The Lifton Institute for Media
Skills started with a simple idea: create meaningful jobs in the film and television trades. We accomplish this by providing skilled and unskilled out-of-work labor and students the guidance of experienced instructors. We then provide extensive hands-on experience using the same tools, stages and timeframes as the profession they are studying. It is an educational philosophy that reaches across all of our programs.
Berlin has held its Mercedes-Benz Berlin Fashion Week recently with remarkable taste and quality. The show was held at the Hamburger Bahnhof museum which included a huge entertainment tent, four bars, and excellent service. The music was blaring and the guests were so drunk they had to recover with massive hangovers.
The modeling world is known for its “eat them and spit them out mentality”. Many a Detroit model has gone to New York and came back with their hearts broken and their dreams smashed. They went with great hopes only to find they are not yet tough enough for the challenge.
Kork TV finally finished with two packed houses the weekend of November 7th and 8th. Kork TV is an original production by Len Fischer who is also the director of the show. He has been involved in theater most of his life but has only recently, in the past few years, moved into producing working productions.
