<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Face Off</i> is down to four contestants, and this week's Spotlight Challenge was to choose two characters from the new SyFy show, <i>Defiance</i>, and create a hybrid. Anthony picked the Liberata and Mutant creatures. To get a closer look, the contestants were surprised with a trip to Toronto to visit the set of <i>Defiance</i>!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anthony's hybrid was very successful, the judges loved his overall look and paint job and thus, awarding Anthony the winner of the challenge and the first spot into the season finale!

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anthony chose Anubis, the patron God of embalming. Unfortunately, the judges were unhappy with his overall paint job and thought the head dress could have been bigger.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In my personal opinion, this was by far my most favorite challenge of this season on <i>Face Off</i>! The contestants were taken cliff side where they had to create a new species of aquatic life as they did in movies such as <i>The Abyss</i> and <i>Avatar</i>. The twist is they would also have to utilize bioluminescence paint, which is visible under infrared light. Anthony decided to create an amphibious warrior creature taking inspiration from the red-eyed tree frog. Anthony received a positive response from Michael Westmore on his walk-through with each contestant.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a whole, the group came up with some interesting concepts. Anthony and Wayne landed in the top looks while Megan, House and Eric Z. landed in bottom looks.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For the bioluminescence challenge, Anthony was announced the winner! His sculpt was amazing with special attention to detail, while his bioluminescent paint job was spot on! The pictures don't do his creature justice, if you haven't seen this episode, I highly recommend you catch a re-run or download it on iTunes!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">This week the Spotlight Challenge was to select an abstract image, which turned out to be a microscopic close up of a bug! The contestants had to incorporate their insect color and texture on a life-size version of their selected bug. Anthony chose the army ant, and it proved to be a difficult challenge this week. Regardless of Anthony landing on the bottom this week, he still was voted safe by the judges.</span></div>

In this Foundation Challenge, the contestants were teamed up to turn a large group of background actors into zombies! Anthony was teamed up with Megan and their quick make-up attack and collective group completion landed them on the top. Megan was awarded immunity for this week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I attended the GRAMMYs with my Uncle (Theio in Greek) and music producer, Mike Vasilomanolakis and talented musician, Omar Akram! Omar's fourth and most recent album, <i>Echoes of Love</i> was nominated for Best New Age Album!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">A majority of the categories, including Best New Age Album, was held at the pre-televised ceremony at Nokia Theatre across from the Staples Center. It was a full house with wonderful performances and entertaining presenters. As the event unfolded, the moment we had all been waiting for finally approached, the category for Best New Age Album.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The pure joy and overwhelming moment took our entire group on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Omar accepted his GRAMMY with the biggest smile and had a lovely speech. Mike gave a moving and heartfelt speech as he was as ecstatic as Omar! Much congratulations to Omar and Theio Mike for their tireless effort in touching the hearts of the listeners with Omar's moving and inspiring music!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As the night went on, I was able to experience the joy once again in support of Halestorm who won the GRAMMY for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance for their song, <i>Love Bites (So Do I)</i>! Going up against rock and heavy metal veterans, they were shocked and blown away at their win which was evident in their acceptance speech. Much congratulations goes out to Halestorm for their relentless effort to climb the ladder in the rock world by creating great music, putting on kick ass rock shows and recognizing their fans who are continuously supportive.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After the pre-televised ceremony, we made our way to the Red Carpet for the GRAMMY Awards show at the Staples Center. What a thrilling moment walking down the Red Carpet with amazing and talented artists and actors. The GRAMMY Awards were packed with a punch, with performances by Maroon 5, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, Elton John and Sting to name a few, not to mention the high energy LL Cool J brought to the show as the MC! LL Cool J closed the show with an amazing performance that closed the night the way it began. Another amazing night to remember!</span></div>

I love psychological-thrillers and wanted to do a half-psychological, half-heavy drama. The different elements came together and once they did, it just snowballed from there. I do a lot of writing at night because that is when I feel most creative. After I had my outline I began writing and four hours later I had <span style="font-style: italic;">Lex Talionis</span>.

I wrote the script in October of 2009, started pre-production in March of 2010 and shot it in April, one month before I graduated. It wasn’t a matter of needing cred</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" >it, it was about having another opportunity to shoot a film before I graduated. There are always limitations doing a student film, especially that late into the curriculum. No matter what type of film you are making, a short, a feature or a documentary, there are many things to do and it can be stressful. Budget issues come up, time restraints, schedule conflicts, locations, permits, equipment, etc. The one consistent thing I always learn from each film I do is to stress a little less the next time. Things have a way of working out, sometimes not exactly as planned but the job gets done. There is much to be said for a hard-working and talented crew as well. They are invaluable and it allowed me to focus on my responsibility as the director. Looking back now, it is hard to pinpoint one thing because you learn by doing. And you take each experience with you as you continue on your journey, and sometimes you can’t do anything but roll with it.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">AP |</span> Fair enough.

I knew I wanted to shoot it on film so we shot on Super 16 for this particular project. I didn't want to shoot this one digitally, I wanted keep it on film, just one more time before graduation. I knew it would be awhile before I would shoot on film again, so I figured, I might as well take advantage of this opportunity. Gail Duncan, our film rep from Kodak was so generous, she gave us a huge deal and helped us out tremendously with getting film stock and such. There's nothing like shooting on film, even with the times changing to digital. I think there's something to be said for [shooting digital], but I think there are still films that should be shot on film. You just have to look and see what the story calls for. Michael Mann is one director who I admire. For <span style="font-style: italic;">Collateral</span>, he shot on both film and digital. You can't see the skyline at night if you shoot on film, it's too dark, so that is one example where he shot on digital. I didn't combine mediums on my film, but for me, it’s gaining knowledge and inspiration from other directors and other filmmakers that inspire me to do what I do and make the choices I make.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">AP |</span> Besides that, what was the most difficult challenge and how was that resolved?</span> <span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">MK |</span> One particular challenge was trying to hit the budget to make the film.

Switching to your film, <span style="font-style: italic;">Lex Talionis</span>, how has the response been so far?</span> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />MK |</span> The response has been great. We got into three film festivals, so far, and we have a screening next month for the <a href="http://www.lafemme.org/">LA Femme Film Festival</a>. I did show it to a couple people during the process just to get feedback. It is a heavy story with a lot of information in 15 minutes. People really dig the premise. My whole goal for my film is to extend </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" >it into a feature and use the short as a tool to show the tone and visual style. The screening in Temecula was our premiere, some of my cast and crew came out to see it for the first time in its completion. It was great to hear their positive response to the film. I not only had a composer score the film, but also had Michael Del Palazzo of <a href="http://www.thewakeeffect.com/">The Wake Effect</a> allow us to use a track for the film. It was the first time he was ever part of a film and he was excited to s</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" >ee the finished product and was very happy to have been part of it. It always makes you feel good as a filmmaker when people who were a part of the project or are seeing it for </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" >the first time respond enthusiastically. I am always open to critique, I like people telling me the truth, but the reality is you ask 10 people, 10 people will do it 10 different ways. The most important thing is that I am proud of the finished product and I’m excited to see where the film goes and the prospect of turning it into a feature.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">AP |</span> What advice would you give to young, aspiring filmmakers?

A majority of the time it's a long, hard, difficult road. I'm the type that keep</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" >s fighting and never looks back, but that is what you have to do if you want it badly. You have to go out there and do it, get your hands dirty and make things happen on your own. The best thing anyone has ever told me was ‘no,’ it only made me work harder.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">AP |</span> What is one of your favorite films?</span> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />MK |</span> There are so many films that I love and watch and get inspired by. There are two very specific favorite films, for two different reasons. First, <span style="font-style: italic;">Back to the Future II</span> is one of my favorites and when I was in 7th grade I saw a behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of the film and that is what sparked my interest in film production. I thank my technology teacher for showing that in class or else I probably wouldn't be here today doing what I'm doing. David Fincher and Michael Mann are two directors I most admire for their style, storytelling ability and visual imagery. With that being said, <span style="font-style: italic;">Collateral</span> is my favorite film. In my opinion, Mann hit that one out of the ballpark.</span> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />AP |</span> On a lighter note, have you ever ran coffee for anyone?</span> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />MK |</span> [laugh] You gotta pay your dues, you better believe I have.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-9fnO03byrCVRp_WilopGVXUirUPRfaHsDx2M7-kOZvR1QZvtjmv2jPHFsc347twKmVQ-bUMRrQmlUZ0t8LzprBDnUrP-cyyHaabw5hwiU6DvfKrQdSzlLGlGh1EIAZ745x456NSOXBM/s1600/Picture+1.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 146px; height: 190px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-9fnO03byrCVRp_WilopGVXUirUPRfaHsDx2M7-kOZvR1QZvtjmv2jPHFsc347twKmVQ-bUMRrQmlUZ0t8LzprBDnUrP-cyyHaabw5hwiU6DvfKrQdSzlLGlGh1EIAZ745x456NSOXBM/s320/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656902636109530738" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">AP |</span> Who was the first person you ran coffee for?</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">MK |</span> My mentor, Lee Shallat Chemel, is the first person I ever ran coffee for.
