Noshing With Shane Stanley – February 10, 2022

Emmy Award-winning Filmmaker and Author of What You Don't Learn in Film School

This week, Ira spoke with Shane Stanley, multi Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and author of "What You Don't Learn in Film School.” In this filmic episode of Ira’s Everything Bagel, Shane talks about growing up in Hollywood; why he chose to become an independent filmmaker; his niche in raising capital for productions and respecting his investors; his open door policy with other filmmakers; why he wrote the book on filmmaking; how relationships are everything in the business and in life; being of Hollywood and yet not in Hollywood, as long as you can deliver content; film vs. digital production; where the power of studios come from today; and the films he’s completing right now: “Night Train,” “Double Threat,” and “Break Even.”

At sixteen years old, Shane Stanley had already received his first Emmy Award for his work on “Desperate Passage,” which starred Michael Landon. Over the next few years he learned filmmaking under his father, Lee Stanley, on what became known as “The Desperate Passage” Series (1988 to 1995) starring Sharon Gless, Edward James Olmos, Marlo Thomas and Louis Gossett Jr.. The self-produced series earned a total of thirty-three Emmy nominations, (winning thirteen) as well as numerous Christopher Awards and CINE Golden Eagles. In 1994, the Stanley’s feature film, “Street Pirates” was a two-time winner of the CINE Golden Eagle Award for best feature documentary and film editing.

In 2001, Shane launched Visual Arts Entertainment, his own production company, most notably credited with “Gridiron Gang,” starring Dwayne Johnson & Xzibit as well as the critically acclaimed independent film, “A Sight for Sore Eyes,” with Academy Award nominee, Gary Busey. The film, (produced for under $10,000) marked Shane's directorial debut and went on to win the Gold Special Jury Award at Worldfest Houston, Best Dramatic Short Film at the International Family Film Festival, a Telly Award for Outstanding Achievement in Film and Television as well as two Aurora Awards for writing & directing. The film was also invited to Cannes to compete in the annual international film festival.

BAGEL BYTES

“Ira’s Everything Bagel” is also available on Alexa, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pocket Casts, SoundCloud, Spotify, Stitcher Radio, Tunein Radio, and Vurbl.

“Bagels are the only bread that are boiled before baked. Once the bagel dough is shaped into a circle, they are dipped in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. After that, they are drained and baked for about 10 minutes.”

Bagels have been to space! “It’s safe to say that the treats from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal are out of this world. In 2008, Astronaut Greg Chamitoff boarded Discovery for a 14-day flight into space. Accompanying him? Eighteen bagels from Fairmount, a shop owned by his aunt.”

“The word Bagel comes from the German word “bougel,” meaning “bracelet,” and by way of the Yiddish “beygl” which means “ring.” So, if it is not in the shape of a ring or bracelet, it is NOT a bagel.”

“What sets bagels apart from other types of bread is the fact that they are boiled. Some imitations are steamed, but they do not have the same chewy and crunchy crust and are not true bagels.”

“The first beugel bakeries were founded in New York City in the 1920s. Later the name was changed and called a bagel.”

“The hole in the middle of your bagel is no mistake. In fact, this bread was baked with a hole so vendors could slide them on to dowel rods, making it easy to transport them to wherever they would be selling their bagel that day.”

“Bagels are the only bread that are boiled before they are baked.”

World Champion Competitive Eater Joey Chestnut won Siegel’s Bagelmania Bagel Eating Competition in Las Vegas January 13, winning the title, a championship belt and $5,000 of the total $10,000 prize pool.
