Marla and Angela Gibbs, recorded Aug. 01, 2009

The following conversation with Marla and Angela Gibbs was recorded Saturday, August 1, over brunch at the Brasserie Jo Restaurant. We definitely talked about making films and television shows and Marla's old television buddies such as Sherman Hemsley, whom she rejoices to point out, continues to be one of her best friends.

But the conversation also turned on such topics as the meaning of a Black President, the evolution of the African-American role in arts and culture, and thoughts on what a true colorblind society would look like.

OMB started out by asking Marla Gibbs to describe some of her most important memories.

Television Show Destined for New Media Distribution “Shoots” in Boston
(reposted from Open Media Boston dot org - 9/21/08)

Recently, Open Media Boston received a press release which piqued our curiosity. A brand new television drama, to be distributed across a variety of new media formats including digital television, broadband internet, and cell phones, has started principal filming here in Boston.

According to the release – sent by filmmaker, producer, and part time Emerson College faculty member Ashley Triffletti - the pilot is called “Life Without Green,” described as “a political drama about a young Jewish women’s struggle to keep her unraveling life together after her fiancé vanishes in a haze of suspicion.”

In the pilot, Rachel Singer (played by New York City based actress and Executive Producer Abby Phon) has just been appointed director of the fictional Office for Economic and Environmental Innovation (by the way, a much more interesting name than the city’s for real Environment Department). Just prior to the agency’s launch, Rachel’s fiancé Benjamin Green disappears without warning. According to the producers, the search for Green leads to the gambling casinos of Las Vegas and back to Boston. Undoubtedly, the show’s creators hope to explore the multifarious facets of political and environmental deal making in the city, where politics is the closest thing we have to blood sport around here.

On Thursday, September 18, Open Media Boston Publisher and Editor Jason Pramas and News Editor David Goodman discussed the new project with Triffletti, Phon, and Director Ishai Setton. Boston-based writer and creator Adam Roberts was unable to attend the interview, recorded at the studios of radio station WMBR in Cambridge.
