- Hosted by actress & filmmaker, Lucia Grillo, a near-lifelong vegan, Lucia's Vegan Lifestyle is the only show dedicated to 100% all-around vegan lifestyle - for the animals, for humans, and for the Planet. Airing on Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN)'s Lifestyle Channel 2, Lucia's Vegan Lifestyle reaches some 600,000 cable subscribers throughout Manhattan and the boroughs, and unlimited viewers worldwide during simultaneous live stream on the network's website and subsequent YouTube, FB Watch, and IGTV premieres. When the vegan lifestyle & culinary segments Lucia conceived for a New York cable TV show she produced and hosted for 10 years garnered 50,000+ views - a record for both the show and the channel - she knew she was onto something. Requests came in for a fully vegan show, so Lucia committed to giving her fans what they want - and created Lucia's Vegan Lifestyle. Covering food, beauty, fashion, activism, home, fitness, and health, LVL is sophisticated yet fun - with Lucia doing it all: dining at vegan diners or high-end establishments; interviewing designers, popular cookbook authors, activists; cooking and restaurant reviews with her hilariously DeNiro-like Italian Chef father; shoe and clothes shopping; trips to the spa or DIY self-care; at work on set as an actress, filmmaker, and model; and everything a lifelong vegan does during the course of a normal day - and not-so-normal days! Join actress and filmmaker Lucia Grillo along for the ride of vegan challenges and victories - as veganism becomes more diffuse and our host makes it accessible to everyone: be it in Brooklyn, Hollywood, Europe or wherever life takes her - and us.
- Written and directed by Lee Madsen, HAPPY IN THE VALLEY, is an off-beat, dark comedy set deep in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley that follows Stewart Fox (William Forsythe) a 50-something photographer, whose days as a premiere chronicler of rock-n-roll greats is long over. He's manages to pay the bills and then some as the self-described "world's greatest erotic photographer," a moniker that rings more hollow every time it comes out of his mouth. Which it does, often. Awash in drugs and alcohol Stewart's lost all zest for life. He's watched over by his beleaguered wife, Donna (Ursula Brooks), who's started to wonder why she stays. Even his models, jaded from years of working in porn, are beginning to tire of him. To help Stewart, Donna hires young art school student Wade Ward (Shaun Sipos) to photograph him for his autobiography "The World's Greatest Erotic Photographer, Ever!" Desperately broke, Wade takes the job but finds his dependence on Stewart for income corruptive. Matters further complicate when Wade falls for Queenie (Zoë Hall), Stewart's conflicted new model who has her own demons to dance with. Wade takes a dim view on the darkly comical proceedings as Stewart races to what may be his final bottom, he drags along a reclusive alcoholic neighbor (Dee Wallace), a lonely detective (Lew Temple), his lascivious assistant (Josh Marchette) and finally Donna who's possibly had enough after all. Redemption may be right around the corner. It's just not for everybody.

- 2016–TV EpisodeI'm doing something a little different today. I ended up staying up last night watching videos of all of these Broadway performers. They were performing off stage. They were performing in subway stations, on planes, in malls, that kind of thing. And it really got me thinking about the differences between Los Angeles and New York. Being a New Yorker who has been in Los Angeles for so many years, I definitely know what the difference is. Everything from cost of living; both places are expensive. New York is definitely more expensive. But also the attitudes, the egos, the whole thing is just very different. And I mention this because, when I was watching these videos in particular, the one that really stood out was from Lion King. And I believe it was the touring company. They sung, Circle of Life. It just really stuck with me. They're on a New York subway. I bring all this up because when you're considering, "what do you want to do?" That's a question you have to ask yourself. I know in Los Angeles, I was asked that over and over again by so many people when I first met them, the first few years of my being there.
- 2016–TV EpisodeWe're going to speak about some filmmaking essentials: THE STAR WARS INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, and more specifically, what was at the foundation of what made the Star Wars brand such a branding powerhouse that it is today, leading up to Disney's acquisition. I'm going to share with you some of the history of one of the most successful brands in history, as well as some of what happened after Hollywood's Golden Age, in particular, some facts on epic and swashbuckler-themed films and the rise of the anti-hero, that helped influence George Lucas, the creator of 'Star Wars'. What occurred in Hollywood after the end of the studio system in the 50s and 60s had an influence on the 'Star Wars' universe. For many, much of the early things that occurred to keep the brand alive may not be what you may have expected, especially back in the 1970s. And for me, these details not only helped influence me getting into visual effects, they were influential on how I viewed and put together packages as a producer for television shows and for films.

- The first stage in the filmmaking production process you need to do and be mindful of, during the Coronavirus Pandemic is the development stage. This is the stage when ideas for a film are put together. Sometimes that means acquiring the rights to a book, stage play, magazine article, video game, comic book, graphic novel, or directly from the source of a true story. Other times the screenplay has already been written or a pitch for an idea is available.
- The second stage in the filmmaking production process you need to do and be mindful of, during the Coronavirus Pandemic is the pre-production stage. This is the stage when you prepare all of the moving parts to your project. No matter how much you may want to jump into running full-steam with your project, pre-production should not begin until you have financing secured, as well as the cinematographer, key production crewmembers and cast are all secured.
