HOLLYWOOD AWARD SEASON Part ONE : The Golden Globes



HOLLYWOOD AWARD SEASON Part ONE : The Golden Globes  


About a 100 years ago, a group of storytellers descended upon this region.
For years, outsiders said we live in a Town & not a City. They called us shallow, 
vague, an all surface industry, a total facade, a dream factory heavy on the 
nightmare. We were the butt of their jokes, yet somehow, somewhere within 
that criticism, judgement and scrutiny, we perserveered. We created a machine 
that tells stories, reflects on life, death, passion, love, hate, suppression and 
on liberation. Eventually, it really started to piss us off, so we dug down into 
it, we dug deeper, worked harder, smarter, better and faster than ever and we 
came out the other end of it : A City. This is not a town anymore. We are all 
touched by Los Angeles or Hollywood as they sometimes like to call us. Well, 
lets face it, we are like the girl at the party that everyone wants to go home with, 
but when it doesn't happen, those who didn't make the grade all start talking.


Hollywood is constantly criticized and we who live here, work here and grew up 
here, take a lot of flack. At the same time, we get to be a part of an industry 
that like any industry has it's ups and it's downs. The perks truly happen when 
we decide to be a part of it. When we demand that we have something to offer 
it, when we study, work and create something that can contribute to it and when 
we realize, that we were a part of it all along. Everyone has a story. Telling those 
stories, writing those stories, performing those stories, lighting those stories, 
photographing, narrating, recording, developing and editing those stories is 
what we do out here in Hollywood and from there it expands. France, Japan, 
England, India, China, Germany, Spain, Italy, Russia have all created incredible 
contributions to film making : Truffaut, Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Satyajit Ray, 
Fritz Lang, Bunuel, Fellini , Tarkovsky to only name a few examples. Did I leave 
someone out ? Of course I did. You know why ? Because film making has become 
an industry that has spread to everyplace and everyone & everybody has a story.


The native Americans and tribal Africans and Ancient Ancestors sat around a fire 
& discussed the visions of the fathers and grandfathers, mothers and grandmothers, 
people gathered to hear these stories, word got out and the best story tellers 
were honored. This is a tradition that has been with us as humans, since the very 
existence of language itself and quite possibly before we even spoke with words.
Today, various groups of people gather to do this with the contemporary tellers 
of stories. Writers, Film makers, Artists, Performers, Musicians, Technicians 
and a great deal of media that sometimes, somewhere, makes a whole lot of 
money. I personally, never stepped up to tell a story for the money. From the 
stream that I flowed from, the family I was raised in, the neighborhood I walked 
through, the tribes that I met along the way, the only reason to tell a story, the 
only purpose for the effort as I recall, was that you told a story for the glory. 
You told a story because it happened, you told a story because you survived it, 
you told a story because others did not. You told a story because it was the right 
thing to do and you did your best doing it. There were times in life that were so 
astounding, amazing or absurd that to tell the story to soon would only cheapen 
the beauty, the power, the stoic nature of it's participants. Yes, we tell stories out 
here in Hollywood or we help release those stories told else where. Sometimes 
these stories are historically significant, other times they are a relief from the 
grueling aspects of life, others times simply a way to relate to others and still 
at other times to make us laugh at how ridiculous life can be. " Make 'em laugh, 
Make 'em laugh … "  or make them cry as the old adage goes, " No tears in the 
writer, no tears in the reader." Award season is in full effect. The Golden Globes 
being part one of a long and often grueling and frankly difficult period for those 
wonderful and talented individuals who ALL DESERVE recognition from their peers.


Here at the BUREAU of Arts and Culture, we have decided to participate this year, 
creating lists of who will win, what the word on the street is and who we would like 
to win. Its a horse race of sorts and with the Golden Globes, we actually picked 
Sixteen Awards right on the money. We also garnered Four 'Word on the Street' 
decisions, One 'Deserves the Award', recognition and only missed five categories 
entirely. The problem with all of this is how extremely unfair it is to put some of 
our top performers through this some times embarrassing process. The excitement, 
the pressure, the wackiness is all part of the so called game. That said, you have to 
hand it to people like Leonardo DiCaprio, who knows how to thank every single actor 
in their category by name. With the Golden Globes, it is especially awkward & difficult 
to understand some of the categories, films & performers competing against one another. 
Film and Television are entirely different mediums and yet with cable, the two have 
much more in common than ever before. The future of our medium, that of film 
making, that of story telling, that of the spectacular situations we call entertainment 
is constantly evolving and sometimes it devolves a bit, a sort of expand and contract. 


Obviously, with living film makers such as Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese & Spielberg, 
for example, we have in our very lifetime, extremely important story tellers here and 
now. With history, we have the careers of endless actors, writers, directors & producers 
to draw inspiration from. Hollywood and the ever expanding industry of film making is 
an awesome piece of machinery. We need to honor our heroes, our storytellers, our 
musicians and performers and technicians, but more than that, we need to be sure 
that we protect, procure and provide for those up and coming. Lets turn to the great 
city of Detroit and the unstoppable automobile industry to understand what indeed 
can happen to any thriving industry. No less than a few decades ago, something was 
there and now it is gone. A hundred years ago, a group of people came out West to 
start an industry which we all love, in one way or another, everyone has a favorite 
film, a favorite writer, director, musician, etc …  Who receives the awards is always 
fun to see, sometimes frustrating, other times sad, sometimes exhilarating and 
often some what unfair. So, as we move deeper into awards season, lets consider 
what we sometimes in quantum theory call, 'The Other Universe', the place where 
an entirely other set of choices happens, all choices happen and understand that 
everyone up there is a winner too. Take it a step further and understand that many 
who are not up there at all are winners. There are films that you will never see that 
are indeed winners and so it goes, such is life, all is well, 'goodnight and have a 
pleasant tomorrow',  kind of thing, if you know what I mean.  In today's day and age, 
we never really know who will become a great story teller, performer or musician. 
Who would ever have thought that Robert Redford would grow into one of the best 
film directors in the United States, if not the world. I certainly never did. But then 
it happened: A River Runs through It, The Legend of Bagger Vance & Quiz Show. 
A perfect trio of films that are each equally American, important and entertaining. 
Careers in this industry can be amazingly surprising, they go up, they go down, 
and so it goes. What an incredible machine this is, you get to tell the story and 
quite possibly, it lasts forever. As long as whatever 'forever' actually means to us. 


So then, congratulations to the winners, congratulations to the nominees and a big 
congratulations to the people who were never nominated, the girl who almost got 
the part, the guy who ended up on the proverbial cutting room floor and the poor 
person who contributed a majority of ideas & may have never been credited, payed 
or thanked along the way. This is a big machine and in working with big machinery, 
people get hurt and sometimes they get retired and even worse, they sometimes 
leave us forever. Is there a way to humanize this process ? Is there a way to protect, 
procure and provide for important up & coming talent in this industry ?  Is there a 
way to keep this incredible city and industry we call Hollywood open to new talent. 
I wouldn't know. But for those on the inside, those with the money, those with the 
ability, those with the resources, those with the reputations, those with the track 
record, those with the nominations, those with the awards, look around you. Take 
a good look around you and remember that first time you got the part, that first 
time you received a check, that first time you were invited to collaborate, that first 
time you read a fabulous story, that first time you were attracted to this machine 
we call Hollywood, Film Making, Story Telling and ask yourself who is next ? Who 
deserves the kind of chances I received ? Who has a story that may not actually be 
sitting on my agents desk. Who is worthy of telling a story?  Who can I assist to 
get where I am now ? How can I recognize it when I see it ? For the individual who 
looks out for another while on top, is the individual who looks in the mirror every 
single day and recognizes the fact that THEY are a winner. With or without, 'The 
Envelope please … '.

San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory


Welcome New Opus Project Conductor Maestro Mario Miragliotta

Publication date: 
 January 6, 2014
This month we interviewed Maestro Mario Miragliotta, SDYS' most recent addition to the Community Opus Project team. An experienced and celebrated conductor, Mr. Miragliotta has performed and conducted in Brazil, Spain and all over the United States. As a conductor, he has directed youth groups as well as professional ensembles throughout Southern California. He was also a Guest Conductor for the Aspen Festival Orchestra in 2005. Maestro Miragliotta has degrees from USC, Yale and Universidade Estadual Paulista, Brazil

How have you enjoyed your first couple of months teaching and conducting our Opus students?
 
It has been very rewarding for me to get to know each student a little better and to hear them playing their instruments... it is just sweet for me to hear a child play. They have been responding well and have been making steady progress. This is all I care about: if they make progress that means that we are working in the right direction. I believe that any child, I mean any child, has the potential to play an orchestral instrument well if given the proper instruction. This is were my job carries a big responsibility which I take very seriously. 
 
You've conducted and taught at many orchestras and organizations across the country and the world, what led you to join SDYS' Opus Project?
 
When I read that the Opus project catered to young students from financially challenged families, it 'clicked' with me because this is how I started. I auditioned to a city sponsored school so that I could have free viola lessons. In addition, the school also provided me, free of charge, with my first viola. This is what Opus does, it allows students who would otherwise not be able to afford to learn an orchestral instrument a chance to do so, and to do it well. Now... answering your question, Opus is an opportunity for me to give back what I was given in the past when I started: "an experience which changed my life forever."
 
What do you have planned for the Opus students in 2014? 
 
I will teach them what it is like to be an artist; what it is like to perform as an artist. Of course this is a very high goal and there are quite a few technical issues which will need to be addressed in order to get there. However, after only four weeks of hard work, they have already shown results when they performed at the end of the year concert (at Castle Park High), clearly displaying a certain musical maturity which was immediately appreciated by the audience. I was really happy with the performance and can't wait to tell them when we start again next week.
 
Have you ever worked with any other El Sistema inspired programs? 
 
No, I have not, however, I read about its benefits and how it is spreading around the world. This is a good thing for all of us, students, their families, the audience, communities, and the society in general. This is art. It is sad to grow old and have no knowledge or appreciation for the arts. Opus is an opportunity for all of us to not only better our youth, but to educate our communities by giving them an chance to enjoy fine arts. This should not be a privilege of the higher classes but a right of any human being.

Saturday January 25th The World Stage 4344 Degnan Blvd. in Los Angeles



DWIGHT TRIBLE & a group of concerned community minded individuals are gathering together to find creative ways to help support THE WORLD STAGE in Leimert Park.
A Place for Music , Writing, Workshops and the like. This would be a good time for
those who know something about fund raising to get on board. It could be time for
some PEACE CONCERT Fund Raiser(s).Dwight and I have spoken about doing a Peace
Concert for The BUREAU of ARTS and Culture.

The last time I was in Leimert Park, was for a Monday night Jazz Jam at Barbara Morisson's.You can read about both Barbara and Dwight at THE MUSIC Page on The
main Website.

The time before that, I could not find a parking space because Channels 2, 4, 5 & 11 ,
as well as every newspaper and radio truck wanted to get the reactions of folks concerned with The tragedy of Treyvon Martin. Where are they now ? The World Stage
is one of the Wonderful Stories related to The African American diaspora in Los Angeles. An important part of the community. Will we see stories about it's need for the support of those who can afford to support it ? I challenge those in my profession to cover the success stories of our beloved African American communities, not just the tragedies.
I personally have drawn sharp criticism from everyone, everywhere, at one time or another, for most of all, being the King of crossover culture: a crown I wear rather proudly. Well, Dwight and I never did get around to our PEACE CONCERT and believe
you me, this magazine needs just as much support as THE WORLD STAGE, but still and
all, I feel we must support each other. So I implore readers to get involved and support the World Stage. 

From Spike Lee to Stevie Wonder, from Roger Guenvere Smith to John Coltrane,
from Public Enemy to Ice - T and a long line of serious courageous individuals who
have stood up for some kind of social change from KING and MALCOLM to Alice WALKER and Danny GLOVER, I have drawn inspiration and I have no problem supporting creative human beings expressing themselves for ART, FILM, MUSIC, EQUALITY and FREEDOM.

We know who we are, we know what we have to do, we will not be divided by Politics, Color, Religion or any other type of divisive ideology that lingers from a haunted past which often plagues our vision. This is The UNITED STATES and it is about time we act like IT !  U-N-I-T-E ! Not Black, not White, not Left , not Right : The UNITED STATES of AMERICA. Period .
