6:32 pm - Robert Liano - Producer and Co-director of "A Broad Way"
Robert Liano of Saul Goode Entertainment has been producing content in the entertainment business for nearly 20 years. His unique vision and creativity has been showcased in Television, Film and the Web. He has earned credits on ABC, CBS, ESPN and won an Emmy Award for his contribution to NBC's coverage of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games.
After 10 rewarding years in the high adrenaline world of live sports production, he broke away to team up with his brother on the independent Documentary film Barberland which chronicled the vanishing traditional American Barber. It was the wisdom and independence of the barbers in the film that inspired Liano to start Saul Goode Entertainment.
Saul Goode Entertainment's first production is the ground-breaking, massively collaborative documentary film, A Broad Way coming to film festivals in 2007. A Broad Way documents one hour on the famous Broadway, New York, NY and is a rare example of democratic filmmaking. More than 220 amateur shooters brought their own handheld cameras and were assigned to document one Manhattan Broadway block for one hour. The amateur filmmakers were joined by a professional crew shooting with Panasonic's Varicam and DVCPRO 50 equipment.
The ultimate goal was to capture the sights and sounds of Broadway from Battery Park to Upper Manhattan. While A Broad Way is slated for theatrical release, more than 300 hours of footage will ultimately be posted online for access by participants and the public.
