Game Over Series (Sun Center Studios)
I really want to be a part of Sun Center Studios (Alston, PA) but they don’t appear to be hiring yet. I’ve tried to make several in roads. Ideally, I want to be Sun Center Studio’s Official Blogger – interviewing the filmmakers, actors and crews on the lot, taking photos, keeping the public up-to-date on all the happenings at this premier sound stage facility. Owner, Jeff Rotwitt plans to make the studios a big tourist destination with tours, upscale chain restaurants,shopping etc.. like a mini-city just outside Center City Philadelphia. With all that, the Sun Center website will require a full-time blogger, and that blogger is going to be me!…

Have you checked out Tinsel & Tine’s Silver Sites?
Team Jasmine Kaloudis Yoga (Museum of Art), benefiting Living Beyond Breast Cancer I’d like to draw your attention away from film and food for a moment and ask that you take notice of Tinsel & Tine’s “Silver Sites” listed at the bottom of my last post on the page (scroll down). This is where I link to businesses, people, places and sites that are doing good works, are spiritual in nature, connected to Philly, or all of the above, like Synergy by Jasmine Yoga. I’m going to try my hand (arms, feet, legs torso) at yoga again. I gave it up for about 6 months because I was feeling everything…

Philadelphia Film Society at Tribeca Film Fest
I sat down with PFS Executive Director, Andrew Greenblatt to get the scoop on what he liked at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival and what Philly audiences might expect during the upcoming 20th Philadelphia Film Festival (Oct. 13-23, 2011). My first thoughts when it comes to attending the more well known film festivals, is all about being a part of the gala celebrations, red carpets and rubbing elbows with the celebrities. Andrew intentionally avoids all that, he’s there to screen – saw 15 films in 5 days, and aims to see a minimum of 4 films a day at Cannes. Therefore, he didn’t light “A Candle in the Wind” or…

Film Hightlight – Digital Dharma
PFS held their first Happy Hour not related to a specific film screening. It was just a chance for their members, attendees and guests to meet, drink and chat (hopefully about movies, but not necessarily), in the hospitably relaxed beauty of Positano Coast. (Truly, one of my favorite restaurants in the City). Best of all, if you attended the happy hour with a project to pitch/promote, I have the power as PFS Blog Contributor to feature your film on both their site and here on Tinsel & Tine. Anita Reher (pictured middle) is involved with a film project called Digital Dharma – a fantastic portrait of a man’s devotion…

Philly Restaurant – Landmark Americana
It has pained me so much these last few years, because of financial constraints, not to participate in Restaurant Week and Dine Out for Life. However, this year I thought, perhaps if I give a little, I’ll get a little, or a lot! And made Dine Out for Life reservations (Thurs 4/28) at Landmark Americana /University City (3333 Market Street). The restaurant doesn’t look very crowded in this picture because I went for a late 3pm lunch. But I can imagine on the nights featuring trivia, musical bingo and open mic, accompanied by various drink specials like $3 Margaritas and $1 Miller Lites, this place is probably hoping with the…
