Sam's Dog Tips



On the Leesh has been working with experienced dog trainer Sam Schmidt on dog training podcasts. This week, we shot three videos for Sam that will help viewers who'd like to get a dog, who would like to learn how to deal with a teething puppy and who need to teach their dog how to stay. Sam is an easygoing, patient trainer that works with dogs with all sorts of issues.



Although Sam was extremely easy and fun to work with, Alicia, Jess and I did have some difficulty concentrating due to the incredibly adorable dogs. How in the world are you supposed to focus when you have a 4 month old puppy running around? The dogs were too cute for words and also happened to be incredibly professional. While their cuteness may have had nothing to do with Sam, their happy nature and the fact that they were incredibly well-behaved should certainly be attributed to her talent as a trainer.



We look forward to meeting more of Sam's clients during our next round of shooting!



Meanwhile, the first three episodes should be available in early 2009.

Thanks Sam!

On the Leesh Embarks on Two More Short Films



On the Leesh Productions is currently in pre-production on two more comedic short films. The first called, Milestone is a short comedy about what a woman's friends will do to help her through a divorce. The second is currently titled Pet Peeve - a short story about personal growth through dating.

Both shorts will be read tomorrow night at the office as part of an internal invited workshop/reading.

Milestone is not yet cast, but is currently slated to shoot in February in Brooklyn, NY. Pet Peeve is still in its gestation period, so location, cast and crew have not been set yet.

OTL does love short film!

Get 'em in, make 'em laugh, get 'em out!

Go See Blue Before Morning

We admit that we're biased about terraNOVA Collective since we've worked with them a number of times before but, regardless of that fact, we'd recommend Blue Before Morning anyway! Playing at the DR2 Theatre, this is a well-written, well-performed show. Go out and support this Off-Off Broadway play. For more information, go to: www.terranovacollective.org
