Anthony R. Page (Film - TV - Theater - Photography - Design - Advocacy)

A couple of weeks ago at the Atlanta Creators Conference, we did a pop-up performance of SOMEWHERE IN SUMMERVILLE.  All in all the experience was fulfilling on so many levels. the actors Jesse Bingham and Aminah Williams were great to work with - - their focus, flexibility, and commitment open the door for me to lead them deeper into the work...and I believe I was able to open up some new things for them... With the time we had, we certainly hit a mark, however, the experience was so collaborative, enriching, and inspiring I know that we only scratched the surface...(good talent has a way of affirming that)... and even though we were all very satisfied with what we presented, we all knew that we weren't done yet...I am sure our collaboration in some capacity will continue... I ran across some photos that I grabbed during one of our rehearsals, I am reminded of how much I love working with and bringing out the best in people.  On the spiritual plane, it has become clear to me t...

These are a series of clips from the short film THE IMPORTANT PARTS(s) OF ME..it's a project I've had in development for quite a while...we are finally seeing some traction so I wanted to share some of the moments we used as a proof of concept for the series. ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is a sizzle on one of the key characters from a film I began to develop a few years ago...at the time we didn't get the traction we needed to get it to where it needed to be...so the project has languished for awhile. Here lately we have some interest in the project and we are in the midst of remixing and re-imagining it as a TV series...so I wanted to share some of the footage we captured back then... NOTE: We had a really fantastic group of talent across the board...in front of and behind the camera. Some of the talent included in this sizzle are Beliria Sims, Dylan Bradley, Angel L Henderson, Raina ...
