Tyler Mitchell Tells MANjr. Who “The Angriest Man In Brooklyn” Is.
This weekend “The Angriest Man in Brooklyn,” starring Robin Williams, Mila Kunis, Melissa Leo and Peter Dinklage, will be released by Lionsgate in select theaters. The film centers on Henry Altmann, who is played by Robin Williams. He seems to always be having a bad day. In the film we find Henry waiting impatiently at the doctor’s office. When he is finally seen by Dr. Sharon Gill. Sharon, played by Mila Kunis, who is enduring her own bad day, she gives him some bad news.
She tells Henry that he has a brain aneurysm. This news makes Henry even angrier and he starts yelling at Sharon as he demands to know how much time he has left. Faced with Henry’s anger and insults, Sharon abruptly tells him he has only 90 minutes. Shocked and reeling by this news, Henry storms out of the office leaving Sharon stunned by what she has just done in a lapse of judgment. As Sharon goes on a city-wide search, Henry struggles with his diagnosis, determined to make amends with everyone he has hurt in his life.
One of the producers from this film is Tyler Mitchell. He is a film and television producer, writer and executive whose credits include “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” and “Lucky Number Slevin.”
Mitchell began his career in film at age 19, doing summer internships with producers Arnold Kopelson, Jim Jacks and Sean Daniel, as well as working for New Line Cinema. After graduating college, he gained hands-on production knowledge as a director’s assistant on such films as “The Whole Nine Yards,” before joining the Agent Training Program at International Creative Management, where he worked for Ken Kamins, Executive Vice President and Head of International Operations.
In 2001, Mitchell departed ICM for upstart production/finance company FilmEngine, where he served as Vice President of Production and Head of Development. Mitchell oversaw the development, production and financing of six films in the company’s first four years, including “The Butterfly Effect,” starring Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart, and “The Rum Diary”, starring Johnny Depp. During his tenure, FilmEngine landed a four year, first-look production and financing deal at New Line Cinema.
Mitchell is currently a partner at Landscape Entertainment. Landscape has a First-Look deal with Entertainment One for television and a First-Look deal with Fox Studios for Event Series, with projects in active development at: HBO, USA, TNT, FOX, WGN, and Amazon.
I was able to catch up with Tyler to ask him about “The Angriest Man in Brooklyn,” the difference between directing and producing, and much more. Click here to listen to the interview.

Antrel Rolle Works Out The Media
New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle teamed up with Promax Nutrition protein bars to host a workout with Henry Hynsoki and Spencer Paysinger at NYSC in Mid-town earlier this month. Some members of the media had a chance to work out with Antrel and the rest of the crew.
I was able to ask Antrel a few questions on the workout with Promax Nutrition and his time in the NFL.
Art Eddy: You worked with Promax Nutrition bars for an extreme workout. Tell me a bit about the event?
Antrel Rolle: The event was to show some of the workouts that we do on a day to day basis. We did some speed, agility, and strength drills. Just a little preview but we definitely got them to break a sweat. Doing these workouts you are burning off energy, so Promax Nutrition protein bars are perfect to keep your energy levels up throughout our long days of practice.
AE: Were the exercises that you guys did similar to your own workouts to get ready for the NFL season?
AR: Definitely. These are some of the warm-ups and drills we do at the facility and even now in the offseason.
AE: Speaking of the NFL you and the rest of the New York Giants reached the top of the NFL mountain when you guys won Super Bowl XLVI. How long did it take for that win to sink in?
AR: In the moment everything was happening so fast that it took me a few days to realize what had just happened. One of the best memories I will have.
AE: Your position is defensive back. In a league that has a major focus on passing the ball what are some of the major things that you look to focus on as you prepare week in and week out?
AR: I study my tapes and learn the ways of the receivers. I like to know how my opponents think so I can prepare for them. I constantly work on my speed and receiving as well.
AE: Is there a player that challenges you the most on the field?
AR: The guy who challenges me most on the field is LeSean McCoy. He is the hardest guy to tackle in the open field of play.
AE: Last season you had a great season with six interceptions and two sacks. What type of goals do you set for yourself before each season starts?
AR: I like to take things one game at a time. The ultimate goal is to get to and win the Super Bowl of course, but I have daily goals and weekly goals that I set for myself throughout the season. Gotta push through and be better than the day before.

Light It Up
Sonne Industries, LLC, is redefining lighting control by introducing the first-ever system to automate indoor and outdoor lights throughout your home or business by using levels of darkness, not just the time of day. The Light Sentry™ uses a Natural Light Sensor to automatically power lights to desired intensity levels. The patented system adjusts to environmental conditions, seasonal variations and time for worry-free operation.
The versatile Light Sentry system has many applications including porch lights, landscape lighting, fans, night lights, holiday lighting, small appliances, game consoles and more. With Light Sentry users will save energy, improve safety and enhance their lifestyle. According to the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (2009), appliances, electronics and lighting make up 35% of US households energy usage representing $1,400 in annual costs. Smart Light Sentry users can save an estimated 32% in energy for a single 60 watt bulb used 5 hours per day.
The Light Sentry is a simple, do-it-yourself installation with the Natural Light Sensor placed in an area of sunlight exposure and the Portable Power Gates plugged into any outlet, with the lamp or appliance plugged into the gate. Then, with the use of a PC or Mac computer, the Light Sentry Hub syncs user preferences and power gate commands.
