Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama: The digital drama series “Conversations in L.A.,” written, produced and starring Carnegie Mellon University alumna Anne Marie Cummings, is becoming the talk of the town.
The dark comedy received rave reviews from The Huffington Post and three nominations for Daytime Emmy Awards this year. Cummings was nominated for Best Actress in a Digital Daytime Series and fellow CMU alumna Vanita Harbour got a nod for Outstanding Supporting Guest Actress. Cummings and Harbour, who has played in the ionic “General Hospital,” are among nine CMU alumni working on the series in front of and behind the camera.
“I would never have been able to predict this two years ago,” Cummings said. “This was not what I was expecting at all.”

I don’t really know what to think after reading this article. I thought it would talk about the show and offer insight as to why it is making wakes in L.A. but instead it talks about how. How the show came to be, what it is about, why it is important, why it is great. It is something. After looking at the website that it has a link to, and finding even more information on it; I find this intriguing. The show is not quite reality, comedy, or drama but a mix of them all as it seems. It creates a very odd atmosphere that I think is integral in the show. I think this integral part is created through what Anne Cummings has done with the show. The article mentions that she took theatre and applied it to film as she shoots scenes in a single shot. This is not only not the standard but intriguing and creates a stylistic effect to the whole show that just brings it somewhere else and somewhere where it is being highly recognized.
