Fandomicity — the video

The Office FandomicityMaggie (aka seat18b) has finally finished her film class project — a documentary about The Office fandom called FANDOMICITY — “a documentary made for the fans by the fans.”

I’ve watched the entire thing, and I must say, it is fan-freaking-tastic. (Who knew Office fans were so dang funny?)

Maggie adds, “All the cast and crew were made a copy over at the offices of The Office and everyone really liked it, which is really great.”

And yeah, Maggie got an A on her project. :)

Greg Daniels at Banff World Television Festival

The Office Executive Producer Greg Daniels is in Banff this week leading a master class for the World Television Festival.

Here are some interesting related articles (I’m tagging this with a SPOILER ALERT because Season 4 is discussed, but nothing is revealed that is earth-shattering):

  • 6/12, Blogcritics Magazine: An Interview with The Office Creator Greg Daniels. “It’s just almost embarrassing when you see the promos for 30 Rock and Scrubs and there’s all these good gags in there, and then there’s ours and it’s all “I loooove you.” And I’m like, OK, that was a good moment, but we had guys in inflatable sumo suits also.”
  • 6/12, Edmonton Sun: Office talk. “People on college campuses have more passion for our show than they have passion for Two and a Half Men.”
  • 6/11, Toronto Star: Funny business as usual at NBC. “The writers have “broken” the first 13 episodes. Each has two or three rough outlines — Daniels brought his two to Banff — and the plan is to reconvene after July 4 with completed scripts.”

The Office Steve Carell

May 31: Check out today’s clip — my NBC source says “it’s a never-before-seen segment from NBC’s 2005 upfront, in which the renewal of The Office is announced and Carell jumps out of the audience, goes crazy and kisses Bob Wright on the lips.”

DotComedy.com has launched “Steve Almighty” — showcasing different clips of Steve Carell through June 22!

And there are some great classic videos — from The Office, Conan, The Ambiguously Gay Duo, and of course, his hilarious Golden Globes acceptance speech. Go check it out!
