“Features are for sissies,” says Tom Walsh, production designer for the TV series “Longmire.” “I think that’s what the T-Shirt should say, because television requires a combination of stamina and humor.”

Actor Daniel Williams
posted by Charlotte Martinez
Actor Daniel Williams fits the cowboy type, the outdoorsy type, the “old creepy man” type and the professor type. He has swaggered about in “Longmire’s” Red Pony Solon, taken advice from Morgan Freeman in Transcendence (opening April 18, 2014), and even stepped into the sandals of Apollo and the boots of a Neverland pirate. He’s a retired air force officer, martial artist, teacher and New Mexico traveling man who puts family first, his acting career second, his photography career third, and never misses an opportunity to work with students— especially those here at SFUAD’s Film School.

Short Story Genius
posted by Charlotte Martinez
On Feb. 12, Lannan Foundation hosted a reading at The Lensic Performing Arts Center with short story author and “genius grant” winner George Saunders (Tenth of December, CivilWarLand in Bad Decline and Pastoralia) followed by a Q&A, conducted New York Times Deputy Editor Joel Lovell. With animated voice and comedic timing, Saunders’ reading of “Victory Lap” demonstrated his quirky yet humanizing styles, while the conversation that followed brought out the perks and surprises of the author’s past. “I think is was one of the best Lannan evenings that I’ve seen,” says Creative Writing Department Co-Chair Matt Donovan. “The conversations in those types of events aren’t always focused on elements of craft and I really appreciated the ways in which they made it accessible.” Rather than didactic responses, for example, Saunders provided Lovell, who is a previous acquaintance, with entertaining and lax conversation. Donovan describes also an appreciation of the writer’s reading performance. A talented use of vocals, especially when changing from the POV of a little girl practicing ballet to a middle aged raper, kept the audience members on the edge of their seats, while Saunders’ witty pacing took the edge off of an otherwise dark story. Laugh. Gape. Laugh more. Stare in utter shock. Laugh. “He was entertaining, he was funny, he was poignant and he called me a badass,” says R.A. Ademulegun, Creative Writing student, who waited for Saunders’ autograph after the reading. “He gave me great pointers. You know, ‘a table is a table,’” Ademulegun says, quoting Saunders from his Q&A when he expressed an impatience for flowery language. “We’re always trying to impress people with our work,” Ademulegun concludes. “Our readers are just ordinary people.” Following the reading, Lovell, who wrote a cover story on Tenth of December for The New York Times,...
