WHEN HORSTMANN MET REINER . . .
Atlanta, Georgia - This is the story of us-not when Harry met Sally, but when Horstmann met Reiner-how a few good men (and women) didn't go north, but instead headed west, past the ghosts of Mississippi to shoot Rob Reiner introducing his selection of 27 'Essential' movies for a new series on Turner Classic Movies.
Karl Horstmann of Triple Horse Productions directed the famous actor-director offering his commentary on why the movies he chose are integral to our culture and essential for viewers interested in what makes an enduring classic. "Meeting him [Rob Reiner] was amazing," Horstmann said. "I'm a fan of his movies and I think my kids are trying to set a new record for watching The Princess Bride the most times."
    Reiner's 'Essentials,' which will air in April on Turner Classic Movies, includes such greats as Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder and North by Northwest; Bogart's Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre; and Welles' Citizen Kane.
    Triple Horse Productions filmed Reiner's introductions of his 'Essentials' on Stage 1 of Ten9Fifty Studios in Culver City, California. Clips from these movies were projected onto a curved wall on one side of Reiner and hanging parallel panels on the other.
    "Projecting semi-transparent images onto both sides of the hanging panels-that was the challenge," Horstmann said. (page 2)
