After Party Studios’ Post

Are you looking for a new show to binge?? A tale of courage, hope, and human connection to the world premiered on Netflix on November 2. Watch the epic series “All the Light We Cannot See”! Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Anthony Doerr, Shawn Levy had waited years to get the rights to be able to adapt this into a show. Levy created this 4-part series to fully embrace the novel’s more quiet and lighthearted moments along with its more central tension. Levy held a worldwide casting search for blind and low-vision actors to cast one of the main characters. Aria Mia Loberti was casted as the Blind French girl protagonist, and Levy said “Aria, every single day, was able to teach me about the experience of living without sight.” This is a wonderful movie with an amazing cast and crew, and we highly recommend it. “The book — just as its title promises — is about lightness and darkness and hope and evil and heartbreak and love,” Levy says. “It’s hardly a happy ending, but it does posit the possibility of survival, the persistence of innocence and hope, and the constant ability to rebuild.” Let us know your thoughts on this show!

So Baby Reindeer and Netflix are in trouble for telling lies. In Richard Gadd's (the writer and main actor) defence he refers to this work revealing his 'emotional truth'. In Netflix's offence the series is billed as 'Based on a true story'. It's a strange artistic place to navigate. A creative's commitment to spinning a yarn that keeps the audience enthralled whilst telling enough truth to not be lying. Clearly, all involved missed the mark. From the perspective of plot development and moving the narrative forward, the truth is often boring. There are a lot of nights eating cereal and watching telly. A lot of hours spent browsing supermarkets for bargains. A lot of living that is repetitive and predictable and in no way furthers the tale you are telling. In real life, we rarely speak in one liners and almost never walk away when we are winning an argument. In real life there is very little poetry in the humdrum of relentless housework, or the hours spent doom scrolling, or the weeks spent lying in bed staring at a ceiling willing the flu to abate. Real life is slower and has less soundbites. When writing the autobiographical, or any form of biography, there has to be an appreciation of both these realities. Entertainment ofttimes needs creative licence but a true story set in contemporary times has a duty of responsibility to the concept of truth.

ICYMI all episodes of 'Fixing Britain with Louise Casey' are now available on BBC Sounds. The series is not just about finding the right policies to fix big social problems, but also how government itself needs to change. Across the series there are 12 governance lessons, ranging from the importance of data to having proper accountability in the system. Lesson number 11 is my particular favourite - have a listen to find out what it is #JFDI https://lnkd.in/eidGaFaE

"Bad News" rakes in 30 crores in just 3 days, but at what cost? Audiences seem to be flocking to the film, despite its cheap comedy and cringeworthy innuendos. Meanwhile, movies with substance and meaningful themes struggle to find an audience. This raises an important question: Are we sacrificing quality for shallow entertainment? Is box office success the only metric that matters, even if it comes at the expense of meaningful storytelling? Is this the kind of content we want to promote and reward? It's time for us to reflect on our choices and consider the impact they have on the kind of cinema we support. We're laughing at jokes that aren't even funny, while real issues go unnoticed and unaddressed. We're perpetuating a culture ofhypocrisy, where we say one thing and do another. We're so caught up in the hype and the excitement that we don't stop to think about the message we're sending.

We're in the money! Following the highly successful launch of MADISON + WALL on Friday (a fictionalized company that really teaches Finance to Marketers), we got the initial green light from CFO George Benaroya for $4M (play money) for a pilot episode of a new comedy drama about the world of office intrigue! As our writer's room gets busy on finalizing the pilot (this is really happening), we want to HEAR from our LInkedIn community -- what are the epic tales from the water cooler to the boardroom that can inspire our writers? what high jinx politics are you juggling at work? does your boss' name rhyme with Michael Scott or maybe Miranda Priestly? Tell us your story in fiction form - that way your story can be as imaginative as a Christopher Nolan masterpiece or as edgy as a Tarantino fable from the dark side - and remember, nothing goes back to HQ!

In today's installment of "Things Kristen Found on Netflix" is a documentary on a fire in 1979 at Sydney's Luna Park (pictured below, thanks to Trip Advisor). Yes, I find that entrance terrifying. But we soldier on. The documentary was made in 2021 by Australian Broadcast Company (now on Netflix) called "Exposed: The Ghost Train Fire." In it, we learn that 7 people died in a massive fire in a specific ride in 1979 and that the nation was told it was an electrical fire. However, that never sat right with some people, including the best friend of four of the boys who passed. So now we've got a few investigative reporters on the case, with the full backing of this network, and stuff. gets. un. covered. Spoiler alert: it was not an electrical fire. I found it both gripping and emotional, as we are asked to sit with the grief of the family members, and the memories of some of the people there that evening. As the reporters peeled back layer after layer of what *actually* happened, my husband and I were on the proverbial edges of our seats. I'm grateful to live in an age where I can watch stories like this from around the world - slices of life that I would have never had access to without streaming services. Plus, I find it incredibly important that - when someone offers up their pain - we learn to sit with it and treat it with care. We don't seek to dismiss it or pretend we know their pain, we simply hold it for them as they process. It's a key part of empathy, which is a core of what we teach. Do you like international documentaries and/or true crime stuff? What's the best thing you've watched recently? #documentary #australia #crimesceneinvestigation #netflixseries
