This struggle forces the cast and crew to add a spontaneous flexibility to the already rigorous demands of production; in a process described as &#8220;getting Milched&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>David expects guest actors and series regulars alike to embrace everything from last minute line changes to reworking a whole scene. But his expectations of the cast and crew do not exceed the expectations he has of himself&#8211; to deliver the best work possible every time out. David Milch creates and runs his show with a jazz-like improvisational flair, in which everybody involved brings all they have to the play of the process.<\/p>\n<p>AWARDS<\/p>\n<p>Platinum Award for Best Documentary, Houston International Film Festival, 2001.<\/p>\n<p>CREW:<\/p>\n<p>Rita Stern &#8211; Producer<br \/>\nMarc Ostrick &#8211; Director\/Camera\/Editor<br \/>\nFelix Pire \u2014 Associate Editor<br \/>\nDanny Mordujovich \u2014 Music Composer<br \/>\nAidan McGlaze \u2014 Post Production Assistant<\/p>\n<p>SUBJECTS:<\/p>\n<p>Steven Bochco<br \/>\nDavid Milch<br \/>\nCast &amp; Crew of NYPD BLUE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;This 66-minute documentary is more like a feature in that it has a dramatic arc, fly-on-the-wall access to one of America\u2019s favorite TV shows, and an unforgettable lead character&#8230; It draws an unforgettable portrait of a man who makes fictional madmen look tame.&#8221; &#8212; Houston Press Jump down the rabbit hole into the unprecedented wonderland [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":166,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[22,6,21,20,19],"class_list":["post-78","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-selected-works","tag-behind-the-scenes-video","tag-david-milch","tag-denis-franz","tag-marc-ostrick","tag-nypd-blue"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostrickproductions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostrickproductions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostrickproductions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostrickproductions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostrickproductions.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=78"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/ostrickproductions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":606,"href":"https:\/\/ostrickproductions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78\/revisions\/606"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostrickproductions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostrickproductions.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=78"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostrickproductions.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=78"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostrickproductions.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=78"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
