Director's Notes

We're branching out! This month's masterclass features veteran game designer Jonathan Hamel AB '91 (Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider). Looking at game design through three lenses—mechanics, dynamics, and aesthetics—we'll learn strategies to make gameplay more fun, as taught by one of the pioneers of MDA. RSVP here!

At the end of this month, I'm psyched to be back in Boston/Cambridge for the 25th Anniversary of ArtsFIRST weekend. Harvardwood is organizing an informal ArtsFIRST meet-and-greet at John Harvard's in the Square on Friday, April 28th, and I hope to see/meet many College students and alums who are in town for the festivities!

Exclusive Q&A with Photographer & Documentarian Lauren Greenfield AB '87 (Generation Wealth, The Queen of Versailles)

by Terence O'Toole Murnin

On the eve of publishing Generation Wealth, the highly anticipated book and accompanying mid-career retrospective exhibition from acclaimed photographer and documentary filmmaker Lauren Greenfield AB '87, Harvardwood zooms in close for the inside scoop.

Q. What can you tell us about Generation Wealth?

A. The book will be released on May 15, and its creation has really dominated the last eight years of my life. It’s certainly a document of our consumerism, and how we exported these values, especially after the financial crash of 2008. I traveled the world—from California, to Iceland and Dubai—and on to China where in a post-communist era, I witnessed a mad dash for wealth and luxury.

This clash of values where everyone now desires to be a part of the aristocracy also led to gender and body issues. Girls are commodified and the “Princess Myth” has led to an acceptance of prostitution as a way to obtain money and success. Brooke Taylor and the acceptance of high-end brothels as potential career tracks are signs of a cultural shift where fame is now a value.

Unfortunately, being “rich and famous” is really not a job as many kids have indicated as their career preference in recent surveys, and it often leads to depression. Aspirations to wealth is an addiction with no satisfaction—and it’s unsustainable both morally and in our communities worldwide. I think my role in this book has been to connect the dots and look at things that we no longer even see.

Q. And did the accompanying exhibition grow out of the book?

A. The cool thing about the exhibition at the Annenberg Space for Photography opening on April 8 is that the space was guaranteed before the book came out. It’s truly an amazing space that will house my solo show, capturing in multi-media my journey from using my camera and Kodachrome slide film, to incorporating a recorder and ultimately, beginning in 2004, creating documentary films.

The stories are told in sections with very large prints—some 180 of them—and voices and storytelling utilizing big monitors and short films play an important role in the exhibit.

Q. Is Trump in the White House the ultimate expression of Generation Wealth?

A. It’s uncanny, and I was as surprised as many people were on election eve when the results were announced. Trump is the apotheosis of what I’ve been documenting for the past 25 years. I think we’ve really seen fictional characters like Gordon Gekko become the anti-heroes to real-life characters like Donald Trump and it’s really an expression of our moral values that in a short space of time, we’ve gone from American values such as thrift and frugality to an age of bling and narcissism.

Even Trump’s aesthetic preferences are foretelling—a taste for gold and columns, and a man who owns beauty pageants is a precursor to the commodification and glorification of women. And much like David Siegel who I documented in Queen of Versailles, Trump’s continuing narrative is certainly tied to the central position that real estate booms (and busts like in 2008) play in our country...

Alumni Profile: Monica Beletsky AB '99 (Writer & Producer, Fargo, Parenthood)

By Sara Lynne Wright

Growing up with an African American dad and a Jewish mom in a diverse neighborhood of Philadelphia, Monica Beletsky AB ‘99 cultivated the empathy she now uses as a TV writer to step into different characters’ points of view. “People who are different from me aren’t just an abstract idea. I was lucky to grow up in a unique neighborhood of ethnic, religious and economic diversity.”

This multiplicity of viewpoints is reflected in the wide range of shows on which she’s been a writer-producer, including Parenthood, Friday Night Lights, The Leftovers, and Fargo. 

“The decade before my parents moved to Philadelphia, Black people and Jewish people were being prohibited from getting mortgages. But there were these special twin sister realtors in my neighborhood, West Mount Airy, who found a way to get mortgages for would-be homeowners who were discriminated against.” So by the time Monica was born, her parents’ neighborhood consisted of African-Americans, Jews, Protestants, Catholics, Muslims, Hindus, interracial and (later) gay families who were all homeowners or renters in the same neighborhood.

“We lived on my parents' modest teacher and artist salaries, but I lived around the corner from what you’d consider mansions. I also lived around the corner from single moms who lived in apartments. I went to a magnet public school that drew a lot of the best students from around the city. My classmates were 60% black, 50% eligible for school lunch and achieving the top scores in the state. After school and on weekends, I'd go to Hebrew school with wealthy, white suburban kids. Our teachers were mostly lesbians studying to be rabbis. In some ways, where I grew up is so unique that it's a bubble, but in other ways it exposed me to a wonderful variety of people.

"Those personal connections make it impossible for me to see negative images on TV or in movies and believe that those images or characterizations represent a group. I wish that for everyone. And I'm doing what I can so that there are more three-dimensional representations of women and minorities on TV. I believe strongly that the lack of protagonists who are women, people of color, undereducated and/or working class has detrimentally affected our culture. Roger Ebert said the movies are 'an empathy machine.' So TV writers need to understand that it matters who we root for, who we understand and whose shoes we're able to put ourselves in. For pocket money, I babysat for over twenty different families from ages twelve to eighteen. I think those experiences helped me write about different family dynamics and individual characters. Friday Night Lights and Parenthood were both, to a certain extent, about surrogate parenting.”  

In Philly, Monica’s dad had a woodworking shop in a neighborhood besieged by crack. He would hire and mentor neighborhood teen boys. Her mom started a tutoring program for the basketball team at the inner city high school where she taught for 30 years. “My parents are a lot like Coach and Tami. They mentored many young men and women over the years. On Mother's Day, my mom's phone rings off the hook.”

At Harvard, Monica continued to delve into others’ experiences by diving into the theatre scene, co-founding the Hyperion Shakespeare Company under the mentorship of Professor Jennifer Carrell. Eric Engel of Memorial Hall was another significant source of influence and support. “I had a couple work study jobs; one was working in Sanders Theatre, booking acts for the café, everything from spoken word to singer-songwriters and comedy. Senior year, we produced Hamlet in Sanders Theatre with Shakespeare & Co. directing our Hyperion ensemble. It was gratifying to say goodbye to Harvard that way, with a company we created from scratch freshman year.”

After getting a grant to study acting Shakespeare at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and graduating from Harvard, Monica assisted some of New York's top theatre directors and playwrights. “I was exposed to an incredible community of the American theatre, first during a year-long internship at McCarter Theatre in Princeton, where I was mentored by the brilliant playwright/director Emily Mann AB '74, a fellow Harvard alum. Many of the artists I got to work with were about to win Pulitzer Prizes, including Lynn Nottage, Doug Wright & Nilo Cruz.” She directed an all-male production of Romeo and Juliet at the Theatre Royale in Scotland and got fellowships from Second Stage, the Roundabout and New York Theatre Workshop before making the decision to switch gears from directing to writing.

“It’s hard not to absorb story, character and structure when your job is listening closely to plays over and over again.”

Eventually, Monica says, “I loved directing, but I started to want to write my own scripts—so I didn’t have to wait to fall in love with a play to get to work. I also had the desire to reach a wide audience who didn't necessarily have a lot of money.”

To make ends meet after moving to LA, Monica got two jobs, one as a personal assistant for a computer programmer and one conducting research for the Annenberg Foundation. She reached out to Harvardwood members and was invited to have coffee, ask questions about being a TV writer, and tour TV offices.

In the two years it took for her to land a job in TV, Monica honed her writing. “I basically buckled down and had no life. All I did in my spare time was watch TV, write and rewrite.” She often describes this time to people she mentors, because she believes it was crucial. “Many writers early in their careers will be so excited to have a draft of a script, they’ll go through it once or twice, polish it, and then think they’re done. But there are very few people who are first draft writers like that. One of my own mentors, American Repertory Theatre alumnus Deborah Cahn A.R.T. '98 (The West Wing, Grey's Anatomy) would tell me to remember readers each have a huge stack of scripts on their desks, and a lot of people can write a B+ or a B script. That’s most of the stack. To write a script ‘you can bounce a quarter off,’ to be in that small percent at the top, you have to really work at it. At the time, I was panicking a little. My resume was all theatre and—since I wasn't doing theatre—that experience seemed useless. Meanwhile, my friends were getting medical degrees, practicing law. It clicked that if I wanted to be a screenwriter, that I'd need to commit to practicing and learning with the same commitment as that of my medical school friends working their asses off in residency.” 

Eventually, she saw a Harvardwood job posting for a writers’ assistant position on “a hit ABC show.” She had a hunch that show was Lost, her favorite show at the time. She was right.

“At the meeting, Damon [Lindelof] and Carlton [Cuse AB '81] told me it was between me and another candidate who had been in the FBI. So I figured I'd never land the gig. But then they revealed the other candidate was extremely loyal to the FBI privacy agreement and wouldn't tell them anything about what it's like to be in the FBI. Wherever that guy is now, I'm grateful for his patriotism. Without it, I wouldn't have gotten the job.”

It proved to be an invaluable experience. “Being in the Lost writers room for all of season four was like my graduate school or residency.” She’s been working on character-driven dramas since 2007. Monica honed her flexibility as a writer with two female British writer friends, Deborah Frances-White and Philippa Waller, with whom she wrote features with in her twenties while doing theatre in London.

“They taught me an improv mantra: ‘Trust your obvious.’ In a workshop, they taught an exercise where we each had to come up with a sentence about a lighthouse. We went around the room, and everyone had such a different reference point for this one object. That taught me that ideas that are obvious to me might not be obvious to other people. I use that knowledge every day in a writers’ room coming up with ideas and pitches.

"I remember years ago in the Parenthood room, when we were arguing in circles about whether a character was going to be a working mom or a stay-at-home mom or another kind of mom. Jason [Katims] finally said something like, ‘Eight writers are never going to agree on what a mom is.’ And that’s so true. An improv sensibility gives writers a sense of play, a willingness to let go and try again, that is important to embrace in a writers' room and when taking notes from producers and executives. One of the traits that makes you vital on staff is being able to adapt yourself to a showrunner’s instincts. Developing your own material and figuring out who you are, what your own voice is—that’s a different skill and takes a different kind of courage.”

Monica is currently developing a limited series pilot with FX. Watch for Monica’s work on the third season of Fargo on FX when it premieres on April 19, 2017.

Sara Lynne Wright writes, acts and produces in Los Angeles and Seattle.

Program Spotlight: Harvardwood Seminars & Salons

The Harvardwood Seminars and Salons are some of the best opportunities for people of all career levels to learn from those a little more experienced. Generally small, intimate events, often centered around a meal, they allow for all guests to ask questions, get answers, and share anecdotes with the best and the brightest in the industry. Get to know your idols, as well as some peers interested in the same things—whether it's producing, acting, writing, or anything else—check out the next Harvardwood salon and give it a shot!

More about Daniel Gale-Rosen and Mark Wooster, Directors of Harvardwood Salons & Seminars:

Transplanted from the Boston area, Daniel has somehow managed to adapt (mostly) to the Californian climate of warm weather and, you know, being nice to other people. He currently works in digital marketing, telling people how to use Facebook, and gets his creative fix by participating in writers' groups, which was his real introduction into the Harvardwood community. He's usually working on a few writing projects at once, mostly based on source materials that were written a while ago and are thankfully in the public domain so no one can sue him. Also, he eats brunch a lot. He graduated from Harvard College in 2010 with a degree in History and Science, mainly because he couldn't decide.

Mark Wooster is a graduate of Harvard Law School and has practiced law way too long, including 10 years as head of litigation for Universal Studios. He also teaches legal Continuing Legal Education courses in a comedy format, and has written a novel and some screenplays that you will see some day.
