Adam Yauch (1964-2012)
4 May 2012 6:57 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Michelle Williams, Kelly Reichart and Adam Yauch at a Meeks Cutoff party. Photographed by Nicholas Hunt © PatrickMcMullan.comAdam Yauch, McA of the Beastie Boys, has passed away at 47. I've been reading a few fine obits but I don't have much in a personal way to say. I liked the band a lot though I couldn't call myself a devotee; they (hip)hopped in and out of my life but were often somewhere to be found on my mix tapes (remember those?)
It's a major loss to both the music and movie worlds. Yauch took up many causes in his lifetime from the Right (To Party) to Free Tibet to Independent Film as a founder of Oscilloscope Laboratories. Kelly Reichardt and Michelle Williams careers just wouldn't have been the same without the fine job Oscilloscope did pushing the moving Wendy & Lucy and the unsettling Meek's Cutoff to audiences.

Adam Yauch's Oscilloscope: Here's Every Film Currently Available on Netflix Instant
4 May 2012 3:13 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
With the sad news today of Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch's passing (at the tragically early age of 47), we couldn't help but think of the man known as McA and Nathanial Hörnblowér's other legacy: as founder of independent film label Oscilloscope Laboratories. Oscilloscope started out as a recording studio, but began its foray into film in 2008 after distributing Yauch's directorial film debut - a documentary about high school basketball players - Gunnin' For That #1 Spot. The company has since gone on to release countless critically lauded documentaries and features, among them Kelly Reichardt's Wendy and Lucy (2008), Banksy's Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010), Evan Glodell's Bellflower (2011) and Lynne Ramsay's We Need...

By now, we've all heard the tragic news of Beastie Boy Adam Yauch's untimely death. Initially, the Beastie Boys' camp had no comment on the situation, but as news has spread, the band has released a heartfelt statement and obituary via their official website. You can read the statement in its entirety below.
It is with great sadness that we confirm that musician, rapper, activist and director Adam "McA" Yauch, founding member of Beastie Boys and also of the Milarepa Foundation that produced the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits, and film production and distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, passed away in his native New York City this morning after a near-three-year battle with cancer. He was 47 years old.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Yauch taught himself to play bass in high school, forming a band for his 17th birthday party that would later become known the world over as Beastie Boys. »

Michael K. Williams to Star as Ol' Dirty Bastard in Dirty White Boy
22 March 2012 5:09 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Parts & Labor's Lars Knudsen and Jay Van Hoy - the producing duo behind Mike Mills' Oscar-winning film Beginners which won Christopher Plummer his first Academy Award last month - announced today that they are partnering with Todd Hagopian at Ocean Size Pictures, to produce Dirty White Boy. Michael K. Williams (The Wire, Boardwalk Empire) is set to star as the late hip-hop artist Ol' Dirty Bastard (real name: Russell Jones).

The project originated with Hagopian's Ocean Size Pictures with the full support and »

SXSW '12 Interview: Director Brian Savelson Talks Intimate Drama 'In Our Nature'
8 March 2012 3:59 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
SXSW always has a fairly high nerd pedigree, with genre films, broad comedies, and outrageous midnight movies often claiming much of the spotlight. But you can see just as many wonderful, small-scale dramas at the Austin festival (we saw "Beginners" there for the first time last year, for instance) and it seems to be a good place where these types of films can be nurtured alongside the splashier SXSW fare. One of these movies in 2012 is "In Our Nature," a kind of outdoor chamber piece starring Zach Gilford, Jena Malone, John Slattery and Gabrielle Union. We talked to first time writer/director Brian Savelson about what it was like pulling together his debut feature, paying homage to couples-going-to-a-cabin-in-the-woods movies, what the movie has in common with French dramas, and what it's like having his "big premiere" at SXSW.
We started by asking how the film came together. Savelson is a »

David Doernberg, 1967 – 2012
5 March 2012 7:24 AM, PST | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
Production designer David Doernberg, who brought a sensitive, finely crafted and observant touch to many excellent independent films, died in New York on Friday after a battle with cancer.
Doernberg began his career in the late ’80s/early ’90s working on music videos for bands like Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo and Superchunk. He quickly moved into independent features, working as a propmaster for films by Hal Hartley (Amateur), Daisy von Scherler Mayer (Party Girl) and Eric Schaeffer (If Lucy Fell). Soon after he became a production designer, bookending his career with films by Kelly Reichardt. He designed her 1994 debut film, River of Grass, as well as her 2010 period tale of frontier life on the Oregon Trail, Meek’s Cutoff. Other notable credits include Phil Morrison’s Junebug, Alison Maclean’s Jesus’s Son, Morgan J. Freeman’s Desert Blue, Todd Solondz’s Palindromes and Pete Sollett’s Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. »

Meet the 2012 SXSW Filmmakers #8: Kahlil Hudson 'Low & Clear'
3 March 2012 8:00 AM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Directors Kahlil Hudson and Tyler Hughen found an unexpected autobiographical element to their fly fishing documentary "Low & Clear." The film offered the directors an opportunity to work together after several years apart, much like the protagonists of the film, who reunite for a fishing trip. The directors cite Kelly Reichardt's "Old Joy" as an inspiration for their film. What It's About: The documentary follows two old friends J.T. Van Zandt and Alex "Xenie" Hall on a winter fly fishing trip to Canada. As they attempt to reconnect, they struggle with how time has changed them and their friendship. Says director Kahlil Hudson: "Fly fishing is a meditative, internal and often lonely activity punctuated with brief, intense bouts of triumph and dispair--as J.T. puts it: a microcosm of life itself. We began filming without knowing where the story would lead, but with the confidence that whatever we discovered would reveal a truth. »

Whitney Biennial 2012
3 March 2012 1:36 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Quite the rave from Roberta Smith in the New York Times:
One of the best Whitney Biennials in recent memory may or may not contain a lot more outstanding art than its predecessors, but that's not the point. The 2012 incarnation is a new and exhilarating species of exhibition, an emerging curatorial life form, at least for New York.
Possessed of a remarkable clarity of vision, a striking spatial intelligence and a generous stylistic inclusiveness, it places on an equal footing art objects and time-based art — not just video and performance art but music, dance, theater, film — and does so on a scale and with a degree of aplomb we have not seen before in this town. In a way that is at once superbly ordered and open-ended, densely structured and, upon first encounter, deceptively unassuming, the exhibition manages both to reinvent the signature show of the Whitney Museum of American »
Paul Dano Explains His Process For 'Being Flynn,' Working With Robert De Niro & More
1 March 2012 7:59 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Paul Dano certainly hasn't been lacking in talented on screen sparring partners, and over the years he's impressively shared screen time with Daniel Day-Lewis ("There Will Be Blood"), Steve Carell ("Little Miss Sunshine"), Tom Cruise ("Knight And Day") and Harrison Ford ("Cowboys And Aliens") but in "Being Flynn," he works with the most celebrated actor of them all: Robert De Niro. In the adaptation of the memoir "Another Bullshit Night In Suck City," Dano plays his son, long estranged from his father, who crosses paths with him at the homeless shelter where he works, forcing the pair to face their past.
The Playlist sat down with Dano a few weeks ago in New York to talk about his role in the film, acting opposite De Niro and some of the projects he has on the horizon.

The Films Of Hal Hartley: A Retrospective
29 February 2012 12:00 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Imagine if Woody Allen, Whit Stillman, Kevin Smith and the Sundance Institute had a love child. This ungainly creature, speaking in witty, heightened, unnaturalistic sentences, and ambling, sometimes shambling between comedy, tragedy and pretension, might very well go on to make films that greatly resemble those of Hal Hartley.
Hartley is the man behind such beloved (at least by some) ‘90s indie films as “The Unbelievable Truth” and “Trust.” But to put him into proper context, we find ourselves casting around for parallels: he simply never made enough of a dent in mainstream sensibilities to be able to describe his work to a neophyte without reference to other, more overtly successful filmmakers. Or musicians, perhaps – if we play the equivalents game with the alt-rock explosion of the ‘90s, we get Quentin Tarantino as Nirvana, Jim Jarmusch as Sonic Youth and Kevin Smith as, maybe, Smashing Pumpkins (revered early on, but »

Paul Dano Reveals The Music Playlists That Help Him Get Into Character Plus 5 Clips From Paul Weitz's 'Being Flynn'
29 February 2012 8:46 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
One of the brightest young talents rising right now in Hollywood is Paul Dano. Since breaking out with "Little Miss Sunshine" and "There Will Be Blood," the actor has kept a low profile, preferring supporting roles in bigger films ("Knight And Day," "Cowboys & Aliens") and much smaller indie fare ("For Ellen," "Meek's Cutoff").
Dano has a few projects in the works at the moment, including the soon to be retitled "He Loves Me," a reunion with 'Sunshine' directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris that shot last summer; another reunion planned for this summer with Kelly Reichardt for the thriller "Night Moves," and a role in Rian Johnson's long-awaited "Looper," which is due out this fall. Before all that, however, the actor is starring opposite Robert De Niro in Paul Weitz's "Being Flynn," and recently took the opportunity during press rounds to discuss with Vulture the music playlists that »

2012 Oscar Prediction: Best Director
26 February 2012 7:00 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Film directors are responsible for every single aspect of their movie. That doesn’t mean they actually do each and every task on set, but it’s their job (and prerogative) to get each element just right. It’s a lot of responsibility, and judging by the nominees for this year’s Best Director, it’s clearly too much for a woman to handle. Sorry, Kelly Reichardt, Lynn Ramsay, and Sarah Polley…maybe you can bake something nice for the boys who were nominated? For the record, the director who should walk away with the Oscar this year isn’t even nominated. Nicolas Winding Refn deserved (at least) a nomination for Drive as he was able to craft something of raw beauty from some seemingly disparate parts. The film’s look and style, its exquisitely jarring shifts from calm to explosive, and its unexpectedly affecting score and soundtrack all make for a unique cinematic experience. The »

Kelly Reichardt’s ‘Night Moves’ Aiming For Summer Shoot With Paul Dano; His Next With ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ Directors To Arrive This Year
21 February 2012 2:16 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Paul Dano is an actor who may not be recognizable among the average mainstream movie-watcher, but has established quite a following among certain film circles. Moving between indie films such as Little Miss Sunshine and Taking Woodstock, with more larger scale productions like There Will Be Blood and the upcoming Looper, he is doing nothing to hurt his cause and makes for a striking presence. Hopefully his talent will get him more noticed by the average viewer, but he’s still young, and it seems likely his time will come.
Despite not being a leading man yet, he’s still a prolific actor. As such, he has a number of projects coming up in the next couple of years. One of those is a reunion with his Meek’s Cutoff director, Kelly Reichardt, another person whose name does not have the familiarity their talent deserves. The film is a drama, »

Berlinale 2012 – Francine Review
20 February 2012 9:03 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Melissa Leo is the eponymous anti-hero in this disarming look at North America’s dispossessed.
Written by Georgie Hobbs
Francine’s first shot shows Leo stark naked, showering in prison. It’s her last day in detention before she’s released back into the world. It’s a staggeringly brave image – in a film which offers a series of arresting, unexpected images – and one that most actresses over 50 wouldn’t consider, especially those coming off an Oscar high. Like that shower shot of Carey Mulligan in Shame, we’re shown what award-winning actresses tend to hide; slouchy paunch, ratty (body) hair, slumped shoulders.
We then follow a wordless Francine as she moves into a tiny bungalow overlooking a picturesque lake in the Hudson Valley. It’s not made clear what she did to get locked away, or how long was gone, just that she’s emerged a loner who only finds solace in animals. »

Cassidy And Shatzky’S “Francine” Debuts In Berlin
15 February 2012 3:37 PM, PST | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
David Rooney’s Hollywood Reporter review of Brian Cassidy and Melanie Shatzky’s tough, piercing American independent character drama Francine, which premiered this week in Berlin, is masterful. As noted also by Jeffrey Wells, Rooney approaches the film on its own terms, and distills in his prose strengths that would be ignored or misconstrued by another critic.
From the review:
A minimalist, image-based character study that is almost impossibly fragile and yet emotionally robust, Francine is a legitimate discovery. It’s propelled by Melissa Leo’s remarkable title-role performance, rigorous in its honesty and unimpeded by even a scrap of vanity. Made on a shoestring, this first narrative feature from husband-and-wife filmmaking team Brian M. Cassidy and Melanie Shatzky is raw, intimate and observed with penetrating acuity.
The austere approach and stark naturalism invite comparison with the work of Kelly Reichardt, and the subject specifically recalls Wendy and Lucy. (Producers »

Paul Giamatti, Paul Rudd and Sally Hawkins Team Up For Lucky Dog
9 February 2012 12:45 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
News has emerged out of the Berlin International Film Festival concerning director Phil Morrison's long-awaited follow-up to his breakthrough debut Junebug, which launched its supporting player Amy Adams to stardom by earning her an eye-catching Academy Award nod. Morrison also drew praise, but then receded from the spotlight, serving as executive producer on indie writer-director Kelly Reichardt's two acclaimed, Michelle Williams-fronted dramas Wendy and Lucy and Meek's Cutoff. However, now Deadline reveals Morrison will return to the director's chair next month to shoot Lucky Dog, a comedy set and shot in New York City. The film, penned by Melissa James Gibson, will follow the humorous exploits of a couple of ever-feuding French-Canadian con men who decide to team up to make some quick cash selling Christmas trees on the streets of New York. English sweetheart Sally Hawkins (Made in Dagenham) is set to co-star alongside keen comedic »
Paul Dano Talks For Ellen, Looper, Being Flynn, He Loves Me, Night Moves, and More at Sundance 2012
1 February 2012 5:50 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
One of the many films to premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival was writer-director So Young Kim's (In Between Days) For Ellen. Led by a fantastic performance by Paul Dano, the film's about a struggling musician trying to keep custody of his very young daughter even though he's never been around. The film also stars Jon Heder, Jena Malone, Margarita Levieva, and Shay Mandigo. Shortly after seeing the film I got to sit down with Dano for an extended interview. We talked about being at Sundance, how he got involved in For Ellen, what it's about, who he plays, how much fun he had playing a "narcissistic prick," what it's like to be in almost every frame of the movie, and if more people want to talk to him about The Girl Next Door, Little Miss Sunshine, or There Will Be Blood? In addition, with Dano involved in so many other projects, »
