PlayTalk: Evan Spergel and His New Web Series

Most of the time when we follow people on Instagram or any other social media, we follow them because of first impressions. Those impressions range from how handsome or pretty they look into how many shirtless/bikini pictures they have. I followed Evan Spergel for two reasons, 1 is because he was posting workout videos on his profile and 2 because he is in TorontoI have always been so proud of being Canadian and that I want to follow as much people as I can. Following Evan on Instagram is like a whirlwind of galleries, one day you’ll see a very cute picture of him and his 8 year old dog, the next is like an inspiration of how he keeps himself fit, and then you’ll also see what is he’s currently working on as an actor. Evan is definitely one of those stunning people you’ll see in the street and possibly say hi to them in your head. He has the face that could do you no wrong and the body to go with it. As a follower I always thought that he can get anything he wants or sets his mind for. ( I mean, isn’t that what happens most of the time?) However, that changed after I sat down with him and talked to him about his new Web Series.

 

We originally planned to meet on a Wednesday at a cafe near where he lives, which was also good for me because the cafe was one of my favourites. However, we needed to push it  on a Thursday as he had an audition that came up on Wednesday. Thursday came and I was a little nervous. One is because I don’t know what to expect from him, I have not had any interactions with him aside from the fact that I am one of his 13 thousand Instagram followers. Two is because, I don’t want a preconceived notion to prevent me from knowing who Evan is and why did he write and acted on the Web Series.I was sitting at the coffee shop and was preparing myself for the interview. When I saw him come I made myself known and we shook hands. Evan is definitely not who I was expecting to be, he was very warm and for sure has the smile to warm even the coldest of hearts. As I explained to him who and what playhaus was about I saw how humble, he was by letting me know that he was honoured to be interviewed. As the interview started, I definitely learned things about Evan and the industry he’s in. I learned how brave and how fragile he was. I learned the struggles he faces and at some point realized things that everyone should.

Jhake: So, give me a background of who Evan Spergel is.

Evan: First, I grew up in Ottawa, moved to Toronto to go to OCAD (Ontario College of Art and Design) in 2006 where I studied Art Direction and Advertising. After finishing that program, I had a year where I had doubts on what I really wanted to do. I mean I always really wanted to be a performer ever since I was a kid. Like I was a dancer, a gymnast, but I was always made fun of it for being gay. (which was a really popular word on things that are a bit feminine at that time) So I stopped doing all those things and tried to pursue a different career instead. So after OCAD, I had this crazy realization where everything just flashes and your mind asks the question: “is this it? is this what you really want to do? are you going to really ignore what you’ve been wanting to do?” And so, I moved back to Ottawa and auditioned for Randolph Academy for Performing Arts.So I told myself, If I could audition and was accepted, then good, if not, at least I had the balls to try. I feel like Randolph Academy was my cocoon, it was the place where I became the person I always wanted to be.

IMG_6195

Jhake: You’ve somewhat answered my next question of how you got into acting, so tell me, did you start acting immediately after Randolph?

Evan: I feel like every artist or every person of the arts all think that as a kid we sat in a horseshoe which went up our ass and then one day in our age that we are going to be chosen and that it’s just gonna happen. And like going to auditions and waiting and hearing feedbacks like “oh, you do have a good look” or ” we think you’ll fit this role” and you’re like okay, when is this going to happen? and I went through 3 agents since I graduated Randolph, and I mean I’ve done little things here and there but nothing really substantial.Which was really terrifying, because I already went back to school when I was 23 and Now I am 28 and I’m about to be 30 and I have nothing. I went back and see that nothing is happening so it was like 3 years of waiting around, I decided to just you know use common sense. If something doesn’t happen, what are we going to do? We make it. And so, I just started to write which was incredible. I mean I was onanti-depressants since grade 9 and only right after I stop taking them, that’s when I started writing and encouraging your truth. Writing what you know, and through that I have been learning more things about me and is able to write about some personal stuff we don’t often talk about. That’s what really pays off, the reward of finding out that people can relate.

Because when I was a little depressed kid, I will always watch T.V and I will use that T.V time to escape from my own reality. And it was great because I considered those people (T.V. Characters) as my friends. I was actually planning on creating an indiegogo campaign to fund this series, but when I was looking at what the people in there were asking funding for I felt a little bad. I was like “how dare I come here and ask people for money?” but then, I also realized that what I bring to the table is a some form of escape for some kids or people who wants to escape their own reality. Because when I was a kid there were times where I was watching T.V. and there were characters where I can’t relate to, so it’s nice to create something that I hope people would be able to relate to. Making you feel that I am not alone in this world.

Jhake: Let’s talk about Co-op, tell me what is it about and what inspired you to write it.

Evan: What inspired me to write it is my truth, in a more interesting perspective. It’s really controversial and I’m a little worried about it because I’m afraid that I will be typecasted as a gay guy. Which isn’t a bad thing, which if I am (Typecasted) then I’ll just write myself movies where I play a straight guy. The series opens with a character named Alexander Schwartz, he has a call back for an audition for a leading male role and he was with the writer and director in the room. The audition goes really well, however, at the end of the audition, he (Alexander Schwarts) was talking with the writer and directorThen something happens where he (Alexander) says that he is gay. Then, you’ll see that there is a shift in where, ohhhhh….., because, there are reasons such as marketing, where it might ruin the idea of what they want the character to be portrayed or seen. That day as the audition was actually the same day that Alex was moving in with his best friend into this artist Co-op. Where, every artist like dancers, painters, actors, basically live in this Co-op. The girl that he moves in with is named Darcy, who is his best friend from High School. She’s very high strung and has her own ups and downs. She becomes a teacher just to survive because she needs the money. However, she looks at her students with resentment, mainly because she feels like she’s in the back seat now. Is she helping other people to achieve their careers meanwhile she’s still trying to find her time. At the same time it also examines the relationships within the gay community. It shows how gay people see each other which highlights the genres within the gay community. The respects we all have for each other, realizing labels and understanding why they exist. Inevitably, the series is more about finding pride about who you are and what you enjoy doing. With all of your flaws and making them your actual gifts.

IMG_6215

Jhake: I feel like in any movie there is always a underlying statement. Most of the time it is a political or societal statement.

Evan: Yeah, I mean the series might call bullshit to things that’s happening in the industry. And I mean I even call myself out at times.

Jhake: Well we are the biggest critic of ourselves.

Evan: I feel like one of the biggest realizations in going through the whole process of becoming the artist that I always wanted to be. Is understanding why I stopped for a long time and the fear of people calling me gay. And I mean that may have happened once or five times, and you realize that it was the times where you keep telling yourself that in your head and realizing you are actually the reason your career didn’t start. It’s also realizing you have your own self to blame.

Jhake: So I am guessing that the character of Alexander Schwarts is closely based on you?

Evan: it’s pretty close.

IMG_6224

Jhake: oh yeah? from the struggles he’s going through?

Evan: Yeah, it deals with perspective. I mean, even about being Canadian the struggles of being an artist in Canada. Because it’s not easy for actors to just be in movies or T.V. shows. Like before, there was a checklist before production company can come and shoot in Canada. It was called Canadian Content Checklist, and before it used to be 8 out of 10 and now it’s like 6 out of 10 and actors are normally at the bottom end of that checklist. They tend to hire Canadians for production than acting, that’s why most of their casting happens in the U.S. and they’d have all American cast.

Jhake: You’ve done all the writing, some production and you’ve even acted in it. Now tell me how does it feel to have your creation come to life?

Evan: It’s incredible!!! It is a mixture of feelings of course, it is liberating and terrifying. At the same time, it feels like you’re making a new language each project. And every time you show it, you are giving people the manual on understanding your perspective or thoughts. And it becomes this incredible communication from me to the audience. And for somebody who felt loss and battled ADD and Dyslexia, it feels good. Because often times, I feel like my words are stupid and I was somewhat called that way when I was in Grade 1, so it’s like really justifying for myself. Because, I realized that I have a platform and I have a voice; my end goal is to affect people in a positive way.

IMG_6226

Jhake: So Co-op is a prequel from an earlier movie that you wrote and acted. Tell me what was turbulence all about, was it also derived from your own life?

Evan: Well, yes, basically Turbulence was before Co-op happened, that movie showed Alex’s (Evan’s Character in the Series) tipping point. Where you can see his transformation and co-op will take it from there.

Jhake: What sort of person do you think would love The Co-op?

Evan: I feel like in age range, I would say around the 20’s-30. It’s interesting because my co-star in the series Bree Wasylenko has a huge following. She’s like at the Next Step and So you think you can dance. And so a lot of her followers would be looking at this stuff. And so I try to keep that in mind, the tweens generation! Which will be interesting because the show talks about the after thought, of what we thought we’d like to be when we grow up. And then we realize that those things we thought we’ll do, we’d actually never even think about.  I’m 28 now and some of my friends are turning 30 and I thought everybody was happy with what they were doing, but apparently almost everybody is second guessing.

Jhake: Do you think, when your following or your co-stars following will have a blast of reality when they see your show? Because, most of these tweens probably have a specific whimsical fantasy in mind about what job or life they’ll have. 

Evan: Of Course, definitely at the same time, it’s weird because I feel like I was writing this for myself. But at the same time, all is welcome because the series if compared to other established series out there, it is a mixture of Girls, Shameless, with a little will and Grace. And also, this series is a love letter to my best Girlfriends that I found true love with.

 

IMG_6180

Jhake: What were the biggest challenges on bringing this script to life?

Evan: Well, I don’t really think it’s challenging. But I see it as fun. I have a bucket of things I’d like to write and at some point it’s how you turn the work into a fun experience. Also, it has been an interesting process, because we are living from paycheck to paycheck. And there were times where I needed to sit back and measure my wins from my losses. Like right now, I found a producer who is fantastic and also is going to be directing some of the episodes. I also, just found a co-writer who is amazing!!! And it’s funny because I have been single for four and a half years, and now my dating is like, “Hmm, can I work with you?” and it’s just amazing how you realize that like in dating, not everybody can work with everybody. I mean, there are those people who just work together and there are those people who can make magic. So it’s so cool to say that I may be single but professionally, I’m having the best dating life.

Evan: There’s also that one thing that I’ve been thinking about and questioning myself, that I’m also exploring is that. ” It is bad to come out before you make it?”

Jhake: Do you think it matters?

Evan: Well, it’s this huge elephant in the room. Because, I had one of these experiences and it’ll kind of take place in an episode. And, I’m in a TIFF party (Toronto International Film Fest) and I met this beautiful guy, and he was great, we were flirting, hands on each others laps. And he was like “Do you want to go for a walk?” and we’ve touched etc but things got a little busy so we rescheduled to do it the next day. Then after that I didn’t hear from him. And I was crushed because, there was that connection between us. So, I looked him up and I sort off asked some of my friends who knew the person and they were like “Ohh he’s not gay” and I sort off asked like “are you sure?” and they said “trust us he’s not gay”. And at that point it kind off alarmed the hell out of me, because here I am, at the foot of the diving board ready to jump into this pool not knowing how it’ll be received. And now, I’m thinking how coming out as gay might ruin my entire career. Which is ironic because I’m writing this entire thing, to have a career.

Jhake: I guess fear will always comeback and haunt you.

Evan: Or I’m just writing about this horrible fear trying to see if anyone understands me. Without throwing it on everyones face.

At some point I guess that this comes down to masculinity, and how it defines the idea of leading man which is definitely exhausting. Which in the series my character will realize and somewhat battle with.

IMG_6245

Jhake: Do you think, the entertainment industry’s view of masculinity has a huge effect on the gay community?

Evan: Absolutely, I think it somewhat exhausts the whole pool of dating in the LGBT community. Everybody deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin, so that for the people who they want to give themselves they could, and not to be labeled as something. And at the same time it is exhausting because we live in a world where we don’t realize we are making segregation such as titles. And for every title, the ego gets bigger, and people gets offended when we use the wrong word.  And it becomes this whole thing where people want to feel like they belong that’s why they want a title.

Jhake: Do you think, it would open the minds of parents? Like, I know that at some point it’s easier to say we accept you but it’s harder to say I Love You.

Evan: Yes, I think what’s really important or my attempt is to not write the struggle. Because a lot of times, people we know, expect hearing that it’s going to be a painful response, and the fact that there are a lot of movies that are showing a painful side of the story. And it’s not easy, because we always get those painful things, but I think if we increase more of the positive things I think people would not think of victimizing. Because, it gets tiring being victimized, and I had a little trouble and bashing coming out at grade 12 and it was crazy. But after that I knew that anything I do for the rest of my life is going to be meaningful.

IMG_6259

Jhake: If you were able to pitch it your series and have a bigger celebrity be casted for your character or the whole cast, who’d it be?

Evan:  Hmm, as much as I would like to cast a big name, this whole thing is some what of a big fuck you to the industry. Because it’s suppose to give artists voices not to give artists who already have a big voice more presence.

Jhake: Okay, how about just one big name?

Evan: Okay one big name, I kinda feel like I did that with Bree, but if I were to choose just one, probably Rachel McAdams. Because she’s from Toronto, and I truly want this to be more authentic in Toronto. Because the goal is to showcase a lot of the Toronto talent.

Jhake: What’s your acting like? what kind of actor are you? I know for example Jared Leto is a method actor and takes in his character to heart. 

Evan: I feel like, as a gay kid, I learned to act when I was really young. One thing is because, I needed to learn what I needed to be. I learned to act to survive. I think for me, I’m just comfortable playing. We’re just big kids that are playing pretend.

Jhake: Last question, is there one type of character you’d like to try and portray?

Evan: OMG, there’s a lot but I think the cold guy, the one who does not have any emotions.

Jhake: is it because you’re always warm and fuzzy? or?

Evan: Definitely not always warm and fuzzy but I think I bring uncertainty with me all the time. So to be that confident, emotionless kind of character would be very interesting.

Frank and Oak X Chapter

Frank And Oak today announced its latest collaboration with Californianbrand, Chapter. The 10-piece collection follows Chapter’s minimalistic and monochromatic inspiration while capturing the simplicity and freshness at the core of Frank And Oak’s designs.

Inspired by ’90s culture, the collection brings this concept to life through the use of unorthodox, structured silhouettes counterbalanced by soft, malleable details such as raw detailing and washing. The form and disarray meet in a place of balance and harmony in this exclusive capsule collection of elevated basics.

“We are very excited to collaborate with a brand that evokes a sense of importance and emotion in their pieces,” says Ethan Song, co-founder and CEO of Frank And Oak“We appreciate Chapter’s forward-thinking vision and strong voice in the fashion community. With ingenuity and variation in mind, this partnership takes Frank And Oak’s designs in a new direction and we’re eager to offer this experimental capsule collection to our customers.”

“When we entered our initial conversations about collaborating, our goal was to encapsulate the building blocks of our collection and unveil the progressive view that Frank And Oak puts forward,” noted Devin Carlson, Creative Director of Chapter. “We knew the product would be timeless, fluent and would speak to what every man’s wardrobe should exude. The process was effortless; exactly what it should feel like when two creative teams come together.” 

The collection will be available online and in-store.

adidas Unveils Industry’s First Application Of Digital Light Synthesis with Futurecraft 4D

Digital Light Synthesis brings the most personalised performance products from imagination into physical reality

FUTURECRAFT4D_PRODUCT_DETAIL1

Through adidas’ obsession with helping athletes make a difference in their game, the brand unveiled today, Futurecraft 4D, the world’s first high performance footwear featuring midsoles crafted with light and oxygen using Digital Light Synthesis, a technology pioneered by Carbon. Futurecraft 4D is a fruition of adidas Futurecraft – the brand’s journey to define the future of craftsmanship through exploring new technology, design, and collaboration in order to provide the best for each athlete. Futurecraft 4D’s midsole is born out of 17 years of running data, and brought to functional reality through a pioneering digital footwear component creation process that eliminated the necessity of traditional prototyping or moulding. With the new technology, adidas now operates on a completely different manufacturing scale and sport performance quality, officially departing from 3D printing, bringing additive manufacturing in the sport industry into a new dimension.

FUTURECRAFT4D_PRODUCT_HERO_BLACK

“With Digital Light Synthesis, we venture beyond limitations of the past, unlocking a new era in design and manufacturing,” said Eric Liedtke, adidas Group Executive Board Member Responsible for Global Brands. “One driven by athlete data and agile manufacturing processes. By charting a new course for our industry, we can unleash our creativity- transforming not just what we make, but how we make it.”

Digital Light Synthesis is a breakthrough process pioneered by Carbon that uses digital light projection, oxygen-permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to generate high-performance, durable polymeric products. Futurecraft 4D is adidas’ first application of the Digital Light Synthesis, and represents the brand’s step into athlete-data driven design and manufacturing. With an ambition to create the ultimate running shoe for all, adidas analyzed its library of running data to shape functional zones into a midsole design crafted through Digital Light Synthesis. Unlike any traditional manufacturing technology, Digital Light Synthesis allows adidas to precisely address the needs of each athlete in regards to movement, cushioning, stability, and comfort with one single component. Carbon’s unique programmable resin platform offers unparalleled performance with respect to material durability and elastomeric responsiveness. Three hundred pairs of Futurecraft 4D will be released in April 2017 for friends and family, followed by more than 5000 pairs for retail in Fall/Winter 2017, and further scaling in the coming seasons.

FUTURECRAFT4D_PRINT_HERO

Digital Light Synthesis was created by CARBON, a Silicon Valley-based tech company working to revolutionize product creation through hardware, software, and molecular science. This new take on manufacturing enables adidas designers, sports scientists and engineers to bring even the most intricate designs of their imagination into physical reality. More importantly, it overcomes shortcomings of conventional additive manufacturing methods (i.e. 3D printing) such as low production speed and scale, poor surface quality, and colour and material restrictions. Without these limitations posed by traditional production methods, adidas can now bring the best and most innovative products to consumers faster than ever.

In 2014, through Futurecraft, adidas started exploring additive manufacturing as a tool to change the way products are created and launched Futurecraft 3D Runner, the brand’s first 3D printed performance footwear a year later. Today, adidas has revolutionized additive manufacturing with Carbon, and is committed to scaling and mass-producing Digital Light Synthesised footwear. The brand will continue to work with Carbon in developing new material and machinery to bring about future innovations. Digital Light Synthesis will become an integral part of Speedfactory, providing consumers with bespoke performance products tailored to their individual physiological data, when and where they desire.

FUTURECRAFT4D_PRODUCT_3MIDSOLES

“Despite the influence of technology to improve almost every other aspect of our lives, for eons the manufacturing process has followed the same four steps that make up the product development cycle – design, prototype, tool, produce,” said Dr. Joseph De Simone, Carbon Co-Founder and CEO. “Carbon has changed that; we’ve broken the cycle and are making it possible to go directly from design to production. We’re enabling engineers and designers to create previously impossible designs, and businesses to evolve their offerings, and FutureCraft 4D is evidence of that. Our partnership with adidas will serve as an ongoing testament to how the digital revolution has reached the global manufacturing sector, changing the way physical goods are designed, engineered, made, and delivered.”

miadidas ultrabooost_white
The customizable Primeknit upper provides a precision fit and maximum breathability, while the midsole technology returns energy with each step through your gait cycle. A supportive cage secures a locked-down fit.

adidas mi Ultra BOOST™ will be available Thursday April 13th online at adidas.ca

PlayStyle: Vertical Stripes

It is definitely getting warmer which means it’s just a matter of time until we start trading our winter coats into that Spring Style trend. Lately, we’ve been hearing about the stripe trend of either mixing two stripe patterns together or even just adding the pattern to your outfit. Stripes have been on our closets for a long time and it is time for it to take the spotlight again.

One way of wearing the stripe trend is through a variation of the thick and thin pattern. As shown above, you can either have one huge stripe in the middle of your clothing and have smaller stripes to accentuate it.

If that does not excite your stylebuds, then maybe the regular stripe looks will. This time ditch the pinstripes and wear something a little bit more wider.

Of course when it comes to the bottoms, the rule goes the same. Ditch the pinstripes and go for bolder stripes that will perfectly complement your shirt. Also, we only do vertical as it has one of the best tricks of making us look a little more slimmer and longer. Happy Shopping!!!!!
