SAGIndie Post

Posted on: October 19th, 2011 by wmapother No Comments

For indie filmmakers seeking help on how to use SAG actors in their productions, SAGIndie is a godsend. They hit the film festivals, conventions and trade shows to spread the word that running your production through the Guild is easy, fair and protective. They also have an extensive FAQ. I wrote a guest post for the site, and it’s now up. The same piece is also available on my Huffington Post blog.

The Toronto Film Festival welcomes one of its own. Citizen Gangster, in which I play a police detective in 1950 Canada, has been accepted into the Toronto Film Festival, which runs Sept 8-18.

Edwin‘s site for the festival is here, and the site for our Program, Special Presentations, is here.

The title character (right) is played by Scott Speedman. Of Canada.

Searchlight Praise. Plus, a video interview.

Posted on: June 30th, 2011 by wmapother 4 Comments

Fox Searchlight has been a dream come true for those of us associated with Another Earth.
• First, they bought the film at Sundance.
• Second, they cut a killer trailer and spread it far and wide.
• Third, they’re executing a fantastic marketing and publicity campaign.
• Fourth, every single person has been upbeat, organized, and fun to work with. What’s in the water over there?

Today we had a press day in LA. Monday we had press in NYC, where they recorded a video interview here.
