Vincent Grashaw produced, edited and acted in SXSW's 2010 hit "Bellflower," written, directed and starring his fellow Coatwolf Productions pal Evan Glodell. Now he's back in Austin with "Coldwater," his feature directorial debut, which he also co-wrote. The testosterone-fueled drama centers on a teenage boy (Ryan Gosling look-a-like Pj Boudousque) sent to a privately run reform boot camp for misbehaving youth. Things go downhill fast--and with a lot of violence. Grashaw uses an unknown cast to weave the tale, bringing attention to real-life cases that inspired the story of guidance gone wrong. Sophia Savage: How did making 'Coldwater' compare with 'Bellflower'? Vincent Grashaw: 'Bellflower' and 'Coldwater' were two different beasts. 'Bellflower' was an example of getting a film made at all costs, with zero money. I threw myself into something that took almost three years of my life to complete. It forced us to think out of the box… »

Ken Marino (Burning Love, Party Down) stars in the SXSW-screening horror-comedy Milo as a man with a homicidal monster living in his butt.
That’s right: In. His. Butt.
“Milo came out of professional jealousy,” recalls writer-director Jacob Vaughan. “I was talking to a friend of mine who ended up being the cowriter, Benjamin Hayes. We were complaining about an acquaintance who had gotten money to make a horror film. We had read the script and we didn’t think it was very good. I started talking about early Cronenberg movies and how his horror was so much more interesting because it was about something. »

It is a nice coincidence that the trailer for a new documentary about filmmaker John Milius should arrive as the Big Lebowski is celebrating its 15th anniversary, given the writer-director was one of the inspirations for John Goodman’s war-obsessed gun nut Walter Sobchak. But the clip for Milius also serves as a reminder that that piece of trivia is one of the less interesting things about this larger-than-life character who brought us Big Wednesday, Conan the Barbarian, Dillinger, and Red Dawn, and who also cowrote Apocalypse Now and had a hand in penning the U.S.S. Indianapolis monologue in Jaws. »

Vincent Grashaw made a gasoline-scented splash by both producing and appearing in 2011′s indie drama Bellflower, a twisted tale of Mad Max fandom and curdled love. Now Grashaw is making his directorial debut with the SXSW-screening Coldwater, which details a teenage boy’s struggle for survival at a juvenile reform facility in the wilderness.
“I played on a tournament hockey team growing up,” Grashaw told EW last year. “I remember one day our goalie wasn’t at practice and we all wondered what had happened. Turned out his parents sent him to a private juvenile program in the middle of nowhere. »

In hindsight, the timing could not have been better. On the 5th of November 2011, the Us indie film Bellflower marked its UK premiere at the annual Leeds International Film Festival. As the closing credits rolled, the audience stumbled out of the dark and into the cold. It was misty. The air smelled of gunpowder. It was, of course, Bonfire Night, and the perfect environment for Bellflower.
With its incredible finale still thundering in my mind, I immediately anticipated its general release date. The bad news is I’m still waiting. A film festival breakthrough on both sides of the pond, it enjoyed a limited run in Us cinemas but – barring that fortnight in November – is yet to grace the screens of our green and pleasant land. Fortunately, the film can look forward to a resurgence on Netflix (although, again, this is Us only) and DVD (with Region 1 available now and »

"Coldwater," directed and co-written by "Bellflower" producer Vincent Grashaw, follows the story of a teenage boy who is forcefully taken from his home and put into a reform facility in the middle of the wilderness. "Coldwater" shines the spotlight on the many pressing issues concerning juvenile rehabilitation in the United States. What it's about: A teenage boy is sent to a juvenile reform facility in the wilderness. As we learn about the tragic events that sent him there, his struggle becomes one for survival with the inmates, the counselors, and with the retired war colonel in charge. What was your biggest challenge in bringing "Coldwater" to the screen? Getting someone to commit to funding the film was the biggest challenge - as it always is when it comes to making movies. I started writing the script at 18 years old in 1999. Over these years, it was almost made several times, with name actors, »

This week’s spotlighted project is sure to be a success. In less than three days of being announced, Chuck Hank and the San Diego Twins has already raised more than half of its $60,000 goal. And there are 42 days left. No surprise, though, because who doesn’t want to see the next movie from the team that brought us Bellflower? I don’t even know if I need to say anything more. If you’ve seen Bellflower and you love it (some of you don’t, which is unfortunate), you’ll want to see what other insanity comes out of the minds of its makers. Once again there will be awesome cars, flamethrowers, but there will also be a lot of fights, a speed boat sequence and other great action sequences — if they can afford it all. Basically they’re doing this all Diy and can almost do it on their own, except »

With all the major SXSW festival announcements over the past few weeks, we were thrilled to see news about a few former fest favorites circulating. Evan Glodell's autogeddon Bellflower was a major hit with genre fans. The filmmaker and his Coatwolf Productions will be paying homage to 1980s side-scrolling video games and action films with Chuck Hank and the San Diego Twins. Streets of Rage and Double Dragon enthusiasts will be pleased to see Glodell and Tyler Dawson on the screen once more, this time embarking on a turf war in a place called Oldtown. The Syndicate is an "evil gang of crank-head misfits" who want the San Diego family off their land. Tony and Johnny are twin brothers, and their sister Salsa makes three. They're the last of a...

The fight continues. Mark Rappaport is still struggling to regain possession of his work from Ray Carney. For an up to date take on the ordeal, check out Craig Hubert's piece in Artinfo. The team behind the 2011 film Bellflower have another project in the works and will be looking to crowdfunding.
Finds.
Above: the trailer for Denis Côté's new film, Vic+Flo Saw a Bear, set to premiere in Berlin later this week. Aaron Cutler reports on Rotterdam for Fandor:
"Each year, it seems, the retrospectives and sidebar programs of rare treasures merit the eagerness of Iffr attendees, many of whom share the open secret that the programming’s ostensible central sections—competitions between new films, many receiving their world premieres—contain several of the weakest films in town. While lightning sometimes strikes (such as last year’s Neighboring Sounds), it’s rare for a wonder to debut here. »

When it comes to video game-themed movies that aren't actually based on any existing video games, the list is pretty short. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Wreck-It Ralph, and the Sundance stinker Virtually Heroes come to mind, and it looks as if that niche subgenre is about to receive one more entry.
The Playlist reports that the team behind the apocalyptic love story Bellflower is teaming up for a follow-up feature called Chuck Hank and the San Diego Twins that's inspired by side scrolling video games from the 1980s. Here's the official synopsis:
A turf war has been raging in Oldtown for generations. On one side, The Syndicate – an evil gang of crank-head misfits, who has been set on muscling the San Diego family out of the parcel of land they own in the center of town. On the other side, the San Diego family: Tony and Johnny – twin brothers, »

The Micro-Indie That Could, Bellflower was one of the most fiercely debated movies of last year; but one of my personal favourites. Love it or hate it, you have to admire the incredible risks by first time writer-producer-director-editor and star Evan Glodell, who tells a completely unorthodox story in an altogether reckless manner. Fans of the film will be happy to know, the filmmakers are back with their sophomore effort, and they are looking to you for additional funding.
Coatwolf Productions, the team behind Bellflower, has officially launched the kick-off crowdfunding campaign for their forthcoming release, Chuck Hank and The San Diego Twins – a project described as “influenced heavily by ‘80s action films and side-scrolling fighting games.” The film is written and directed by Jonathan Keevil (the man who scored, produced and edited Bellflower), and stars the Bellflower duo of Tyler Dawson and Evan Glodell. The team has released some test footage, »

Evan Glodell and his "Bellflower" team are back in the saddle for "Chuck Hank and the San Diego Twins." The multi-hyphenate is handing over directing reins to Jonathan Keevil (who scored "Bellflower") and is serving as producer and actor. They are also reuniting with "Bellflower" star Tyler Dawson and Dp Joel Hodge. They are using IndieGoGo to raise funds; the promo video takes place in a car, just like our interview with them. The film aims to be a surrealist action/drama set unabashedly in the '80s. You can watch the promo below. "Bellflower" is an example of a filmmaking team that were introduced at Sundance. The film's producer Vincent Grashaw went on to write and direct "Coldwater," which is debuting at SXSW next month. Glodell is still working on writing his next film. Another breakout from Sundance 2011 was Brit Marling, co-writer, producer and star of both "Another Earth" (director Mike. »

One of the most memorably twisted indie films of recent times was undoubtedly 2011′s micro-budgeted Bellflower — an apocalyptically minded tale of Mad Max fandom and a love affair which goes horribly awry. The Sundance-screened movie was made by a collective of filmmakers known as Coatwolf, whose membership includes writer-director Evan Glodell and producer-composer Jonathan Keevil. Today, the Coatwolf crew announced that their next project, the Keevil-directed action movie Chuck Hank and the San Diego Twins, will feature molotov cocktails, a high-speed car chase, and “a massive bone-crushing 30 person street brawl.” The (fairly reasonable) catch? You have to help pay for it. »

No one saw Evan Glodell and his Coatwolf team coming when their debut film Bellflower took Sundance by storm a few years back. That ain't gonna happen a second time. The rumbling sound you're hearing right now is the groundswell of support brewing for the crowdfunding campaign that Coatwolf just launched for their second feature, Chuck Hank and the San Diego Twins. Produced by Glodell and directed by Bellflower producer/composer/editor Jonathan Keevil, the film is described by Coatwolf as a "surrealist action/drama influenced heavily by '80s action films and side-scrolling fighting games like Streets of Rage and Double Dragon." Sounds like a riot. Both Glodell and Tyler Dawson return in front of the camera as well. Here's the official synopsis: A turf war has...

Grimy, intimate and often certifiably insane, if you’ve seen the 2011 indie hit Bellflower, than you at least have an opinion of it. We more or less fell in love with Evan Glodell‘s twisted, homespun creation and now after a lengthy worldwide festival tour and distribution by Oscilloscope Laboratories, we’ve finally got word on what the filmmakers are [...] »

Coatwolf Productions, the production team that created the 2011 Sundance hit "Bellflower," announced today the launch of a new crowdfunding campaign for their next film, the excellently titled "Chuck Hank and The San Diego Twins." The full-length feature, described as "a surrealist action/drama influenced heavily by '80s action films and side-scrolling fighting games," follows a San Diego turf war between two rival gangs. Director Jonathan Keevil says of the film "we want to create a visually rich world that honors, but doesn't exploit, a time when a street fight necessitated brass knuckles, chains, cut-off jean jackets, and Huge Mohawks." The campaign, powered by popular crowdfunding hub Indigogo, offers a variety of perks for those who wish to support the production, ranging from personal thank-yous and Blu-rays of the finished film to premiere tickets and an opportunity to shadow the filmmakers through the entire »
