Here’s a short film I produced, looking at the historical context of Emil and the Detectives and featuring some very interesting interviews.
Playwright Carl Miller and children’s authors Philip Pullman and Michael Rosen reflect on Erich Kästner and the historical context in which Emil and the Detectives was created and published, in the midst of great cultural and political change in Germany.
Here’s something I produced (filmed by Tim Marrinan and edited by Chloe White), a film celebrating Erich Kästner’s Emil and the Detective - the story, the characters, Berlin - and looks at the upcoming National Theatre production featuring interviews with Sally Gardner, Gillian Lathey, Carl Miller, Philip Pulman and Michael Rosen.

The Russian Government recently shut down all theatrical performances, deeming them to be homosexual propaganda. Outraged, Russian Broadway came together and decided to respond in a witty performance. In the video below they discuss issues of love and sexuality, as well as social constraints and stereotypes.
The performance was directed by John Walton West and composed by JasonMichael Snow. The cast included a wide array of stars, including Jennifer Barnhart,Laura Benanti, Chirstina Bianco, Stephanie J. Block,Danny Burstein,Michael Cerveris,Joanna Gleason,Christine Pedi,Michael Rosen,Stephen Schwartz, and many more.
