While shooting their TV pilot in downtown Sarasota, Castille Landon and Harrison Sanborn gave us this exclusive interview about the story behind Worker’s Comp. These 19 year old co-creators have enlisted the likes of Morgan Fairchild and Robert Carridine to star in the project. Castille also stars in the show which Harrison is directing. This independent television pilot is a produced of VADAR Corp. and Sanborn Studios – both local companies. If the pilot sells, additional episodes could be shot in the Sarasota area, bringing a much needed stimulus to the area.

Sarasota Film Festival – The US Premier of An Encounter with Simone Weil
At the Sarasota Film Festival, we had the opportunity to speak with Julia Haslett, director of the documentary An Encounter with Simone Weil. This film is the result of Julia’s six year journey exploring the life and philosophy of Simone Weil, a French philosopher and social activist. Julia approached the project in an unusual way – with an actress who immersed herself in the writings and life of the subject.
Her own alarm over the economic and political conditions of millions of world citizens was an inspiration for this work. The documentary asks critical questions about human suffering. See the trailer here:
