The Interview Showcase #105 - Exclusive Talk with A movie producer /blogger

in hive-111300 •  5 months ago  (edited)



Hello people of Steem and Steemit,

It's a new week, welcome to the 105th edition of “The interview showcase...." and my 29th show for 2024.



If you are new to this page, this lifestyle program has many educational values. A weekly interview of users in the blog concerning some trending topics on the Steemit platform. And tips that can help other Steemians to progress positively and help boost the Steem’s growth.

It will help you to get to know more about Steemians around the globe and even Steem and Steemit itself.



I take time to look at some of the most important topics in the blockchain and have a chat/call with Steemians who have a greater idea about those topics.

They also share some tips that can help other users understand the blockchain and correctly use it. Sometimes they seek valuable suggestions here to help them solve some of their challenges.


@thescreenaddict's property


On this week's show, I had a great interaction with @thescreenaddict all the way from Netherlands. He is an international media entertainment professional with more than 25 years of working experience, an experienced screen writer and movie producer. He is also a blogger here on Steem blog. Who is this guy...? Let's find out!



Ubongudofot
: Hi Robin, welcome to my show. How would you describe yourself in one sentence?

🔶Thescreenaddict : Well, people cal me The Screen Addict because I am completely obsessed with everything that happens on the screen - film, series, new media you name it.



Ubongudofot
: How did you first hear about Steemit?

🔶Thescreenaddict : I was watching “The Anarchists”, a documentary on HBO Max. The people featured in that series were pretty avid users of the platform, so I got curious and checked it out.



Ubongudofot
: What was your initial impression of the platform?

🔶Thescreenaddict : Lots of rules and unnecessarily complicated. But great potential!



Ubongudofot
: What is the best thing about Steemit?

🔶Thescreenaddict : The fact that you can generate an income with your content.



Ubongudofot
: What are some lapses you would like to see improved on Steemit?

🔶Thescreenaddict : Make it less complicated. I still don’t quite understand how the “achievements” work and why you need them.



Ubongudofot
: What has been the best TV show you have ever hosted or enjoyed watching?

🔶Thescreenaddict : Fiction or non-fiction? Fiction is Breaking Bad, non-fiction probably 90 Day Fiancé.



Ubongudofot
: What inspire you to enter movie career?

🔶Thescreenaddict : I saw E.T. in a movie theater when I was 5 years old and I’ve been a Screen Addict ever since.



Ubongudofot
: How was soap opera like in your early age in life?

🔶Thescreenaddict : In my native country The Netherlands we had a show called “Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden” when I was young (it translates roughly to “Good Times, Bad Times” in English). There wasn’t much else to watch at the time (late Eighties, early Nineties), so we watched it religiously. The show still exists today.



Ubongudofot
: What does it takes to produce a movie for the public?

🔶Thescreenaddict : An idea that can be summed up in one or two lines. It should immediately and simultaneously engage, be understood and suspend disbelief.



Ubongudofot
: How about we run a collaboration on Steem TV, do you think we can create something like that in the Steemit blog mainly for entertainment and educational purposes?

🔶Thescreenaddict : Absolutely!



Ubongudofot
: What do you think can be done to encourage it?

🔶Thescreenaddict : I have a huge network on LinkedIn which I could engage.



Ubongudofot
: Who's blog do you like reading?

🔶Thescreenaddict : On Steemit? I like @soulfuldreamer, @theluvbug and @event-horizon.



Ubongudofot
: * If you were to feature a Gen-Z movie star , who would that be?*

🔶Thescreenaddict : Maybe Kylie Jenner, but it’s not really my generatio.



Ubongudofot
: How many movie stars have you worked with since the beginning of your carrier in the movie industry?

🔶Thescreenaddict : Dozens and dozens. Maybe 100+.



Ubongudofot
: Which top movie star do you ever feel proud and fulfill in working with in the movie industry?


With Keanu Reeves



With Arnold Schwarzenegger

🔶Thescreenaddict : Arnold Schwarzenegger and Keanu Reeves were by far the nicest and most interesting movie stars I’ve ever met and worked with.



Ubongudofot
: What do you believe is the most important quality to have as a producer?

🔶Thescreenaddict : A good instinct for great material (or a great instinct for good material).



Ubongudofot
: * If you had the power to change one thing in the world, what would that be?*

🔶Thescreenaddict : Ban all weapons, big and small. From knives to pistols to assault rifles to nuclear bombs - everything should be banned.



Ubongudofot
: Apart from movie production, what do you like doing in your leisure?

🔶Thescreenaddict : Read books, travel, play video games.



Ubongudofot
: Which sweet memory from your childhood will you never forget and what was it?

🔶Thescreenaddict : Again - seeing E.T. in the movie theater at five years old.



Ubongudofot
: Which user/users wil you like me to feature on my show?

🔶Thescreenaddict : I’d like to meet @theluvbug, @soulfuldreamer and @event-horizon in person.


Ubongudofot
: I think the @theluvbug is owned by @jaynie from South Africa, it would be interesting to have her on my show.



Ubongudofot
: What's your favourite music?

🔶Thescreenaddict : Dire Straits and lots of film scores. Love Hans Zimmer, Thomas Newman, Jerry Goldsmith etc.



Ubongudofot
: If you were to live with a pet forever, which pet would that be?

🔶Thescreenaddict : Definitely a cat.



Ubongudofot
: What message do you have for the Steemit team?

🔶Thescreenaddict : Bear with me, I’m trying to understand how this platform works!



Ubongudofot
: What can you say about the Interview Showcase?

🔶Thescreenaddict : Great initiative and I hope it blows up big!



Ubongudofot

An honor and great pleasure to be on your show, @ubongudofot!

Hi Robin, It was great to have you on my show today and to know more about your real life creativities. Hopefully we would have another show coming up soon.., thank you.

I meant to write a response earlier today and then I forgot it in the swarm of other pending replies.

You are not coming slow with these interviews. 2 years or what? It's easily one of my favourite initiative on Steemit.

@thescreenaddict - What a pleasant surprise!

Good to learn about the person behind phenomenal film content. I'm your regular reader now.

The Anarchists? Should I watch it? Is it good?

I see that @ubongodufot already stole you for Steem TV. That's great.

I have also been meaning to ask you for some advice regarding Steem's promotion on LinkedIn. Some other time maybe and only if you want to. We all try to contribute to the growth of this platform in our respective capacities.

I'm pleased to know that you like to read my blogs. (:

I had to cook somethings with him on Steem TV.., watch out for part 1 coming out soon...😀

Can't wait. 🙂

@event-horizon yeah, definitely check out The Anarchists if you have HBO. And regarding LinkedIn advice: for sure!
Have a great day.

Urgh! I don't have access to HBO.

Ah, that's a shame! Maybe you can watch at a friend's place?
