Drama Series Directing Assignment - Episode 3 & 4 of new TV series (distribution in place) moved to March 2021 due the virus.  Still very excited about this one, and currently working with the producer and writer on script adjustments.  

​Music:
 The music scene has been crippled by the virus shutdowns, and live performances for all but a few duos or very small groups cancelled.  However, when there is a will there is a way.  Just as some TV production has restarted, Fred put together a new big band as a "rehearsal band," allowing ensemble playing with appropriate spacing and other safety procedures in place.  The Players is an 18 piece instrumental ensemble of mostly top pros musicians.  There will be an outdoor concert  with appropriate social distancing or a drive in style concert at the Antique Gas & Steam Museum in Vista CA.  
on Sunday December 13th,  2:00-3:30pm.  
                       Calling themselves The Players, the band will feature Jazz, Rock, and Pop
                                       with amazing soloists and a surprise guest singer.

...this book is a fast-track to understanding how to take your business to an entirely new level.  

"Advocate for the Audience" is one of those rare books that literally has "gold" on every page. Fred Ashman has taken a lifetime of insider information, tips, and production tricks, and compiled it all into a series of stories that are not only entertaining, but also teach exactly what is necessary to be successful as a creative entrepreneur.  


Rolland Smith is former news anchor for WCBS-TV New York and WWOR-TV New York, co-host of “The CBS Morning Program,” and in Washington, DC, as White House and Capitol Hill correspondent.
Every once in a while, an instructive text comes along to help the student, and the professional navigate the pits and falls of cinematic production and video presentations. Fred Ashman's "Advocate For The Audience" is not only instructive; it is inspirational.
