Contrary to the film's misleading title, it's actually a quaint little independent romantic drama that somehow manages to exploit the angst-filled and awkward… Full Story »

Woodshop
DVD Verdict &bull Sep 8, 2010
When it comes to High School, there's no better way to for kids from different backgrounds to bond than to spend a Saturday together in detention. Just ask The Breakfast Club, and Pete Coggan's debut film Woodshop. Trading the quiet library setting for the hum of power tools, Woodshop takes a lot of cues from the John Hughes classic, while also building something of its own. Unfortunately, Coggan isn't able to decide what kind of movie he wants it to be,… Full Story »

Hollywood must plot a new course to win back its audience
The Guardian - Film &bull Sep 7, 2010
Alternative media and innovative multi-platform storytelling are set to challenge a complacent film industry And so the four-day Labor Day holiday is over and summer comes to an end in Hollywoodland. As the shadows stretch across the manicured lawns of the studio grounds, there will be plenty to think about. The blockbuster season that started in May with the enjoyable hit Iron Man 2 will most likely creep past summer 2009 for a new record. But even if the predictions of Hollywood.com and similar box office analysts are correct and the combined revenues reach $4.4bn (2.9bn) or thereabouts - beating… Full Story »

Going Bionic: Distributing Independent Films Internationally - "The Budget Game"
Film Threat &bull Sep 7, 2010
During my time in international distribution, I've seen several $1,000,000 documentaries that should have been made for ten times less, and a few $100,000 features that should have been made for ten times more. In both scenarios, the producers always try to use their film's budget as leverage in negotiating sales. The problem is most producers never realize that unless their film is laced with a star-studded cast, their budget has little to do with the value of their film to distributors. For example, if a producer spends north of $1,000,000 on a documentary while other like-minded documentaries are being… Full Story »
