Tony award winning Glenn Close, Richard Dreyfuss and Gene Hackman starred on Broadway in this political thriller. Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley and Stuart Wilson starred in the movie version. Set in an unnamed country that is, like the author's native Chile, emerging from a totalitarian dictatorship, the play explores the after effects of repression on hearts and souls. Paulina Escobar's husband Gerardo is to head an investigation into past human rights abuses. A Dr. Miranda stops at the Escobars' to congratulate Gerardo. Paulina overhears them speaking and is convinced that Miranda supervised her prison torture sessions. She ties him to a chair and conducts her own interrogation, gun in hand. Escobar doesn't know whether to believe his distraught wife or his persuasive new friend. This white knuckle thriller is a riveting intellectual and emotional tug of war.

------- Freeky Creek Short Film Festival:  Call for Submissions -------

Freaky: \'fre-ke\ (adj.); weird, somewhat frightening, strange or unusual; bizarre; conspicuously or grossly unconventional.

If you’re an amateur filmmaker with a “freeky” film, we want to see it!  Sleepy Creek Vineyards is holding its first annual Freeky Creek Film Festival on Halloween weekend (Oct. 29 through Oct. 31) of 2010

We are seeking short films with running times no more than 20 min. (10 min. or less would be ideal) with freaky, frightening, and funny content in the spirit of the Halloween season.  Halloween is about scaring and being scared, but it’s also a time to mock the things that frighten us, so comedy is appreciated (but not required)!

"Lane and Russell" Crew Needed~KY

"Lane and Russell" Crew Needed

"Lane & Russell" will have its first big shoot on the 17th, 18th and 19th of September (weather permitting). The plan is to get every outdoor shot while it still pretty much looks like summer outside. I will be looking to add a couple of people to round out the crew. We will have a slot for one more PA - preferably someone who wants to jump in, learn, and help with grip gear setup under the supervision of a professional grip and do any other running around that might be needed.

Also, I am wanting to chronicle the production with as much behind the scenes footage as possible - with footage of shots as they are in progress as well as cast / crew interviews. The footage can be run and gun, but I am going to need someone who is fairly capable shooting still yet.

We'll be working on a larger scale geared towards theatrical release level production values. We'll be using the Red One cinema camera, a full grip truck, generator powered outdoor HMI lights, steadicam and a 24 ft. crane, professional storyboards, etc. The DP has several distributed features (Sony Pictures and Lionsgate) under his belt.
