Sean Baker’s latest feature, STARLET was chosen by Sight & Sound as one of the 30 films to see at BFI London Film Festival. Quite an honor to be on this list among so many important films. http://www.bfi.org.uk/news/london-film-festival-2012-30-recommendations

Yup. You can see Martin Donovan’s debut feature on the big screen next week (October 7th) if you are in Manchester, UK. Yup, this is the very same film that David Morse won the Best Actor Award for in Karlovy Vary. And it is the same one that I developed and Executive Produced. Let me know if you go. I think you’ll dig it. And if you don’t like it, send me your receipt, and I will reimburse you!

Vanessa has been filming a documentary on US/China diplomacy, tentatively entitled “The Forty Year Engagement”. Part of it follows the former US Ambassador to China, Jon Huntsman.

And it’s been getting great reviews. Music Box is set to release in the States late fall or early winter, and we have a whole long list of places you may be able to catch Starlet first. In fact there are six more prestigious fests that are to screen it that I could not list because they have yet to announce their line-ups. But check out all the places you can see it first:
