White Collar rewatch (116/?) 4x11 Family Business

[0rph3u5]

“Hearing him in his own words – hearing hurt, hearing pain, hearing him curse – is going to be the first time many folks have ever experienced this side of Louis Armstrong. What’s important is that he is the one who left behind these tapes, so he really wanted this side to be known.

“It’s taken 51 years after his passing to get there.”

Directed by Emmy-nominated Sacha Jenkins, Apple Original Films is presenting the production by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Documentaries in association with Polygram Entertainment.

Hi! Will you be giving Christmas prompts this year?

Hi, Anon, we're glad you asked, and the answer is a resounding YES!

That's right, it's time to tell you all about our holiday creative event, a little something we're calling the White Collar Movie Heist, with prompts, umm . . . borrowed from classic holiday films. 😉

We see this as four weekly prompts and four weekly alternates, with each offering three separate sub-prompts. That means a total of EIGHT different prompts for each week of the month; that's a lot of creative options! But, as is usual for us, this is a pick and choose creative event, meaning you're free to use as many or as few of these prompts as you wish; we're certainly not here to pressure anyone.

Use the actual movie title in some capacity; choose one or more of the sub-prompts; work with the main prompt and one sub-prompt from the alternate; we really are not picky. We just want to encourage as much White Collar creativity as we possibly can.

As for the dates, we've set up the challenge this way because we'd like to encourage new creations throughout the entire month of December, but like most things, we're just not that strict. If something from the Die Hard prompt speaks to you on December 5th, well, we'll still be glad to see it!

As always, we're open to any type of fan creations, whether fiction, graphic arts, videos, poetry, blog posts, or anything you can think of. Did you make a cross-stitch of Neal, Peter, and the gang caroling in the snow? Snap a picture and share it with us. Dedicate a podcast episode to musings on the characters' holiday traditions? We want to hear it. When we say any fan creation, we really mean anything!

In terms of sharing, we'll have an AO3 collection for anything that can be shared there (which is really just about any fan work), so if you post there, definitely add to the collection. If you share on any other platform, just tag us and/or use the hashtags #WhiteCollarMovieHeist, #HolidayMovieHeist so we'll be sure to see it.

So, to summarize the event: make something next month about White Collar from the prompts and share so we can all enjoy it. That's really all there is to it. Oh, and have fun!
