The Shakespearian comedy is out on DVD (actually August 26) Pop over to the Gold Cap Film's site and check out this funny, sweet, and entertaining comedy.
- Wowee! New York's MOMA is running a retro of Chris Smith's films ("American Job", "American Movie") on the occasion of the release of his new film "The Pool." (indiewire)
- If you are seriously mulling over becoming a trully indie DIY filmmaker/distributor, read Sujewa Ekanayake's post here
So, the good news, at least for some people who are worried about there being too many movies or too many good movies - making indie movies & getting them distributed has always been hard, and probably will always be so; meaning, only the deeply committed people - such people are usually few in number in most areas of life - will achieve a significant amount of success in the endeavor. Paper is cheap, but the world is not overrun with great literary masterpieces or even a ton of entertaining/creative books.
- It's probably been going on for awhile now but young Hollywood execs like blowing off steam by playing...X-Box.
It was dark and drizzling when screenwriter Justin Marks did what many in Hollywood have fantasized during their bleakest career moments: He attacked his agent with a chain saw.
Finally, a shot from Alpha Omega winery in Napa, CA where we had a nice cooling of the jets.
