Mark's Gone Hollywood: Always Coca-Cola
http://markkosin.blogspot.com/2010/02/always-coca-cola.html
Where Hollywood and Vine meet Clark and Addison". Sunday, February 21, 2010. Well, coming off USA's AMAZING win over the Canadians in Olympic hockey I'm afraid to drop a little bad news for all out there in BlogLand. REDNEZVOUS", my Coke commercial, did not win the Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmakers Award. The award went to "Message in a Bottle", a USC spot that was directed/produced by very good friends from my semester. That thought lasted about as long as Cubs momentum in the playoffs! It is so delicious...

Mark's Gone Hollywood: PUT THAT COFFEE DOWN.
http://markkosin.blogspot.com/2008/10/put-that-coffee-down.html
Where Hollywood and Vine meet Clark and Addison". Friday, October 24, 2008. PUT THAT COFFEE DOWN. Coffee is for closers! In that case, I'll have a mocha frappacino. With whip cream. As mentioned earlier, we make 2 (count 'em: 2) films this semester. So as my partner spent time on sound and getting the final product to show today (went over very well, by the way), I have busied myself in the details of pre-production. Namely, casting, script revisions, and locations. We attempted to find space to build an...

Where Hollywood and Vine meet Clark and Addison". Monday, March 26, 2012. USC Moment #2 - A "Rendezvous" with Destiny. So, YES, it has been a while since I've blogged and YES I think I said I would finish this list of "Top USC Moments" before I graduated . last year. BUT, I have been busily navigating the lush jungle of post-grad life as of late. For those who don't remember 2009, please view this highly informative video. For those who don't know me at all or have never read this blog, I can safely say ...

Mark's Gone Hollywood: USC Moment #3 - The Man. The Myth. The Spielberg.
http://markkosin.blogspot.com/2011/09/usc-moment-3-man-myth-spielberg.html
Where Hollywood and Vine meet Clark and Addison". Friday, September 9, 2011. USC Moment #3 - The Man. The Myth. The Spielberg. Okay, so moments 4 and 5 were all well and good, but now it's time to get to the real top-shelf stuff. The "remember it like it was yesterday for the rest of your life" stuff. And that's what these final three moments are, without a doubt. The Spielberg visit is an absolute good.". He was really truly happy to be there. It helped, of course, that as a class we'd been studying...

Mark's Gone Hollywood: New Frontier
http://markkosin.blogspot.com/2012/05/new-frontier.html
Where Hollywood and Vine meet Clark and Addison". Monday, May 21, 2012. One thing I've always liked about this blog is how it can act as my own personal news source in my own little ego orbit. It allows for more than just a Facebook status update or the 140 characters of a tweet for those times when I feel like getting on a digital soapbox to rant and rave. Or when I want to make a big deal of something. I know what you're thinking: "But, Mark, you've been SO prolific on this blog! But it has pissed me o...

Mark's Gone Hollywood: Week Sauce: Wednesday / Thursday
http://markkosin.blogspot.com/2010/10/week-sauce-wednesday-thursday.html
Where Hollywood and Vine meet Clark and Addison". Saturday, October 9, 2010. Week Sauce: Wednesday / Thursday. Yes, I'm running behind. What of it? Woke up early to do some rewriting on our hockey-horror-comedy webisodes. It was pouring rain and I met my co-writer at a coffee shop that was just a few blocks away, so I actually WALKED in the RAIN for about five blocks. Not a big deal? Well, the teacher is amazing and the class takes place in the Norris Theater - big theater on campus - so its a chance to ...

Where Hollywood and Vine meet Clark and Addison". Friday, July 15, 2011. So, for all those friends and family who are on the verge of enjoying yet another GORGEOUS summer weekend in the city of Chicago, I want to alert you to an unspeakable evil that is about to envelope Los Angeles tonight (no, not 'The Kardashians' they're.they're always here). No, the epic, frightening, "Katrina-esque" hardship coming our way is the event known as CARMAGGEDON. From 'A' to 'B' is what is going to be completely closed&#...

Where Hollywood and Vine meet Clark and Addison". Thursday, January 14, 2010. Okay, lets just do this quickly: it has been almost two and a half months since I last posted on the blog. Very lame. But, I've got some excuses.for starters.I got a little busy directing a Coca-Cola commercial. Finally got around to putting some pics up. BTW: the fella behind the camera in pic #3 is our cinematographer, a USC grad student a few semesters ahead of me who did an amazing job). I'm very excited for 2010. I thi...

Mark's Gone Hollywood: USC Moment #1 - MANGINA (or the Most Important Thing I Took Away from Film School)
http://markkosin.blogspot.com/2012/05/usc-moment-1-mangina-or-most-important.html
Where Hollywood and Vine meet Clark and Addison". Thursday, May 17, 2012. USC Moment #1 - MANGINA (or the Most Important Thing I Took Away from Film School). So it has come to this. It has taken me nearly a year since graduating to finish this thing I originally said in Feb 2011 I'd have done " before graduation. It was second semester, fall of 2008, and we were finishing our 508 films. And by the time the semester is over all you want to do is bathe in river of whiskey and cigarettes and never hear abou...
