CNBC Business has a great piece on how Slated is transforming film finance.
I’ve written some FAQs about Slated  and how it works.

Bonus:  There’s a photo of my feloow co-founders with big chessy grins up at Sundance this year.

SAGIndie Post

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.

Edwin is Toronto-bound

Posted on: August 10th, 2011 by wmapother 1 Comment

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.

Crazy Love from Louisville Media

Posted on: June 10th, 2011 by wmapother 2 Comments


The Flyover Film Festival kicks off tonight with Another Earth and my Q&A after, and the Louisville media has been absolutely fantastic in helping promote both the screening and the festival overall.  Both WAVE & WBKI hosted me on TV this morning, and I’ll be on Terry Meiners‘ show this afternoon.

Among the other lovers:
LeoWeekly
The Courier-Journal

St. Xavier HS
Friend of Lou
Fox 41

Looking forward to a fun weekend, and a great festival!
