Celebrate Filmmakers Alliance & Indie Film With Me!


What are you doing on August 19th? Are you going to be in LA? Why not help out a worthy cause? Filmmakers Alliance is honoring me and I would love to see you there.

Check it out here and order some tix here.
This is a highlight reel from past events. I am the first producer to be honored. I have to admit the past recipients are a pretty intimidating bunch.

Let’s Remake Star Wars!

Hey, let’s say you have nothing to do. Now we know that’s not true, because you are reading this, and there’s hundreds of things to do right here in Our Bowl. But let’s just pretend you had nothing to do.

Why not remake Star Wars with a little help from some friends? Some folks with plenty of good ideas decided to do this and you and your pals can join. 472 people (or teams of people, that is) each have the opportunity to remake 15 seconds of the film. When all is completed it will be stitched together and there will be a new version that YOU MADE! How cool is that?

Why Would You Star In An Indie Film? Giamatti & Rockwell explain it all

The other interview Christine Vachon and I did for FilmCatcher (before they changed direction) at Sundance this year is now up on YouTube. The sounds not great, but the content’s still revealing. It stars two of the greatest actors of our day (and that ain’t CV or me), so check it out.

Episode One:
Episode Two:
The whole 9 yards/episode is up on YouTube here:

These Are Those Things

R.I.P. Mink

Before I ever came to NYC I spent quite a bit of time dreaming of doing so. I wanted it to be a world where everyone was as cool as Mink DeVille. He definitely gets some of the credit for moving me off the basic R&R focus and onto the wild and diverse turf that is American music. Now, having realized our loss this week, I realize I have missed all the great stuff he did after those first few albums. I may have to start to buy music again!

I think “Stand By Me” is one of the greatest pop songs ever written. It should be mandatory cover material. Willy does it proud.

What’s It Like To Step BEHIND The Camera

Back at the beginning of the year, Christine Vachon and I sat down with Alan Cumming, Jeff Lipsky, and Lee Daniels to talk with them about what it was like to sit in the director’s chair after being established in other roles within the industry.

This is part one and part two of nine.
Part Two of Nine:

You can look at all nine installments, right here:

The Next Good Idea

The Google Of Films LEGALLY On The Web?

Speedcine beta launches.

Definitely a good idea.
Please don’t steal our creative work (or anyone’s work for that matter) unless we ask you to. Thanks.
