Greetings, welcome to Embrace your Storm. I’ve got an awesome, exciting episode for you today. I’m speaking with Marlene and I met her through the film festival that we’re doing here at Tornado. I’m just talking to her before the interview and Marlene’s got a lot of interesting things that we can talk about, so I’m excited she owns Pink Poodle Productions. Marlene, thanks for coming on today.
0:01:23 – Speaker 3
Oh, thank you. Thank you for having me. This is such a pleasure.
0:01:27 – Speaker 2
It’s my pleasure. This is going to be so cool. Before we get too far into it, do you mind telling the audience? I guess to let the audience know who you are, where did you? Not necessarily where you grew up and stuff, but just how did you get involved in the film and what started you down that path? Because part of this you know the podcast here is to see what makes you want to create using film as your vehicle or platform that you’ve chosen.
0:01:55 – Speaker 3
Sure. Well, my name is Marlene Sharp. I’m originally from New Orleans, louisiana, and I moved to California early in my career not even my educational career to be in show business. That was the whole reason for landing in Los Angeles, and I did it incrementally. I came here by way of San Diego State University where I went to graduate school.
I have an MFA in musical theater and yeah, so the original goal was to be an actress and I’ve always been interested in performing for film, tv, stage, all that stuff, and so I did it as much as I could in New Orleans. And then I thought I’m too big for this town and I thought like around age three or so is when I decided I really needed to bail. And so I stuck it out for undergrad school in New Orleans because my parents really discouraged me from breaking tradition of gentile Southern girls staying around the neighborhood. Yeah, so I did that, but it just wasn’t me. So I left and went to San Diego State and then moved to Orange County for a year and then ended up in Los Angeles, where I’ve been for one million years.
0:03:36 – Speaker 2
So, like with Pink Poodle Productions, I guess we could maybe start with that and then you could either go backwards a little bit of kind of how you got to doing Pink Poodle Productions, but let everyone know, kind of like what that is. Yeah, so you’re dealing with it.
0:03:51 – Speaker 3
Sure, so that’s my own company, pink Poodle Productions. It’s basically me and my dog, blanche Dubois-Sharp, who is right here tearing up her bed because she wants to be the center of attention.
0:04:08 – Speaker 2
I’m hoping she’s a Poodle.
0:04:12 – Speaker 3
She’s a Poodle-Bichon mix, but she identifies as a Poodle. There you go. So a little politically correct humor for you there. We love Bichons and Poodles equally, but I didn’t know if pink Bichons were a thing, it just seemed like pink Poodles.
0:04:36 – Speaker 2
Yeah, exactly, it rolls off the tongue a lot better.
0:04:38 – Speaker 3
Yeah, and I had to get pink in there because that’s my favorite color. So that’s the deep, rich history of the name of my company. And it started as just the website for my consulting projects. So most of my career I’ve been on staff at various companies. I pursued a lot of freelance stuff as well, including acting jobs as a non-full-time employee for various places, but I’ve also had full-time, mostly executive in charge of production or executive development executive type positions, and so I really just wanted something to showcase all of the stuff that I’ve done. It started as a glorified resume and then, at the end of 2019, I lost my job.
I was working full-time as the head of production out of Los Angeles for level five, which is a Japanese video game company known for Yokai Watch and a number of other video game-driven intellectual properties, and so I was working there and they decided to pull back their international business and focus on the Japanese market. So they closed all the international offices LA, seoul and Hong Kong and that was the end of my job. So I still had my Pink Poodle website, so I thought, well, I don’t have another job waiting for me. So guess what? Pink Poodle is now my full-time job. So that’s what I did and I have been fortunate and I was fortunate even from the get-go to have a number of consulting projects to keep me busy, and I’ve continued on in that fashion for the last two and a half years. And yeah, that’s the story.
0:06:47 – Speaker 2
So one thing that I love that we were talking is you’re like I am the biggest fan of LinkedIn. I am their biggest cheerleader, oh yeah. So I need you to tell people why you’re the biggest fan of LinkedIn. Oh yeah, if you’re listening to people and you don’t use LinkedIn, you’re going to start using it after you hear her story.
0:07:04 – Speaker 3
Yeah, so I have been employed thanks to LinkedIn and probably the biggest coup was my job at Sega. So from 2015 till the end of 2017, my title was producer TV series for Sega of America and Burbank, california, and I was found. I was scouted and recruited on LinkedIn. It was a recruiter who found me, and it wasn’t even from blindly applying to those black holes of application hell. That’s fairly typical and required for such things. My situation was that I was just contacted out of the blue and now there was a rather diabolical interview process. I’m not going to lie about that. I probably had 10 interviews over the course of two months, so that happened, but still, you know what I would rather do 10 interviews than one online application.
0:08:21 – Speaker 2
Especially the ones that make you like do some sort of like tests or whatever, before you know, before you feel like it’s like no thanks.
0:08:30 – Speaker 3
That is so insulting and horrible and I think the entire world should revolt against that. I mean, it’s like it’s don’t even get me started, but that was not the case with SEGA of America and this, this wonderful recruiter who found me. But I really think the key to navigating LinkedIn in a way that you get noticed is just using it. It’s just being on there a lot and posting your own things definitely helps, but interacting with other people’s posts Posts and stuff like actually like participating. Exactly.
Yeah and even just it might seem so trivial just to like somebody else’s posts, but it really can be the tipping point. Somebody will see that you liked their, and one of my favorite things is to like posts that nobody else has liked, because then the person who has posted.
It is so grateful and you’ve basically made a friend for life and you’d be surprised how many really wonderful, talented people don’t. They don’t post very often and so their posts don’t get noticed. And, yeah, there’s an opportunity. So it’s not rocket science, it’s just, you know, thinking about human nature and how everybody likes to be acknowledged.
0:10:03 – Speaker 2
Exactly, exactly Now. I think throughout a lot of your career you’ve been mostly involved, like you said, production right and production and development, which is all the stuff that happens before production and is often referred to as development hell, because it can.
0:10:23 – Speaker 3
It can last for many, many years. A good case study is the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which was in development probably 10 years before the movie came out Maybe. If you count all the deal-making and schmoozing and all the stuff that went before it, it was probably a good 10 years until the day that the first movie came out. So yeah, so that that’s been a big part of my career is doing all that stuff that leads up to a green light for production.
0:11:03 – Speaker 2
What do you like about that process? Like it does sound like it could be a really good experience, or it could be, you know, really bad experience, depending on the situation. But what is it about that process do you like? Do you like? Do you like, you know, getting getting it finally finished, where you get that green light and you’re saying, okay, now let’s do this? You’re like, yes, I got it done. Is it like? What about that process? Do you like?
0:11:26 – Speaker 3
Well, that’s where all the major creative decisions are made. Like people are, like lay people, the, you know, regular people are familiar with production. Because, you see, you see that, like you see, location shooting on the street. You see on the entertainment talk shows, you’ll see. You know behind the scenes footage of the, the shoots and stuff.
So that’s the stuff that gets all the the attention, but it’s basically just crews showing up and doing what they’re told. You know crews and actors and it’s not any decision-making. The script isn’t getting written there, the the production’s not getting designed there, it’s just, it’s very, it’s very tedious work unless you’re high up on the food chain like a director. But even the director is is planning stuff ahead of time in in pre-production and or development.
0:12:32 – Speaker 2
They’re not just showing up on the set and winging it you know, on the fly being like, oh hey, here’s a great idea yeah, right, right so, um so.
0:12:43 – Speaker 3
So none of the process is easy. I know it sounds like I’m a big baby saying oh no, so hard.
0:12:49 – Speaker 2
Whatever I honestly I honestly went with lay people because I I mean not that I thought everything was happening on the fly, but I mean I thought you know quite a bit of it was sort of done. You know, at that point I didn’t realize it was literally finished before they even started doing that.
0:13:04 – Speaker 3
You know, I’m saying like well, yeah, if you think about also all the contracts that need to be done for every single person who is working on the set, plus all the intellectual property stuff, distribution like and, and, and, and. None of those contracts can be done without creative decisions of you know who, who are the right voices to speak for this project, like who’s the, who’s the proper screenwriter? And then also, what is the story that we want to tell, what is the look that we want to show? So, um, so my parents are forever telling me like, oh, there’s filming so many movies in new ylans, now you can just move home and do that.
And it’s like, um, no, no, it doesn’t work that way yeah, oh, my god, my, my dad is my mom in dad, but my dad just told me this story about some people in Metterie, which is the suburb where I grew up, and they, they, they rented their driveway to a production that needed to park a limousine. For what’s his name? Um, oh golly, I’m for I’m blanking on the actor’s name Tommy Lee Jones they had to.
They rented their driveway because the production was was was actually renting a house for a location shoot next door, but they needed an extra place to park Tommy Lee Jones’s limo so so they rented. They rented the their driveway for a hundred dollars and my dad was so excited to tell me that I was like dad. Okay, thank you for telling me the story there’s so many things wrong with that story and it’s so does not apply to me at all.
0:14:52 – Speaker 2
I love this parents.
0:14:54 – Speaker 3
I know they’re, they’re so cute, but uh yeah, and you think that I would have started in this business like yesterday, the way they these revelations yeah, that’s what I’m saying.
0:15:05 – Speaker 2
Like you think you’ve never had a conversation with them like yeah, but I know it’s um anyway, anyway um, now, now are. Is there anything like you’re working on, like, like I mean when you’re doing production of stuff? Is there anything you’re working on story wise? Have you done like your own stuff? Or have you been finding yourself where people hire you say, hey, here’s my story and I did, but I need you to like execute it like you know. What are you finding yourself doing more?
0:15:34 – Speaker 3
that is an excellent question and the answer is that I am able to live day to day by working on other people’s projects. Um, that that’s how I sustain myself. But my dream is to get my own projects off the ground, and I have. I have sold and optioned projects in the past and I have developed things for like as a commission, like someone else will. Okay, you know they’ll pay me to develop things, but I have yet to see any of that stuff produced in a in a big way.
It’s just things get caught in development hell and and um. And then a lot of it relates to, like, regime changes at studios and companies. Like somebody who might be a champion of your project one day might leave that company and then the new person won’t be a champion or it’s just not in their interest to forward your project to any extent. Um, so you know, there’s all kinds of there’s all kinds of political reasons why you see what you see on screens and, um, unfortunately, my stuff hasn’t made it to the big time. I always say that, like Tina Fey is having my career, because that’s that’s, and it seems that there’s only room in this world for one, tina Fey, which is unfortunate which is so unfortunate, but, um, but that’s what I’d like to be doing, like creating my my own projects and starring in them with Blanche, um and uh.
So I try to stay hopeful that maybe it’s not too late, maybe I’m the Betty White of my generation and when I’m like 90 I’ll really hit my stride, and that’s when well, hey, you know what I read this book?
0:17:31 – Speaker 2
uh, not probably in the last year or two. It’s called Late Bloomers and I love it. Well, the point.
I don’t know it, but I already love it well, because, because you know the point of the book it talks about, we live in this day and age now where we’re seeing, you know, 20 something, 30 somethings being these like millionaire, billionaire, you know, kind of right. And so this book, this book was pointing out like that’s not normal, like you know, even though it seems like it happens a lot of whatever it really doesn’t it’s not normal and like a lot of people really aren’t successful until much later in life. And so the book points out all these people and sadly I can’t remember any of them at all right now, but the point of it is like that, these people in the list, it’s like names you heard of and you’re like, wow, they weren’t successful until they’re like 55 and it’s like a name you felt like you’ve known forever.
0:18:19 – Speaker 3
You know what I’m saying wow, okay, I’m buying that book today yeah, that’s how late bloomers, it’s a great.
0:18:25 – Speaker 2
I highly yeah, yes, yeah. So that’s how interesting that’s great. Yeah, um, jonathan, maybe we need to start a podcast together called Late Bloomers and that’s fine with me, because I, I I hope to be one of the like. No, not not that, I hope to be.
0:18:45 – Speaker 3
I will be one of those, you know yes, yes, well, you’re already, you’re, you’re already there, so you’re, you’re kind of an early bloomer and you can be a late bloomer too.
0:18:57 – Speaker 2
You can be both but I but I get what you’re saying, like I’ve been there. That’s why I, that’s why I feel like I had to bring that up, because it’s a great book. It really will get you to change your, your mindset, for real, you know.
0:19:10 – Speaker 3
I need that. With each passing year, I need that more and more, and I mean yeah, no one for anyone listening.
0:19:17 – Speaker 2
I mean honestly like it. This day and age we live in, like I’m 43, so you just like, oh, let’s forget it, I miss my you know opportunity or whatever. I’m sort of hitting it whatever. Whatever success means to you, right, you just like, if you get past that age, you’re like forget, I forget it, it’s over. I’m gonna work my nine to five an hour, but it’s not the case. Like you gotta keep just working hard and you know you get out what you put into it. And a lot of these late bloomer people, that’s how it worked. It was just a struggle for them. Like they just kept having failures and successes and failures and before you know you hit the big success you know, and so yeah, I, just to your point.
0:19:56 – Speaker 3
I just read this great story from the Hollywood reporter about Marla Gibbs, the actress from the Jeffersons, of course, but also 227, and she’s been in a lot of movies and tv shows and everything, and I I always loved the Jeffersons and 227. I love watching both of those shows and so they did a profile on her just a couple weeks ago. She turned 90, I think, and she looks fantastic and I did not know this about her. But she didn’t even move to LA to start acting professionally until she was 44. And yeah, she, she’s from I either want to say Detroit or Chicago, I’m not sure but um, but she.
So she worked for an airline and um she, so she was able to get transferred from the airline, transferred to Los Angeles and she kept her airline job oh, she was recording while she was on Jeffersons because she was too scared to oh, this is not gonna last, and so, after like season two or something, um, somebody, one of the producers of the show was like I think it’s okay for you, like, how can you even do two jobs like this is gonna kill you and uh.
And so she finally gave up the airline job. But she’s like you know, she had been working for the airlines for like over 10 years and she had built up, yeah, retirement savings and whatever. And you know she was very aware of the capricious nature of show business, especially acting, and so she was. I think she had, um, she was a single mom as well, wow, and so I think I could I could be wrong, I might be remembering this wrong, but I’m pretty sure that was, that was part of it and um, but, yeah, so she and yeah, she’s really so I was like, okay, my new hero.
0:21:59 – Speaker 1
Yeah, I mean I love.
0:22:00 – Speaker 3
I loved her anyway, but I was like even I loved her even more now, because that’s another thing. I never really felt like I could pursue acting 100% without having another job, and then what ends up happening is the other job takes over your life.
0:22:18 – Speaker 2
Exactly exactly, because you’re like oh, I got to keep making money and earning money, you know whatever, and yeah, you know. But I.
0:22:27 – Speaker 3
I am fortunate in that I’ve always worked in the entertainment business because I didn’t want to just like wait tables or sell insurance or what. Not that there’s anything wrong with those professions, but they’re just not me.
0:22:39 – Speaker 2
And, and so.
0:22:43 – Speaker 3
I always pursued other avenues of the entertainment business, but it’s quite stressful to have that double life like Marla Gibbs had, and it sounded like she. It sounds like she did an amazing job, an amazing balancing act. I found that like in 2013,. I reached a breaking point with that and I had to really not go to auditions anymore and I say that I’m offer only now for acting because I just it was. It was stressing me out so much I have to be brutal.
And I’ve used every lie and excuse in the book to get out of my regular job, to go to auditions and get right, get job. I mean I was like James Bond in leading this double life but it worked out sometimes, but other times, like there, what is really the worst, the most soul crushing as part of it, is when you have to turn down an acting job, which are so few and far between, because something that you cannot miss your other job you cannot miss it or you will be fired, and so that happened to me a few times, and I was like I just this is terrible, I just can’t, I can’t do it anymore, it’s too, it’s too much.
So. So, jonathan, this is, this is your call to please cast me in something. I’ll do a fine job for whoever hires me.
0:24:26 – Speaker 2
Um, that’s fine. I was gonna say, well, so how I know you said that brought you out there. So did you ever act like did, where you’re ever able to act in anything? Or were you saying, oh?
0:24:36 – Speaker 3
yeah, okay, yeah, I know I’m using this poor me routine.
0:24:42 – Speaker 2
I just didn’t know if you ever actually because I, because you sleep, like you said, you have to work, and then you know yeah other things. So we, I just wasn’t able, wasn’t sure if you’re yeah, well, probably the most.
0:24:55 – Speaker 3
no, I did a lot All things considered, but it wasn’t like long term stuff that I could say like, oh, this is my yeah, yeah this is my work now. This is my life, but probably one of my proudest moments was I was in a very, very short-lived sitcom on NBC that also starred Steve Carell.
0:25:20 – Speaker 2
Okay.
0:25:20 – Speaker 3
And and it it actually did pretty well in the ratings for all four episodes aired. But, but, just and it was, the show was a star vehicle for a comedian named Tom Papa, who is a protege of Jerry Seinfeld, and so Seinfeld didn’t have any credit on the project, but it was rumored that he was like pulling the strings behind the scenes. And then everybody who worked on the show, like the directors, the executive producers were Seinfeld alums, and then there was one friends alum who was another of the executive producer slash creator. So it was like a who’s who of sitcoms, which is always where I thought I belonged. And and on the last day of filming I cried like a baby to the casting director and I was like I don’t want this to end. And she’s like, oh, this is just the beginning.
And it wasn’t. I mean it was. I’ve never had an experience like that again. But but I have. You can check me out on IMDb and see my some of my acting credits on there, and I’ve done voiceover for a lot of, a lot of Japanese and Korean cartoons that need to be dubbed over in English and yeah, yeah, so so that’s, yeah, that’s, that’s my acting career. I’m not, I’m, I’m trying. I try to keep hope alive that I can still do more with it before my time on earth is over. But we’ll see, yeah.
0:27:09 – Speaker 2
And I guess the one last thing I’ll ask about is the. It was the music video, one or two music videos he submitted to the the festival, right? Oh yeah, I forgot yes, so what did you do with those Like? Did you do like the animation portion of the of those music videos?
0:27:28 – Speaker 3
Yeah, so. So they came from two, two different places that are not connected at all except through me. So one is Koheema, the music video by my colleague, sahel Bargava. So Sahel and I both work for Rain Shine Entertainment, which is an Indian based company, so it’s based in Mumbai, but there’s a small team of us that work out of Los Angeles for Rain Shine, and so right now our big project that we’re working on is called Young Captain Nemo.
It’s a trilogy of animated feature films, but Sahel. So Sahel’s title is the head of adult and teen animation and my title is head of IP strategy and acquisitions. So we work very closely together. But in addition to that, because you know, everybody in Hollywood is a multi hyphenate, so Sahel is also a musician and plays multiple instruments, as a composer, singer, and so during COVID he wanted to release a number of singles and and he and he wanted to do music videos to correspond with them, but shooting live action wasn’t really practical, so so he, he did them as animation and I I wasn’t really that involved in the production process of that. It was a very small team in India that he worked with. Yeah, but, um, but I have a lot of experience in the film festival circuit and like.
I see okay, submitting things to festivals and panel discussion, all the bells and whistles that go along with film festivals. I’ve been in that world for a long time, so so I said, well, let’s put your stuff in some film festivals and see what happens. And so so we did. And so I’m. I guess you could say that I’m a producer in the sense that like a marketing kind of producer on this. I didn’t really have a hand in the animation, but everything that came afterwards, yeah, I’ve been. So the reason why this landed in your lap is because I submitted it.
0:29:43 – Speaker 2
There you go, yeah, I know it’s funny, because when we first talked I was like yeah, which project or projects did you submit?
0:29:50 – Speaker 3
And you’re like hang on a second, let me pull my spreadsheet Right, right, so there’s that, and then there’s another project that I submitted called what to Do with your Tabloid News, and that is from the Center of the Center for Learning, unlimited and it’s companion studio, brainstorm productions, where I am just an advisor, just a friend of the school. So it’s a school, for it’s a kindergarten through 12th grade for children on the autism spectrum, but three years ago, or three to five years ago, they started an animation career training program for adults on the autism spectrum, and so a friend of mine is a full time animation instructor there, and so she had asked me if I would, just if I would, talk to the administration about what to do with these, these folks after they graduate from the program, and you know just how to kind of play some or find them a job.
Yeah, like now what? And she’s like, please would you just talk to them and just just just hold their hands and just see what happens. So then that led to me being more involved with the school, and so I’ve done various things for them over the last couple of years, and one of which was I helped them to enter the Easter Seals Disability Challenge last year. So it’s kind of like a 48 hour film festival type of thing. And so so you know, we scrambled, put together this project, which was their first time collaborating as an actual animation pipeline. Before they had only done like individual projects.
And so so you know, we put this thing together and we didn’t. We didn’t win the Easter Seals Challenge, we didn’t, we didn’t place or anything like that, but we had this short film that was a calling card, and so so I offered to, because I’ve submitted for film, film festivals, for employers and myself to for a long time. So I was like, hey, why don’t? Why don’t we try this? Why don’t we try to get it into some other festival? Since we have this asset, we might as well, exactly use it.
It would be good exposure for the students, and so that’s what we did, and so that’s how that one landed on your door. So, yeah, that’s some. That’s the story behind those.
0:32:30 – Speaker 2
That’s awesome. Is there anything like you’re currently working on that you want to talk about, or anything you’re going to work on the future, like I guess we’re kind of round and third here or whatever? To wrap up, yeah, yeah.
0:32:41 – Speaker 3
Um well, there are a few things that are sort of under wraps, so I won’t spill the beans here, but, um, but there is young captain Nemo, that that I’m working on with rain shine, with Sahil Bargava, who’s one of the major creative players behind that, as well as Jeffrey Reddick, who is the creator of the final destination franchise. We hired him.
So, Jeffrey and I are have been good friends for a long time, and so what happened was I, I found this book series called Young Captain Nemo, written by another friend of mine, Jason Henderson, is a really, really cool contemporary retelling of the Captain Nemo story. I mean, it’s, it’s, it’s really about his present day descendants, and one, one boy in particular, but there is a harkening back to the source material. So, um, but anyway, it is a new story actually, but but there’s a lot of you know, you, it it, it calls back to the source material. So so, rain, shine optioned the books, and then we hired Jeffrey Reddick to adapt them into a screenplay, and now we’re, we’re getting ready to start production on the first of three animated feature films. So so I’m, I’m working on that, and then I just I published an article yesterday about a friend of mine named Warren Davis, who so that’s another, another of my many projects I write articles about just mostly entertainment related stuff, stuff that interests me and so a friend of mine who I know is an actor his name is Warren Davis We’ve acted together on stage and in a short film, and he also happened to true, true to form of most people in LA is.
He’s a multi-hyphenate. He’s also a video game creator and he created the video game Qbert, which was really pop. Yes, he created Qbert.
0:34:56 – Speaker 2
I want to speak that guy’s hand.
0:35:00 – Speaker 3
Well, I’ll do you one better. I’ll send you the link to my article and you can read about. So he published a book and the book is called Creating Qbert and Other Classic Video Games. So like, the list of of classic games that he’s worked on is amazing, yeah, and so. So the book was just published, like in the last few weeks basically.
0:35:27 – Speaker 2
And so I said when we get off this interview.
0:35:31 – Speaker 3
Yeah, it’s it. So I said, Warren, I would love to write a book review for you, Because he you know he was promoting it on Facebook and you know grassroots marketing. I was like, well, let me, let me just write a review and then I’ll post it on LinkedIn and you know, you’ll sell some more books.
So, that’s, that’s what I did, and so the article is on geekinsidercom and, and it’s about Warren’s book. And then I have a fun fact in there about how I know Warren, and I knew Warren as an actor and then found out that he was.
0:36:10 – Speaker 2
That’s so funny, right, I know.
0:36:13 – Speaker 3
I remember that day too. I remember being in the theater at rehearsal and somebody saying like well, you know Warren’s video games or something. I was like what do you mean, warren’s video games? And they’re like oh yeah, he, he invented this famous game. You should ask him about it, because whoever it was that was telling me this knew that I worked in that business too. And and the oh. You guys must know each other’s background.
0:36:38 – Speaker 1
I was like no, I don’t.
