Edward Bass: All the world’s a stage

Hollywood maverick Edward Bass takes a cue from revered writer William Shakespeare when it comes to using his life as inspiration for his work. “All the world’s a stage” is the saying that begins a monologue from Shakespeare’s “As You Like It,” and Bass has taken that to heart.

His independent films, all of which have been highly acclaimed, have at some point or another been influenced by Bass’ experiences in life. His childhood pains and the myriad of challenges, experiences, and even trials he has gone through in life have all given him an edge in all three aspects of his Hollywood career. After all, he is a director, producer, and writer in one package.

Edward Bass is known for being driven and frank, and for standing up for his beliefs. These are some of the many reasons why he has earned the respect of his peers in the film industry. Early in his childhood, he learned firsthand from behind-the-scenes encounters with Hollywood personas such as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Harry Belafonte, Hinton Battle, the Nicholas Brothers, Milton Berle, and Toni Tennille.

Prior to concentrating on filmmaking, and releasing works such as the heart-wrencher “Bobby,” he was also a manager whose talent roster was so diverse that it included performers such as ballerinas and athletes such as boxers.
