This is a pressing question I asked on my Twitter @teamsamita.
The answer came back "yes"!
The word "online"?raises the possibility of having our online media platform too - what a great actors' channel to have beyond the politics of film stardom in tabloid press.?
In fact, Kay Ross' live broadcast "The Victory Round" on IG & Clubhouse further inspired and is a substantial online show for all Stage 32 members! I highly recommend joining her! Check out this great episode she had?https://www.instagram.com/p/CgG_SkVo6Ng/
Now, I do sponsor actors' talks over film screenings on our Wall of Fame Film Festival channel?https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC41nD95-yYDFsYlgLOac8VA?- would you consider them as a form of a podcast, videocast or show?
I feel getting stuck on the terminology, but the "intention" and "community" that the media format enable are more than just having an online theatre.
So tell me: How would you like to join an actors' talk? Of course, our annual film festival offers much more connections with top finalists, Stage 32 award, media workshop, and honour - we just got qualified on IMDB too yay!??
But having a monthly talk on your screen work is a great way to celebrate too!
Looking forward to hearing your suggestions and have a great end to July!
