Go Miska! The Realization of a New Webseries.

July 22, 2011 by Marilyn Horowitz

I get a thrill from students and colleagues improving their writing, and seeing it come to life – check out my student Miska’s new ‘Here’s the Thing…’ Webseries Kickstarter campaign progress. (Stop by in NYC, Miska!)

Hello Fans,

The ‘Here’s the Thing…’ Across America road trip officially wrapped up this past week with our last interviews in Los Angeles and the successful funding of our Kickstarter campaign. To all of you who backed us on our campaign, a HUGE THANKS!!! I am psyched to have pulled off this trip with your help, it means a lot to feel your support behind me.

The trip was tremendously rewarding for Jennifer and I, both as filmmakers and human beings. We had so many intense and meaningful moments – we laughed, we cried, we listened in amazement… I was humbled to be invited into our subjects’ homes and trusted with some of their most personal stories. I’ve got a lot to chew on in the next two weeks as I make my way back to NYC (yes, another road trip) and begin what promises to be an interesting editing process.

If you missed any of the updates from the road, check out the blog for the full blow by blow of the trip and keep an eye on the Facebook page for updates on the project moving forward. Here’s the final sixteen episode lineup of what we shot:

Charlie Brenneman – mixed martial arts fighter, East Hanover, NJ
Erika Anthony – homicide detective, Birmingham, AL
Lonnie Holley – folk artist, Adamsville, AL
Gary Stamper – hog hunter, South Labelle FL
Virginia – rancher and taxidermist, South FL
Glenn Miller & Randy Saizan – haunted B&B innkeepers, New Orleans, LA
Sonya Howard – tornado victim lost & found organizer, Joplin, MO
Leaford Bearskin – Native American Chief, Wyandotte, OK
Karena Domenico – Earthship resident, Taos, NM
Judy Messoline – UFO Watchtower owner, Hooper, CO
Timmy O’Neill – rock climber and humanitarian, Boulder, CO
Katy Manley – National Park Service Ranger, Grand Tetons, WY
Cary Turner – fireman and paramedic, Salt Lake City, UT
Kye Brackett – musician, choreographer, Las Vegas, NV
Nina Hartley – porn star, sex educator, and Ira Levine – fetishist, director, Los Angeles, CA
Dean Turner – retired hotel developer, Hollywood, CA

Can’t wait to watch these take shape and bring them to life. Look for the first episodes of the series to be released in the fall…

Signing off for now, have a great summer!
