There's Facebook, there's Twitter and there's Google-Plus, the so-called epicenter of social networking. But is that where networking ends? No ... it's just the beginning. Theatrics, the creators of what they call the first mass participation television program, have launched a popular online science-fiction series called "Beckinfield." It's set in a small town where mysteries abound, and it already has a cast of thousands -- literally. And you can be a part of it, too. As he was first developing the idea, Bob Gebert -- a co-founder and vice president of creative for "Beckinfield," said the idea was to produce something that aspiring actors could be a part of from the comfort of their own home. "I said, what if we take all this and put it under one umbrella and create a small town. ...

I first met Casting Director Scott David at a workshop a couple of years ago. I had heard so many good things about him and his class that when I got the chance, I signed up immediately. In the class, we came in with a prepared monologue, he handed out scenes – long ones – and then improv. It was a really fun time and one of the best workshops I’ve attended.
Scott has been casting since 1996. He’s currently casting CBS’s Criminal Minds but he also casts for film, theater and web-series. In 2010, he was awarded the Heller Award for Favorite Television Casting Director from the Talent Managers Association.
He’s recently joined up with Beckinfield, the sci-fi mystery website where you can create and play a character, collaborate with others and showcase yourself as an actor. Each month, Scott watches the actor’s videos, chooses his favorites and gives comments on their performances.

What do you get when you mix “Twelve Monkeys” with “Four Weddings and a Funeral”? If you are a director without a budget and you liked the structure of “Memento” you might end up with something like Bob Gebert’s “11 Minutes Ago”.
His film is a romantic comedy with a time travel twist, which shows the blossoming love between two people who meet each other in a series of eleven-minute-long segments. The order of these segments differs for each of them yet this doesn’t hinder the development of their relationship.
In fact, this accelerates it…
Shot chronologically and in a single day but shown out-of-order through the eyes of a time traveler, “11 Minutes Ago” could be anything from convoluted comedy, pretentious arthouse experiment, ugly no-budget sci-fi or just incomprehensible dreck.
But instead the film cleverly focuses on its main characters, and becomes a pleasant little affair that is mostly successful and quite charming.
