“I've had a long association with the theater over the years but I had never produced a play and it was something that I'd always wanted to do.The movies moved away from dramas, and I think that I'm very excited by the opportunity to take smart writing that takes risks and see it on stage. It's exciting to see that engagement between the audience and the playwright.” ThinkingWritingYearsLongPlayWantedOpportunityAudienceRiskStageDramaSmartExcitingTheaterMovedExcitedEngagementAssociationPlaywright Author:Colin Callender
“At heart, I'm really interested in this marriage of theater, film and television and I think what happened in the UK and obviously is happening here is that there's a convergence of talent kind of moving between the different disciplines and I find that very exciting.” ThinkingHeartKindDifferentFilmMovingHappenedTalentTelevisionDisciplineHappeningsExcitingTheaterFilm And TelevisionConvergence Author:Colin Callender
“I think that's so particularly exciting about this moment in time is all the new platforms that are now existing, the Netflixes and the Hulus and Amazons and so and so forth; I mean they are really doing what pay TV was doing twenty years ago. So a show like Dancing On The Edge gets to have a digital life after it's playing on Starz. I think what's exciting is how these new platforms are providing more opportunities both for first-run programming on the one hand but also for second plays for shows that have appeared first either on traditional broadcast or on cable.” ThinkingYearsFirstsMeanPlayMomentsShowsHandsRunningOpportunityPayTvsYears AgoExcitingTwentiesDancingEdgesTraditionalProgrammingDigitalPlatformsProvidingCablesMoments In TimeNetflix Author:Colin Callender
