THE NURSE Limited Series Review

NETFLIX | “The NURSE” At first glance, the script appears to be going in one direction with a trajectory to continue the same path. However, this limited series based on true actual events is anything but a monotone-composed script.

Oui Oui Oui – SHORTS TV

For 14 hours a day and at least 5 days a week, I am watching short films. I keep the television in my office on DirecTV’s SHORTSTV channel. It’s a way for me to feel surrounded by my peers, be entertained, educated, and inspired. It’s also a great way to stay motivated on my own…

CHARACTER MUCH

WESTWORLD encompasses the epitome of Character Creation:.Please tell me, (especially if you’re the reader/writer type) that you have at least a mental bank of bad-arse characteristics and traits that you like your film subjects to possess.
