Summer of Sam
Continued from Page 5
borhood. The film explores how
these relationships are affected by
the rampant paranoia and how it
tears them apart. Friends turn on
friends, neighbors double bolt
their doors, and parents forbid
their daughters from going out at
night.
Although Lee’s inimitable Ital
ian-American stereotypes are em
ployed throughout, the varied
performances are quality and the
plot is engaging.
Viewers don’t see the face of
the killer, played by Michael
Badalucco of ABC’s “The Prac
tice,” until the end. Instead,
they are witness to interspaced
grainy scenes of the madman in
his filthy attic apartment, ranti
ng over the incessant barking of
Sam, and his robotic killing of
couples as they kiss in their
cars.
“Summer of Sam” is not a
horror flick focused on the
famed killing spree, but rather
a look into how average people
respond to horror in their
midst.
It is but one story among mil
lions.

nalism, met at the University
thanks to Fabry’s idea to found
the campus Returning Students
Association. Stilwell helped so
lidify the RSA with her business
acumen.
A chance lunch meeting be
tween the two in November 1997
put the wheels in motion for “Eu
gene Energy!” The two assessed
the current offerings on televi
sion, figured they could write
something just as good or better
and dove in on the project.
“Our formula is simple,” said
Stilwell, the show’s executive pro
ducer. “We take a topic that inter
ests the community, then bring it
down to a level where everyone
can understand that topic.
“The media usually pulls apart
issues and asks ‘What’s wrong
with this?’ We look at an issue
and ask ‘What’s right with this?
How does this draw the commu
nity together and make it
stronger?’ ”
Fabry, the executive director,
and Stilwell took classes to learn
directing and the technical as
pects of producing a television
show and soon had nine episodes
that each ran twice on the public
channel. They used the Knight Li
brary as a studio backdrop for
many of the shows but also fo
cused on outdoor locales.
In fact, each 30-minute show
has three segments: an opening to
introduce the particular topic, a
10-minute interview with an ex
pert on that topic and a conclud
ing five-minute segment to show
the theme’s practical application.
KEZI contacted the two last Oc
tober about a pilot show and
asked for budget proposals and
timelines by January. A meeting
at Lyon’s restaurant with KEZI ex
ecutives was a success and the
two came away feeling positive.
Seven weeks ago, Stilwell and
Fabry heard those magic words —
“Go for it” — and the long hours
began. KEZI supplied the techni
cal direction, a studio at Cham
bers Communications and a pro
fessional crew for shooting the
pilot.
KEZI asked the team to utilize
University students, and five in
terns devoted real hands-on work
to the project. The two also said
that University graduate and pro
duction coordinator James Tilford
is the group’s hub.
The first episode, titled “InVi
sions,” focuses on Eugene’s histo
ry and growth issues and received
input during the interview seg
ment from University sociology
adjunct professor Doug Card.
“This was totally different from
a classroom setting with 10 weeks
to teach a course compared to 10
minutes to discuss my views,” he
said. “But the show was very
challenging and exciting.”
That’s a strong testimonial from

What: A pilot show for Eugene
Energy! Productions,
titled "InVisions
When: July 11 at 5:30 on KEZI,
Channel 9, Cable 10
Who: Executive Director,
Mary Ann Fabry;
Executive Producer,
Valerie Stiiwell
a person who admits that he
rarely watches commercial televi
sion.
“Of all the choices we have:
PBS, which nobody watches;
newspapers, which most people
don’t read; classes that are for stu
dents who can’t do anything
about society’s problems; and
then commercial television,
which usually is so minimized,”
Card said, “this is the best thing
I’ve ever seen to reach a huge
number of people in Eugene.
“They will either stay tuned if
it looks interesting, or they’ll just
hit the remote and go on.”
Fabry and Stiiwell are pleased
to have the 5:30 p.m. slot for Sun
day’s show, just before local
news. After airing, a focus group
will offer input to all concerned
parties, and KEZI will then have
until Aug. 15 to pick up the series.
However, Fabry admitted that at
least two other networks are inter
ested in the product if KEZI is not.
“We know we have a good
show,” Stiiwell said. “We’ve cre
ated something that’s going to
work.”
It that s the case, when Monday
morning rolls around, these two
can forego the usual daily grind
and continue working on a more
important mission.
“We’ve worked for a year and a
half to reach this pinnacle, and
Mary Ann said it really well: ‘If
this were to never air, we still
have succeeded to the reach the
point that we did,’ ” Stilwell said.
“But the fact is that it will air, and
when I heard those final words at
the taping — ‘It’s a wrap’ — it was
a very emotional moment.
“That’s what this life is all
about, being able to plug in.”
