Q & A with Cameron Porsandeh, KSG '04 - Creator / Co-Executive Producer of SyFy's HELIX
by Sara Lynne Wright
Where did the idea for HELIX come from? Do you write what you know?
I do write what I know, but more often it simply serves as the launching point for the story. I was in the Arctic Circle years ago and two things struck me:
It seemed like the closest to being on the moon that you can be on earth. It was stunning. The landscape was barren and haunting, and I thought someone should do a show set there.
The kinds of people who would choose to live there are equally compelling. Werner Herzog did a documentary called ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE EARTH about the kind of people who would inhabit a place like the base on HELIX. I wanted to do a show that took place in the Arctic Circle filled with people on the fringes of society who have found another community among themselves.
Are there any themes in HELIX that are especially personal to you?
I was in an elevator and a girl I had dated years before got on with her new boyfriend. It was the longest elevator ride of my life. So I thought about how to translate this emotional experience into a TV show.
In HELIX our lead flies up there with his estranged ex-wife to meet his infected brother, who had slept with the ex-wife years before causing the divorce in the first place. I wanted to take a slightly nontraditional love triangle and put it in a pressure cooker. They’re in an Arctic base, the world’s falling apart for thirteen days, and all hell is breaking loose. I wanted to create the most messed up family reunion ever, but more importantly a love triangle in a way we hadn’t seen before.
Is there any advice you would give to people who want to do what you do?
Not really. I feel like most of people I work with took radically different paths to get to where they are and it’s sometimes hard to find meaningful common threads. HELIX began as a tough sell –- the premise, and mythology, was just so peculiar. The first piece I’d optioned off was a cop procedural, so there was a certain push do another one. HELIX required me taking two months off of everything else, reading a pile of library books on my own, and then just taking a chance and writing the thing. So all I can really say is if you have an idea you think is the coolest thing ever, just write it. Most likely nothing will come of it, but if it happened for me, there’s no reason it couldn’t happen for anyone else.
What location do you use for the Arctic Circle, and was it a challenge?
Shooting in Montreal was definitely a challenge. Our writers room was in Los Angeles, so we couldn’t walk across the lot and talk to the crew or the actors. They were in a different time zone in a different country – often shooting would begin at 4am our time. A lot of the interaction with the cast was phone calls while driving to work. It’s not a challenge unique to our show, but it’s certainly a big one, especially in the first season. But once you know the actors and they know their characters better and better, it gets easier. We have a great cast.
You’ve had tons of experiences outside Hollywood. What was the moment you decided to move into entertainment?
If I had to point to one moment, it was in Ethiopia. There was a kid watching WILL AND GRACE. This kid was gay in a community where that wasn’t tolerated. And I thought, there are lots of ways to make the world a better place: Building infrastructure in developing countries, economics, politics, being a doctor…and all those ways are important. But another way is to just let people know they are connected to a bigger world. TV does that. I had spent so much of my life up until then trying to be a good "citizen” or whatever you want to call it, but at that moment it occurred to me that entertaining people is a good way to contribute too. Watching him watch that show, I thought, "I want to do that."
What was the first thing you sold?
It was that cop procedural, but the real story was rooted in a couple who couldn’t afford to leave each other because their home had fallen in value. So it was two people trying to move on with their lives, but stuck living in the same house. I loved it. Ultimately, it didn’t move forward, so next I wanted to do something radically different. That’s what HELIX was.
Anything you want people to know about before the show starts?
The story is meant to be a sort of unpredictable joyride, a rollercoaster. But by the end of the first season one thing that was really important to me is that we answer the questions we raised at the beginning. Some of my favorite shows in the past didn’t do that, which was frustrating to me at the time. So we will get answers at the end of the first season that should catapult us into season two, while also playing with some larger philosophical issues including about what it means to human in a rapidly changing world. Science fiction gives us the license to talk about some pretty unusual stuff on tv, and we try to take advantage of that.

Member Profile: Damien Chazelle '07-'08 - Writer-Director of WHIPLASH, premiering opening night
at Sundance
by D. Dona Le
This month, writer-director Damien Chazelle ‘07-‘08 opens the Sundance Film Festival with his feature film WHIPLASH.
Not to mention that before hitting his ten-year college reunion, Chazelle has already sold three screenplays, and his directorial debut, GUY AND MADELINE ON A PARK BENCH (2009), won multiple film awards and was named one of the best films of the year byThe New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Village Voice, and more.
"Ever since I was a little kid, I knew that I wanted to make movies," says Chazelle. Instead of choosing film school for college, he opted to attend Harvard College, where he expected to concentrate in English or a similar field. Then, he discovered Visual & Environmental Sciences.
"The VES Department wound up being a great resource for me. It certainly enabled me to make my first film and also to meet a lot of my future collaborators, such as Jasmine (McGlade Chazelle AB ‘07) and Justin Hurwitz (AB ‘07)."
Jasmine McGlade Chazelle, an alum of the Harvardwood 101 program, is also a director, producer, and writer (MARIA MY LOVE, 2011). Though they have not collaborated since she was a producer of GUY & MADELINE ON A PARK BENCH, the Chazelles continue to be the first readers of each other’s writing.
GUY & MADELINE ON A PARK BENCH was originally conceived as Damien’s senior thesis at Harvard. He wrote the lyrics for the American jazz featured in the musical film, and the score was composed by long-time friend and collaborator Hurwitz.
Upon its release in 2009, the film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, AFI Los Angeles, the Torino Film Festival, and the Chicago International Movies & Music Festival, among numerous other international festivals. The film’s positive reception by critics provided a strong foundation for Chazelle's career in entertainment, as he began selling scripts and obtaining regular work as a screenwriter.
Before making GUY & MADELINE ON A PARK BENCH, Chazelle had supported himself by tutoring and other freelance work.
"The plan [after graduation] was to make films. It was just a matter of getting into a position where you can make what you want to make. It’s always more difficult than it should be."
The next script he wrote was GRAND PIANO, which was directed by Eugenio Mira and is slated for limited release in the United States in March 2014. GRAND PIANO, featuring Elijah Wood and John Cusack, is an intense thriller about a concert pianist who becomes the target of an assassin during his comeback performance.
Another spec thriller by Chazelle, THE CLAIM, was featured on the 2010 Black List and has since been acquired by Route One.
Though Chazelle boasts a writing portfolio that most up-and-coming screenwriters would covet, he views his writing projects differently.
After finishing GUY & MADELINE ON A PARK BENCH, Chazelle explains matter-of-factly, "I needed to make some money, so I wrote something commercial, the kind of movie that I liked to watch as a kid—a straight-edge thriller. That began the writing-for-hire career that I’ve always separated very much from the directing."
This is in stark contrast to Chazelle’s film WHIPLASH, which—like GUY & MADELINE ON A PARK BENCH—he wrote and directed.
"Any directing I do, I want [the work] to be personal, to be a certain kind of film. But when it comes to the writing, it was either going to be that or working at Starbucks. With writing, at least you get to do some version of what you like to do."
The first draft of WHIPLASH was completed in 2011, when Chazelle was "dealing with memories of certain experiences, but had never really thought about dramatizing them. Then one day, it occurred to me that I could and should do that, so I did."
Those experiences occurred during Chazelle’s high school years, when music and jazz drumming became much more than just a hobby.
"I had a teacher-conductor in high school who was very charismatic, inspiring, and also very terrifying. He compelled me to practice like there was no tomorrow. Basically, that became my life for a while."
WHIPLASH follows a young jazz drummer who attends a prestigious conservatory, where he struggles under the tutelage of an unforgiving music teacher, played by J.K. Simmons.
Chazelle hastens to clarify that his real-life music teacher, who passed away shortly after he graduated from high school, did not resemble at all Simmons’s sadistic character in WHIPLASH.
Rather, the inspiration for the film came from Chazelle’s experience "as an impressionable young musician overwhelmed by this larger-than-life teacher, from the teacher-student relationship of yearning for someone’s approval—of being simultaneously scared by and inspired by someone, and having this mix of feelings where you hate feeling so anxious and terrified, and yet, you become a better musician than you ever would have without it."
WHIPLASH made the 2012 Black List, and then Chazelle condensed the feature-length script into an 18-minute short to serve as a "proof of concept” to pitch the feature to investors and financiers. This short version of WHIPLASH was adapted from a 20-minute scene from the middle of the script that takes place in one room.
"We had to make a few adjustments, but not much; you got an idea of the world. It’s not quite a full story, in the sense that I would hope the feature is, but it didn’t really need to be jiggered too much to stand on its own."
Doing more than simply standing on its own, the short version of WHIPLASH won the Short Film Jury Prize for U.S. Fiction at last year’s Sundance Film Festival. With the support of Jason Reitman, the feature version of WHIPLASH was developed by Right of Way Films, Bold Films, Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions, and producer Nicholas Britell, among others.
Chazelle spent the summer of 2013 directing the feature-length version of WHIPLASH, and at the time of this interview, he was preparing it to open Sundance on January 16th as an entry in the U.S. Dramatic Competition. This is Chazelle’s favorite part of the filmmaking process—being in the editing room.
"The editing room is where I feel the most at ease," says Chazelle. "The whole filmmaking process has its pros and cons. Writing has those momentary thrills where you hit on something that you’re proud of or get a rhythm going, but I have a hard time losing myself in the writing. I definitely prefer directing to writing, but I can really lose myself in the making."
Chazelle’s preference may even be rooted in his musical background as a jazz drummer.
"Editing is the most rhythmic part of filmmaking, where the process becomes about tempo and timing. I intuitively respond to that."
But there’s a more unsettling parallel Chazelle finds between music-making and filmmaking: stage fright.
"I certainly feel a lot of performance anxiety, whether I’m stepping onto the set or, even more so, screening something I’ve done. It’s more terrifying than anything on set. Every time I’m at a screening, I feel like I’m back in the jazz outfit as a drummer, about to go onstage."
At opening night of Sundance, Chazelle may feel as nervous as his protagonist, but expect audience members and critics to be blown away by his performance as director/writer of WHIPLASH.
In addition to serving as Harvardwood's Coordinator, D. Dona Le '05 is a small business owner and freelance writer based out of Los Angeles.

***NY - Harvardwood presents: Diner Chez Docteur Benjamin Franklin, Thurs., Jan. 9***
Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to have dinner with Benjamin Franklin in Paris during the American Revolution? Here's a unique opportunity, through the magic of food, to travel back in time, to the Paris of the 1770s. Harvard University's distinguished James Duncan Phillips Professor of Early American History Joyce Chaplin has a special interest in the history of food, and, specifically for this event, she has researched Franklin and Parisian menus of the period to recreate the sort of menu Benjamin Franklin would have served to an honored dinner guest during his Paris years. This is not today's French cuisine, but the distinctively different French cuisine of almost 250 years ago, researched by Professor Chaplin, brilliantly recreated by the DTA's wonderful Chef Anthony LoCastro, and served with French wines selected to complement the menu.

Although filmmakers license most music, film clips, or art for use in their projects, they can make fair use more often than they would know. In this workshop, we will dive into the practical applications of fair use, the DMCA exemptions that allow documentary filmmakers to obtain footage from DVDs and online media, and go through the tests used in making a fair use evaluation...
