we're doing something different
meeting the creators and producers
Posted Wed, 06/04/2008 - 08:27 — GreekHiya!!! Today's webisode is especially exciting for me because I got to meet some of the producers and creators of 'Greek' -- Shawn Piller, Sean Smith, and Carter Covington. We talked about Mt. Vesuvius, and they all had their stories mixed up! In case you forgot, Vesuvius was the beer-spouting volcano the Kappa Taus bring out for parties. It was so funny: Carter and Shawn both claimed they created it, but Sean told me he was BORN on Mt. Vesuvius. Like, in Italy?! I couldn't keep a straight face, 'cause I'd heard that all three of them actually created it. But of course, being boys, they all wanted the credit.
I ran into Shawn at Coachella this year ... that's the massive music event out in the desert. We're both into MGMT -- a really fun band from Brooklyn. We have a lot of other music in common too, like Radiohead, Broken Social Scene, Midlake, Albert Hammond Jr., Bloc Party, A.A. Bondy, Tokyo Police Club .... I bet Shawn even listens to Hilary Duff. (She's incredible
)
Last week, Sean ruined my game of running charades. It was really funny. In running charades, you have go through a list on a team before the other team finishes it first. Sean gave us the same list, but different things off of it!! He felt so bad about it, but it wasn't a big deal. I think I finally convinced him it's OK
And I just can't stop laughing when I'm around Carter. They're all just the funniest guys, and they really put their hearts and souls into this project. They take their own college experiences and work them into the storylines on 'Greek.' I didn't go to college, but I really GET the college life from the show. I graduated from New York Film Academy, and I directed a bunch of shorts.
Then, when I was talking with the cast, I found that they're a lot like the writers -- they all hang out together, share stories, and overall respect each other. There's no weird hierarchy on this show, which is amazing. I'm so glad I got to spend the day with them, and I really got to learn the ins and outs of this business! Stay tuned for more, guys ... should be fun!! Xxxx Alanna
