Sep 29, 2014 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich | 1 Comment The San Diego Film Festival is officially over after filling five days full of over 100 flicks, many of which will definitely be Oscar contenders this year.

Sep 11, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich While the Toronto Film Festival is obviously about movies, it’s also about spotting your favorite stars at premieres and mingling with them at after parties.

May 21, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich The 68th Cannes Film Festival is well underway and aside from the bizarre high heel controversy, it’s been going pretty well.

Yeah, the 48 Hour Film Project is kind of like that. Except, instead of Kiefer Sutherland, the heroes are a team of filmmakers. Instead of guns threatening to shoot civilians, they have camcorders in their place. And OK, instead of saving the U.S. from an attack, they're looking to save themselves a seat at the Cannes Film Festival. All this is done within a 48-hour window (see, same thing).... Read More |
