Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV with Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz

Today on The Neil Haley Show, Neil "The Media Giant" Haley and co-host Lefty of Legacy Filmmakers interview Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz. QUIET ON SET features unprecedented access to key cast members, writers, and crew spanning Schneider’s popular series at Nickelodeon. Cast and crew of All That, The Amanda Show, iCarly, Victorious, Sam & Cat, Zoey 101 and more reveal inappropriate on-set behavior, chronicling a pattern of gross, abusive, and manipulative activity that unfolded across decades. In addition, former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell (Drake & Josh) speaks publicly, for the first time, about the abuse he suffered at the hands of Brian Peck, his former dialogue coach who was convicted in 2004 for his crimes against Drake and ordered to register as a sex offender. Quiet on Set comes from Emmy Award-winning producer and director Mary Robertson. Mary was the showrunner of The New York Times Presentsdocumentaries Framing Britney Spears and Controlling Britney Spears, both critically lauded documentaries that touched off a reckoning on Spears' treatment, misogyny, conservatorships and tabloid culture. (In the wake of both films, Ms. Spears’s father was suspended as conservator and the judge terminated the conservatorship entirely.) Mary also helped create and executive produce The Weekly, whose first season garnered nine Emmy nominations and four wins as well as CNN’s Tricky Dick, a portrait of Richard Nixon that the Wall Street Journal featured in its year-end best of TV list. Emma Schwartz is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist. At Maxine, she divides her time between directing and developing documentary projects across the company’s slate.
