Production Notes
Producer - Steve MitchellSteve won his third regional Emmy for this series. As a former Speech, Drama, and TV production teacher that ended up producing educational videos for a public television station, this series was a labor of love. He taught in a small community that was 75 miles from the nearest professional theatre or TV station. "I would have loved to have had a way for the pros to speak to my students. This is my answer to that problem. I've interviewed successful professionals and asked them the questions I'd have liked to hear my students ask. I've even gone one better and interviewed students who are currently doing something to prepare themselves for a run at "making it" as a professional. I hope you'll enjoy using these programs as much as I enjoyed producing them." - Shameless Self Promotion
