As producers our reel reflects our accomplishments. It highlights our latest projects, showcases our talent, demonstrates our expertise and illustrates our creativity. It reflects the breadth of our work at a specific point in time. Our reel is a constantly changing compendium of our professional careers. In this age of digital media one might ask why do a printed newsletter? I have asked the same question. The goal of this quarterly newsletter is to provide a written physical record, a snapshot, that reflects the state of our industry at a given point in time. Hopefully, over the years to come this publication will serve as a compendium of the state of our industry and of our many accomplishments. Time will tell. I would be remiss if I did not mention several individuals who initiated, executed and collaborated on the production of the DPA Newsletter from its inception in 2005 to the present: Todd Sims, Merilee Kick, Josh Hurst, the artists at Liquid Logixx Studios, Bob Dauber, Keith Duncan, Russ Jolly, and Deanna Sanchez. A special thanks to our new designer, David Fiegenschue of FigDesign. I hope you enjoy viewing this and future editions of “The Reel.” Clayton Coblentz President, Dallas Producers Association

Tyler mounts arrive at MPS Tyler Camera Systems has named MPS Studios Dallas the new, exclusive North Texas dealer for Tyler Mount systems. MPS is one of only 35 dealers worldwide, and will carry the Middle Mount II and Nose Mount II, as well as gyro systems. “We’re proud to partner with Tyler in offering these mounts, which have long been the workhorse in helicopter shoots,” said Mark Beasley, president of MPS Studios Dallas. “As a company who has provided cameras to clients world-wide for more than 30 years, we have the inventory and technical staff to support productions using these specialized systems.”  4

“Shortcake” Cunningham, and on the timeslot next door, Eddie Mekka played Carmine “The Big Ragu” Ragusa, a singer/ dancer with an on-again/off-again romance with Shirley on “Laverne & Shirley.” Mekka and Moran will portray husband and wife in CODE ENFORCER. CODE ENFORCER, a broad comedy featurelength film that light-heartedly shows the ins and outs of Home Owners Associations, is being produced in Austin. Greg Dorchak and Steve Cauley started writing CODE ENFORCER while working on another film. Since both writers live in subdivisions with HOAs, they had plenty of experience to draw on. Cauley and Dorchak are the co-writers and producers, with Cauley directing and Dorchak performing. “I laughed out loud all the way through the script,” said Kitchens. “Now, I know some will not be surprised by that statement, but I am actually picky about my comedy.” As Dorchak said, “The great thing about this movie is that it does not take itself too seriously. The story is funny, silly-funny — not very heavy-handed at all. Even the jabs it takes at the establishment, all done very light-heartedly.” Cauley agrees. “People want to actually laugh all the way through a comedy — and CODE ENFORCER will have them doing that very thing. There are a lot of scenes that still make us laugh — and we wrote it.” While the majority of the cast and crew are from Austin, Dallas is represented in key lead roles in the film. Adam Kitchen stars as the code enforcer whose dream is to follow in his ancestors’ footsteps and be a true law enforcer. CODE ENFORCER also stars North Texans Laurel Whitsett and Jennifer Sipes (Oliver Stone’s W.) in leading roles. 

A Need-to-Know Policy Guide for Independent Filmmakers

Download full FREE study at www.itvs.org/digitalfutures A joint project of Independent Television Service & the Center for Social Media at American University. Funded by The Media, Arts & Culture Unit of the Ford Foundation

From the quagmire of copyright to the broadband revolution, digital technology has changed the game for independent filmmakers everywhere. What do these technologies look like? How will the battles over new policies affect filmmaking?

question with digital is not what might happen, but what we will actually do with it.

The dizzying pace of digital change has, in fact, caught us all somewhat by surprise. Businesses and lawmakers are scrambling to catch up with the changes wrought by Digital Futures is a free guide designed to help this technological explosion. New business models and independent filmmakers survive and thrive in the digital new policies are being built today and tomorrow to deal age.

¶ Digital Challenges and Opportunities for Indies The good news for independents is that digital technology has made production cheaper, faster, and more manageable. It has also opened up avenues for distribution, such as the Internet and, to a lesser extent, cable and satellite, while drastically reducing the costs of replicating copies of an independent’s work. And that’s also the bad news. Independents now face challenges in three big areas: ownership, distribution, and funding. Specifically: Ownership: How will Indies protect their work from unauthorized use and copying, while still having access to others’ work for legitimate use in their own creations? Distribution: Will new distribution networks give Indies more or less access to audiences—and how will that distribution affect production? Public support: How will the public resources now provided—such as spectrum allotments and public funding—change in the digital era? ¶ How Digital Lockup Affects You Digital files can be copied with a click, and each copy is just as good as the original. Major content owners say free downloading is eroding their businesses. So the search is on to find out how to control content in a digital age. Two current solutions: lock up equipment so it can’t play unauthorized copies, and lock up individual copies — and sometimes both. There is good news and bad news for indies about digital lockup strategies. It can keep people from illegally copying your creations, and it can convince providers to accept digital broadcasting. It could even bring down costs of sharing material safely within public broadcasting. It can also prevent you and your

audiences from accessing material you want and need to see, and it could simply erase the fair use doctrine technologically. ¶ …media industries are looking to electronics manufacturers to design equipment so that it won’t play unless you’ve paid. They are also exploring software that computer firms, especially Microsoft, believe could be the answer for control over your own work in the digital era: digital rights management, or DRM. DRM adds a new permission-checking layer to technologies that work with digital media. ¶ Everyone agrees that we need new business models for a digital era. But current designs of DRM, and the laws that support them such as the DMCA, are tilted to limit users and to protect incumbent businesses, rather than enabling and encouraging new business models. Will DRM be developed in ways that can be targeted, and that can limit the loss of existing rights such as first sale and fair use? Consumer advocates have called for the software industries to work with artists to find creative approaches. How will the privacy of users be honored as DRM develops? Will users have a choice not to share personal information if they want to use the film or music or book they have purchased?

Conclusion Digital lockup technology, if developed creatively, could be an important element in new business models for a digital era. In its most rigid form, it could increase the power of media distributors at the expense of artists and consumers, impinge upon privacy, limit alternative distribution avenues, impose restrictions on film content, and limit what types of theaters can screen your work and what devices can play them. 

who’s really watching? Two new studies indicate that much of what one reads about entertainment technology may not be true. In one study, conducted by researchers Frank N. Magid Associates for the Vuze video site, found that those using peer-to-peer software to access movies online are some of the biggest purchasers and renters of DVDs. Another study conducted by Sequent Partners and Ball State University’s Center for Media Design indicated that far fewer people actually watch video online than previously believed and watch more television than they say they do. The study, which relied on observed behavior rather than surveys (“self report”), also disputed previous studies that concluded that consumers avoid most television advertising.  Source: US_UK_EU_ProducersAlliance US_UK_EU_ProducersAlliance@yahoogroups.com dallasproducers.org

MEETINGS by Laurel Wilson January 2009 At our first meeting of 2009, Jeff Evans with Roeder & Moon, Linda McAlister with Linda McAlister Talent, and Don Stokes with Post Asylum discussed the upcoming legislative session and answered questions concerning efforts to obtain more film incentives in Texas. There was a positive exchange on the strength of our industry and how our infrastructure is still strong in Texas. Don Stokes, President of the TXMPA, shared how we are seeking a significant enhancement to the existing legislation that will be multi tiered and allow the State of Texas to be competitive in attracting and keeping business in the State. The program is designed to encompass a broader range of production types and have lower spending threshold qualifications to better fit the needs of native Texas producers.

legislation It is my extreme pleasure to report a very successful legislative session for the moving image industry. Texas Motion Picture Alliance, with support from the Dallas Producers Association, has played an integral roll in the passage of HB 873 which created our enhanced and flexible incentive program as well as HB 2521 which creates guidelines for preferred vendor status for Texas based companies in producing media-related services for the State and SB 1929 which creates media production development zones which encourages the creation and development of production infrastructure like sound stages. Of equal importance, our full funding request of $62 million dollars for HB 873 was passed by both the House and Senate. — Don Stokes

March 04: Lobby Day “Our lobbying effort is a community affair. It will take the efforts of all of us in the industry to make the enhanced incentive program a reality. Lobby Day 2009 was a phenomenal success and certainly raised industry awareness among the legislators. It is my honor as President of TXMPA to be part of this immense team. We participated in the initial hearing on HB 873 on Wednesday, March 4 during our Lobby Day efforts. The witnesses that spoke on our behalf did so passionately and from the heart. Their testimonies spoke to the problems facing our industry in Texas and to the solutions for bring the business back. The committee members listened and I believe understood our message. I think we will make it out of committee and look forward to the placement of our bill on the House Calendar. At this juncture I feel good about our legislation passing but I know there will be challenges ahead especially on the appropriation front. I’d like to thank everyone for their efforts. Without all of you we wouldn’t stand a chance.” — Don Stokes, President, Texas Motion Picture Alliance, DPA Board Member “Throughout TXMPA Lobby Day 2009, it became evident that legislators from across Texas were gaining a better understanding of how the moving picture industry impacts the economy. Many legislators were already onboard; whereas, some legislators were early in their understanding. The force of everyone pulling in the same direction, starting with Governor Rick Perry and the 700+ constituents at the Capitol, was felt by all the legislators. It was hard to miss on the Senate floor, the House floor, and on the front lawn of the Capitol. It was a great day for the state of Texas and our economy will be better off for it. The bottom line is creating and retaining jobs in Texas. Our collective efforts on TXMPA Lobby Day 2009 contributed to the bottom line in a significant way. Many thanks to all who attended in person and to those that were there with us in spirit.” — David S. Friedman, TXMPA, North Texas Regional Representative, DPA Member 12

West Nile Virus

With cases of the West Nile Virus increasing each season in the Dallas area, the City of Dallas’ Department of Environmental and Health Services is charged with educating and informing the public about the ways they can reduce mosquito breeding and the spread of West Nile. In addition to numerous printed materials and on-line information, EHS added a new component to the education and information campaign this year in the form of an animated commercial. The target audience is children and their parents. The commercial was developed by local VFX and Animation house, Green Grass Studios, and will be aired on broadcast TV and in-house networks at retail outlets beginning next spring. 14

“If we can get people’s interest in controlling mosquitoes and protecting themselves when exposed to mosquitoes then we can reduce the number of cases of mosquito borne disease,” said Rodger Jayroe, Manager of Environmental Assessment for the City of Dallas. “Public education is the key facet of that effort and the animated commercial provides an attractive and entertaining way of getting that message across.”  Krista Londoff, Marketing Green Grass Studios, LLC www.greengrassstudios.com
