‘Produced By’ Conference

Posted on: May 30th, 2011 by wmapother 5 Comments

Next Sat the Producers Guild is hosting on the Disney lot their big ‘Produced By‘ Conference.  I’ve been asked to appear on a panel.  The panel’s topic is not, in fact, on how to Kill with a Look.  : )   It’s the much more mundane, but more helpful, ‘The Influence of Professional Talent on Indie Projects.’

The Panel details (Sat at 9:45am) are on this page, my bio is here, a list of all speakers is here, and the egos in the room are represented by this shot of animals here.

There are a lot of terrific speakers.  It should be a blast.

Flyover!

Posted on: May 25th, 2011 by wmapother 5 Comments


A few years ago some friends and I started Flyover Film Festival in Louisville, KY, and the third annual one is coming up this June 10-12.

Ryan Daly, our festival director, has assembled a fantastic line-up for this year.  The details are here.

And Another Earth (trailer here), which doesn’t open in NY & LA until July 22 (the release after that is still t.b.d.), is opening the festival.  It plays at 7pm on Friday, June 10, at the KY Center for the Arts.

This may be the only chance to see it in Louisville on the big screen.  I’m just sayin’..

KY’s Civil Importance

Posted on: May 9th, 2011 by wmapother 3 Comments


(Okay, so I’ve been a bit absent lately.  I’m putting more of my updates on Twitter and Facebook these days..)

In honor of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the NYT has been running a wonderful series of articles on the war called ‘Disunion.’  It’s here.

On Derby Day, appropriately enough, the piece was on Kentucky and its importance to both sides.  It’s fascinating, I think, and can be found here.
