If you've been searching for a way to break into the entertainment business this may be your lucky day!

Recent big news here at CineSecrets was Nick's new partnership with Joe Stafura - C.O.O. of USWeb's Pittsburgh based Electronic Images Division.Nick & Joe have formed eTales Productions Ltd ... a company aimed at creating interactive Cyber drama. Their first production SEASONS IN THE SUN is expected to start shooting next year.

This collaboration brings together expertise in two crucial areas.... Nick's vast experience of movie making, a unique cost cutting approach to the production of entertainment and some highly creative concepts......... Joe's state of the art technological expertise and direct experience of managing large Internet entities. Joe's career to date has been less "high profile" than Nick's but a quick look at USWeb's client list (which includes Microsoft, NBC, Paramount Pictures, Silicon Graphics, Sony Music & Warner Brothers), provides an insight into the caliber of Joe's work. Nick & Joe will jointly Produce SEASONS IN THE SUN. Nick will Direct the Cyber drama which he devised with his wife Gloria. Joe will package the drama for the Internet and oversee Webcasting.

Nick plans to use many newcomers to the entertainment world on the eTales production crew, (under the guidence of seasoned professionals where necessary). They will be trained on the job according to Nick's philosophy of encouraging the development of young creative minds whilst devising new techniques for the production and presention of entertainment.

If you have a driving ambition to make entertainment, can totally dedicate yourself to the job in hand and would like us to know of your existance , enthusiasm and experience..... log in at the eTales Contacts Register. Do NOT email Nick or Joe or USWeb about this project. USWeb is NOT directly involved in the project at this time (although they may be consulted on certain aspects of post production and marketing at a later date. Nick & Joe are too busy to reply to individuals right now. The best thing you can do is leave full particulars on the register. IF YOU MUST.... email Ergo@CineSecrets.com
