To earn a living in Madison, he worked for Wisconsin Public Television, producing segments for the riveting, nationally syndicated show, “Sewing with Nancy”. After mastering embroidery, Barry moved back to Chicago and worked for a short-lived international television syndication company, and then for himself, producing TV shows without buyers. He learned the hard way that a sale should be in place before the cameras start to roll. After deciding that it was Hollywood or bust, Kotler was accepted into the UCLA Producer Program. Fast forward and he is now the coordinator of the Literary Department at the Gersh Agency in Los Angeles. He also serves on the board of the Independent Television Festival. The following interview delves into the current state of writing in Hollywood and how this concept of indie television is starting to shift the small screen's focus to more unique content.

Michael Rotman has written for shows including &lt;strong&gt;Later&lt;/strong&gt; with Greg Kinnear, &lt;strong&gt;Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher&lt;/strong&gt; (for which he was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award- note the nominated so he didn't actually win and Chris Rock has a restraining order out against him - this is a comedy site folks). Michael has written for &lt;strong&gt;Rocket Power&lt;/strong&gt;, as well as a contributing, one day stint on &lt;strong&gt;South Park&lt;/strong&gt; "Tom's Rhinoplasty" (the lesbian teacher episode.) He has been busy producing TV- first as a Supervising Producer on USA's "&lt;strong&gt;Strip Poker&lt;/strong&gt;" then as a Show Producer on "&lt;strong&gt;Street Smarts&lt;/strong&gt;" Producer on The Game Show Network's "&lt;strong&gt;Cram&lt;/strong&gt;." A Story Editor on Fox's show "&lt;strong&gt;Simple Life&lt;/strong&gt;" with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie as well as a Producer on "&lt;strong&gt;The Teen Choice Awards&lt;/strong&gt;" where he directed &lt;strong&gt;Paris&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Nicole&lt;/strong&gt; and celebrity guests like; &lt;strong&gt;Tyra Banks&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Method Man &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Red&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Blink 182&lt;/em&gt;. Currently Michael Rotman is Supervising Story Producer on the new Fox show "&lt;strong&gt;Nanny 911&lt;/strong&gt;". So basically he is a total sellout to the reality tv world to make money but he does have great insights on how tv is changing. He also serves on the board for the Independent Television Festival so despite his looks he is quite smart, funny for a non-goy, and well-connected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LISTEN: &lt;a href="http://indieville.net/podcasts/DS_20143rotman1_rough.mp3"&gt;http://indieville.net/podcasts/DS_20143rotman1_rough.mp3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more details check out &lt;a href="http://itvfest.org"&gt;http://itvfest.org&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://hackcomic.com"&gt;http://hackcomic.com&lt;/a&gt;.

By the mid-90s he was playing in a band called Higher Ground, and when the singer left he reluctantly stepped in, discovering with some surprise that he had a fine voice. When the band fell apart he went to Ibiza to write, but then a chance meeting with Paul at an airport on the way to a club event led to a wild weekend, and the idea of making music together.

We have the official scoop from many of the production team. Paul Sapiano's feature directorial debut showcases his experience as a successful commercial director. In true indie style all the production team pulled long hours for less than scale to create a truly funny and playful film about the LA Club Scene. There are many valid pointers in the film for those looking for the nonstop party that can be Los Angeles. Look out for a mini-series on this project as we also talk with Grammey-winner "Dirty Vegas" Steve Smith who scored the film, Executive Producer Enrique Aguirre, and Graphics Meistro Larimie Garcia.

It was one of the ten films selected for the American Directions portion of the 2003 American Film Institute Film Festival, where it had its world premiere. A Peabody Award winning cameraman, Steve Anderson has shot seven national documentaries for PBS and thousands of hours of broadcast television. He’s been charged by lions on the Serengeti Plain, caught fire in the Malibu fires and been rattled homeless by an earthquake. He’s been blessed by Mother Teresa; seen John Wayne Bobbit’s penis and even once danced with Angelyne. Anderson has gotten drunk with Captain Kangaroo, been trained as a Hollywood stunt driver and flown upside-down with the Ray-Ban Gold Aerial Acrobatic Team. He’s been shot at in the L.A. riots, chased O.J. up the freeway and witnessed both breast and ass implants. Anderson has lounged in the grotto at the Playboy Mansion, walked the red carpet at the Oscars and met celebrities, politicians and movie stars from the Flying Elvises to Bozo the Clown to President Bush. Read Steve's Blog at Blogger.com. The movie website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A provocative new documentary premiering at the AFI Los Angeles International Film Festival had a title too racy to be listed on the large digital marquee inside Hollywood's Arclight cinemas. Yet, movie tickets at AFI Fest boldly proclaimed its title: "Fuck." The origins of the four-letter word, the prevalence of its usage in movies, on TV and in music, and the tightening of restrictions regarding free expression in this country are among the topics explored in Steve Anderson's new film. Through animated segments by Bill Plympton, and conversations with late author Hunter S. Thompson, filmmaker Kevin Smith, critic Michael Medved, columnist Judith Martin (aka "Miss Manners"), rapper Ice-T, porn figure Ron Jeremy, newsman Sam Donaldson, comedians Billy Connolly, Janeane Garofalo, and Drew Carey, and more, Anderson considers the history of the word and its role in popular culture and throughout history. 12 MB (12 min) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://indieville.net/podcasts/20065Fuck.mp3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can always visit &lt;a href="http://indieville.net/"&gt;http://indieville.net&lt;/a&gt; for more information about indie events and other cool stuff!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>indieville2005@indieville.net (Indieville LLC)</author></item><item><title>Margaret Cho performs at wedROCK Benefit</title><link>http://indieville.blogspot.com/2005/12/margaret-cho-performs-at-wedrock.html</link><pubDate>Sat, 24 Dec 2005 10:47:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19118668.post-113545237399347894</guid><description>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Margaret Cho &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cho's performance at the benefit &lt;a href="http://wedrock.com"&gt;wedROCK&lt;/a&gt; supporting equal right for same-sex marriage. 21 MB (21 min) &lt;a href="http://indieville.net/podcasts/DS_20033_cho.mp3"&gt;http://indieville.net/podcasts/DS_20033_cho.mp3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wedROCK: A Benefit Concert for Freedom To Marry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However you feel about the institution, are we really going to sit back and let Bush enshrine fear and loathing into the Constitution?” – John Cameron Mitchell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Being a real American, all about that freedom, I can’t think of anything more hateful and Un-American than someone taking the time to block the union of two people: When I see the happiness of the faces of the same sex couples as they take their vows, it’s so completely wonderful and brave and American.” – Henry Rollins&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ The fact that the right is making a gigantic moral issue of gay marriage should outrage most Americans.

At birth, Ami was diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, later diagnosed as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), and was predicted to survive only to the age of 6. Now, thirty years later, he leaves the woman he loves and returns to the United States to confront the childhood doctor who predicted his early demise. Along the way, he comes to terms with a major incident from his past and pursues a lifelong dream: to ride a Harley Davidson. 39 Pounds of Love is an emotional roller coaster, a fascinating, humorous and truly inspirational ride through life with someone who embodies the very term, carpe diem (Seize the day). 25 MB (27 min) Currently, screening around the country so visit &lt;a href="http://39poundsoflove.com/"&gt;http://39poundsoflove.com/&lt;/a&gt; for showtimes and dates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The film is being independently released so contact your local theater to request that they bring it to your town.&lt;/em&gt;</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>indieville2005@indieville.net (Indieville LLC)</author></item><item><title>Documentary, Back to Bosnia</title><link>http://indieville.blogspot.com/2005/11/documentary-back-to-bosnia.html</link><pubDate>Sat, 19 Nov 2005 09:54:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19118668.post-113242330901761054</guid><description>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Interview with director/producer, Sabina Vajraca &amp; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;producer/editor, Ali Hanson (29 min / 29 MB)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Listen to the interview as they discuss the making of this documentary that has already played in five film festivals. PODCAST:  &lt;a href="http://indieville.net/podcasts/backtobosnia.mp3"&gt;http://indieville.net/podcasts/backtobosnia.mp3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Back to Bosnia&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a documentary film about a family who returns to post-war Bosnia, in order to reclaim their stolen property. While there, the family is confronted with the destruction of their city and forced to examine the community they left behind. They stumble upon an exhumation, visit the sites of war crimes, and seek out the remnants of a city they once called their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was formerly the booming multi-ethnic city of Banja Luka is now a run-down, depressed shadow of its former self. Poverty is rampant, war criminals rule, new generations are ignorant of the past, and the symbols of war and hatred are everywhere. The Dayton Peace Agreement was signed but there is no peace. There is only tension caused by fear, hatred, anger, and the utter confusion over who is to blame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story follows Sabina Vajraca as she probes into the history of the war and her own family’s involvement. Accompanied by a small film crew, she embarks on a path of discovery, guided by the stories of her parents and those they meet along the way.</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>indieville2005@indieville.net (Indieville LLC)</author></item><item><title>Interview with Freddy Rodriguez</title><link>http://indieville.blogspot.com/2005/11/interview-with-freddy-rodriguez.html</link><pubDate>Sat, 19 Nov 2005 00:46:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19118668.post-113239019662758453</guid><description>Listen to FREDDIE RODRIGUEZ (from Six Feet Under) talk about his new independent film project - Piece of the Action, other film projects, and the industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The audio interview is here: &lt;a href="http://indieville.net/podcasts/freddyRodgz.mp3"&gt;http://indieville.net/podcasts/freddyRodgz.mp3&lt;/a&gt; (12 min / 12 MB)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy.
