Are Men Okay? (2024)

 

Episode 1: Washington Square Park, NYC 📍

A new show by men, about men, but for everyone. Founded on Jack’s passion for feminist issues and launched in late January 2024, “Are Men Okay?” is currently in production for its second episode. The series touches on issues of modern masculinity and the problems facing us as American men and boys grapple with their identities outside of traditional, patriarchal gender roles. 

Led by man-on-the-street interviews with people across the political spectrum and eventually featuring experts in gender studies and sociology, “Are Men Okay?” will be a brave look into the belly of the beast of modern manhood. Watch the first episode below.

 
 

The Magic of Acting (dir. Jack Tideman)

 

Sarantos Studios and its students were the subjects of multiple viral internet videos.

“The Magic of Acting” captures the techniques of their eclectic instructor, Ted Sarantos, who has been teaching acting for 40 years in the Chicago area — working with some of the same students for almost half that time.

Ted’s students are older than most would expect and are now exploring the profession of acting after having long careers in other fields.

The Magic of Acting Provides a window into the lives of these older students as they try to pursue their acting passions - against all odds.

One of the viral videos in question.
