GATEWORLD: Letting Go - John N. Smith Audio Interview
by Chad Colvin
Monday - February 14, 2011
As a television producer, N. John Smith has had a long and very fruitful career with a portfolio that stretches back to the mid-1970′s. His contributions to the Stargate franchise are innumerable — as he’s been a guiding production force at Bridge Studios in Vancouver since 1997 when his tenure began with the Stargate SG-1 Season One episode “Bloodlines.”
Ironically, our first interview with Smith also comes at a time of crossroads for the producer who, after so many years in the industry, has stepped back on many previous involvements (including the Stargate franchise) to concentrate more on things that are personal to him: hobbies, passions, and expanded time with family and friends.
GateWorld caught up with N. John Smith earlier last year when he was a guest on the Creation Entertainment Official Stargate Convention Tour. During our discussion with him, he talks about how he (by chance) began working in the industry, his relationships with the cast and crew, the difficulties in shooting two series at once, how the industry has changed in the past generation, his reasons for stepping away, and more!
Our interview with N. John Smith runs almost eighteen minutes, and is available in audio form for easy listening. It is also transcribed [at link above]
