My love of movies and the filmmaking craft developed at a young age. I grew up in movie theaters and video stores, watching everything at my disposal and soaking up as much information as possible to unlock the secrets of “movie magic.” In elementary school I started making short stop-animation films with toys and my parents’ camcorder and spent countless hours writing stories. My interest didn’t wane in my teens as I regularly wrote movie reviews for the Green Bay Press Gazette and worked for a local movie theater.
Following high school I took my pursuit of filmmaking to the next step by enrolling in the nation’s largest film program at Columbia College Chicago. My time at Columbia allowed me to train in many facets of the filmmaking process including writing, producing, directing, editing, cinematography, and sound mixing/design. My hard work and dedication to my education resulted in being selected as one of four directors to helm an Advanced Practicum Production – Columbia’s most prestigious program. The Practicum was a rigorous semester long short film project designed to match the intensity of a professional movie studio production that included managing a crew of over a hundred people throughout the writing, shooting, and post-production processes. At the end of my time at Columbia I graduated magna cum laude.
Although my work was being recognized at several film festivals, I was still contemplating how to best apply my newly refined filmmaking skills. In researching vendors for my own wedding I realized there was lack of videography options in Northeast Wisconsin, and those I could find did not meet my expectations in regards to quality and value. Out of my frustration I realized I had the perfect opportunity to use my talents and knowledge. I established ADC-Video with the mission to provide affordable wedding videography options to capture the story of the wedding day in a truly cinematic fashion. My videos are considered "full-length," I include as much content as possible resulting in videos that are typically over an hour long. As a videographer I only use the highest quality professional equipment including two full HD cameras, two powerful microphones plus a smaller clip-on mic and a digital recorder that plugs directly into the venue's sound system, various situational-based image stabilization equipment, and industry standard editing software.
I look forward to working with you to create a video that will preserve the memories of your wedding and last a lifetime!

- Anand Raj
Born and brought up in Puducherry, Tamil film actor Anand Raj, known for portraying negative roles in several films will be playing a don in the upcoming action comedy film Action Jackson. This will also mark his Bollywood debut, for which he went through a year of intense training and lost about 12 kilos, to sport a certain look, that director Prabhudeva expected of him.
Another Kollywood actor, Sathyaraj, who began his career with villainous roles, played the main antagonist in the action-comedy film Chennai Express, as the headman of the local mafia and Deepika’s dominant father. This also marked his entry into the Bollywood film industry. Currently, the film is the second highest-grossing Bollywood film worldwide and third in India. Apart from his film career, Sathyaraj is also a famous media personality and has been quite vocal about issues like the water rights in Tamil Nadu.
- Prakash Raj
Highly popular in the South Indian Film Industry, Prakash Raj is an Indian film actor, producer, director as well as a television presenter. He has played negative roles in various Bollywood films, including Wanted (2009), Singham (2011) and Dabangg 2 (2012). Due to his fluency in diverse Indian languages, like Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Marathi, Hindi and English, Prakash Raj has become one of the most sought after actors in India.
Veteran south Indian actor Raghuvaran became famous for portraying villain roles predominantly in Tamil films. Even though he died an untimely death at the age of 49 due to his habit of excessive alcohol consumption, Raghuvaran managed to act in over 200 Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Hindi films. Izzatdaar (1990), Rakshak (1995), Hitler (1998) and Lal Baadshah (1999) are some of the Hindi films in which he portrayed the role of a villain.
- Rami Reddy
Known for his negative roles, Rami Reddy was popular in Telugu cinema. However, he failed to become a successful director or producer. Before entering the film industry, Reddy worked as a journalist. He acted in over 250 films, in languages including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi and Bhojpuri. He played the role of a villain in the Bollywood action film titled Pratibandh.

It's time to visit animal house. No, not the film about the party-hardy fraternity. This house provides a home for films featuring live-action animals in significant roles. In other words, no animated animals are allowed in, though animals created with special effects will be accepted.
The problem with writing about films with animated animals is that there's so many of them that Noah couldn't fit them all on a fleet of arks. Films with live-action animals are far less numerous, basically because many of these critters don't take direction well. Others present a safety issue. "Oops, our hippo just crushed Tom Cruise." Of course, films where live-action animals, or at least their computer-generated cousins, do munch on or manhandle mankind provide much of the entertainment.
The following column includes my personal favorites and is not meant as an exhaustive list of all films featuring live-actions animals. I may even unintentionally leave out an animal. Maybe someone has made a memorable movie about dung beetles. The list is presented in animal alphabetical order.
APES - We'll include all manner of simians here. The candidates include many, though not all of the "Planet of the Apes" films, many, though definitely not of all the "King Kong" films, "Congo," "Gorillas in the Mist," "Every Which Way But Loose," various “Tarzan” films and, of course, "Bedtime for Bonzo."
Tough choice here between the original "Planet of the Apes" (1968) and "King Kong" (either the 1933 original or the 2005 remake). A soft spot in my heart belongs to the real-life orangutan in "Every Which Way But Loose" since he’s really acting. But in terms of cinematic caliber, the vote here goes to “Planet of the Apes." There's no monkey business with Charlton Heston, folks.
BIRDS – The candidates include “The Birdman of Alcatraz,” “March of the Penguins,” “The Last Parrots of Telegraph Hill,” “Fly Away Home,” “Winged Migration,” “Paulie” and “The Birds.”
Lot of quality on the wing here, but it’s rare to see a real animal, or in this case real animals, wreaking havoc in a live-action film as the far-from-feathered friends do in “The Birds.” Granted, they don’t actually gouge out Suzanne Pleshette’s eyes, but director Alfred Hitchcock makes you think they did. It's a serious pecking order. Sorry, I can’t help myself.
CATS – All manner of felines are welcome here. The candidates include “Harry & Tonto,” “The Cat People,” “Born Free,” “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey,” “The Adventures of Milo and Otis,” “Keanu,” “Life of Pi,” and, of course, “The Wizard of Oz.”
Some more difficult choices. “Born Free” really got to me when I saw it as a youngster, but I was more amazed by the story told in “Life of Pi’ where, after a shipwreck, a boy is stranded on a lifeboat with a tiger. Don’t try that on your dinghy, kids.
CETACEANS – Say what? They’re marine mammals that we all know and love as dolphins, porpoises and whales. The candidates include “Dolphin Tale,” “The Cove,” “Eye of the Dolphin,” “Blackfish,” “Flipper” (the 1963 version), “Whale Rider,” “Free Willy,” “Namu, the Killer Whale, “Orca” and “Moby Dick.”
The most compelling films here are the documentaries: “The Cove” about the dolphin hunting practices in Japan and “Blackfish” about orcas in captivity. Neither film is easy to watch - definitely not for the children. Much more family friendly is the masterful “Whale Rider” about a girl, who, well, rides whales, much to the dismay of her elders. It’s a male thing, don’t you know. The film earned a best actress Oscar nomination for 13-year-old Keisha Castle-Hughes.
CROCODILES – We’ll include alligators here. This is hard category from which to pick a quality candidate because so many crocodile/alligator movies fall into the “so bad they’re good” category. Clearly most of these films like "Rogue" aren’t for the squeamish, and they’re not meant to be. The more human body parts removed the better. The “Crocodile Dundee” films are about as family-friendly as these reptilian movies get.
“Lake Placid” gets my vote here as it actually features a talented cast (Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Oliver Platt and even Betty White appear as potential gator bait), decent production values, a tongue-in-cheek script and solid direction from Belmont’s own David E. Kelley, aka Mr. Michelle Pfeiffer. The giant alligator turns in the best acting performance.
DOGS – We’ll welcome wolves here but not werewolves. The candidates include “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey,” “Best in Show,” “Iron Will,” “Benji,” “Lassie Come Home,” “Marley & Me,” “Turner & Hooch,” “The Adventures of Milo and Otis,” “Beethoven,” “White Fang,” “My Dog Skip,” “Dances with Wolves,” “A Dog’s Purpose” and “Old Yeller.”
So which of these movies makes you cry (or laugh) more? From a very strong category, I’ll have to go with the one that made me blubber as a child – “Old Yeller.” The highs and lows of dog ownership as experienced by a young boy in a tale expertly told. As an adult, “Homeward Bound” had me repeatedly reaching for Kleenex.
DRAGONS – OK, these creatures aren’t real, but who cares? They’re really cool – gigantic, flying fire breathers. What’s not to like?
The candidates include “Willow,” “Dragonslayer,” “Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers,” “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” “Reign of Fire,” “Maleficent,” “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” “Dragonheart,” “The NeverEnding Story” and “Peter’s Dragon” (the 2016 film, not the 1977 cartoon).
I suppose the pick here depends on whether you like your dragons ferocious or friendly. Since dragons are typically portrayed as villains, I’ll choose a film where the dragon is a hero. My choice here is “Pete’s Dragon,” a winning story about the friendship between boy and beast. Smaug gets my vote as the best villain as he has attitude along with a scaly mean streak.
ELEPHANTS – Plenty of movies feature elephants, most of them doing to a disservice to pachyderms. “Operation Dumbo Drop,” anyone? The winner by default in “Water for Elephants,” a romance under the big top starring Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon.
FISH – Not much to choose from here. “A Fish Called Wanda” is arguably the best film with a fish in a supporting role. The best film with a fish in a leading role is unquestionably “Piranha,” the 1978 horror film written by John Sayles before he was an Oscar-winning director. OK, the movie is an obvious “Jaws” rip-off but it rips off the 1975 shark film with biting humor.
FROGS – The 1972 horror film “Frogs” wins by default. Hey, it stars the Oscar-winning actor Ray Milland and Sam Elliott. So bad it’s good? Actually, it’s just bad. A much better film featuring frogs is “Magnolia” with Tom Cruise in one of his best performances.
HORSES – So many movies with equine stars. What is it with Hollywood and horses? All that beauty and power on four skinny legs, how can you resist? The candidates include “The Black Stallion,” “Sea Biscuit,” “Secretariat,” “National Velvet,” “War Horse,” “Black Beauty,” “A Day at the Races,” “The Horse Whisperer” and “Hidalgo.”
For me, it’s a toss-up between “Sea Biscuit” and “Secretariat,” the former about a horse no one had any faith in because he was trouble and the latter about a horse owner no one had faith in because she was a woman. I’ll go with the former since we’re talking about horses and Sea Biscuit clearly had more hurdles to leap on his way to the winner’s circle. Who doesn’t love a great underdog story, or in this case, “underhorse”? Secretariat, on the other hand, or hoof, won the Triple Crown.
By the way, what is it with Elizabeth Taylor and animals? She was in “Lassie Come Home” and “National Velvet” before she was a teenager. One might be tempted to say she moved on to a different type of animal.
PIGS – An impressive field here includes “Charlotte’s Web,” “Gordy,” “Okja” and “Babe.” While I really enjoyed the weirdness of “Okja,” my vote has to go to “Babe,” the ultimate crowd-pleaser and critic-pleaser, too, as it drew rave reviews as well as a best picture Oscar nomination. Can pigs really herd sheep? Yes, and they can fly, too.
RABBITS – Not many live-action bunny pictures. Candidates include “Peter Rabbit,” “Harvey,” “Donnie Darko,” “Fatal Attraction” and “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” The CGI-rabbits in “Peer Rabbit” have much more to do than the other contenders (we actually never see the 6-foot-3 1/2-inch- tall rabbit in “Harvey”), but for sheer hilarity we’ll go with the cute killer bunny in “Holy Grail.” If you’ve never seen a rabbit decapitate a knight, here’s your chance. Sadly, I have not seen "Night of the Lepus" where mutant rabbits go on the rampage. Bugs bugs out.
RATS – and mice. Choices are few here. There’s “Willard,” the 1971 horror film starring Bruce Davison, Ernest Borgnine, Sondra Locke and, of course, Elsa Lanchester, and its 1972 sequel “Ben,” featuring the title song sung by Michael Jackson. Ever get a gnawing feeling about a movie? Much less horrific is the 1999 family comedy “Stuart Little” about a mouse who is adopted by a human family. Merriment ensues. The film was co-written by M. Night Shyamalan, who directed “The Sixth Sense,” also from 1999. Nice change of pace, M.
SHARKS – The success of “Jaws” spawned an ocean full of shark movies, nearly all of them as worthwhile as fly-infested chum. Candidates with varying amounts of quality include “The Shallows,” “The Meg,” “Open Water,” “Deep Blue Sea” and “Sharknado.” For humor, you can’t beat the latter film, but for thrills, chills and bloody gills, there’s only one choice - “Jaws.” That director Steven Spielberg managed to scare the fecal matter out of millions of moviegoers with a malfunctioning mechanical shark is a true sign of genius.
SNAKES – Plenty of movies about snakes, nearly all of them either dreadful or truly dreadful. Two films that transcend dreadful to enter the reptilian realm of comedy are “Snakes on a Plane” and “Anaconda.” The former film, starring Samuel L. Jackson, is about - drum roll, please - snakes on a plane. That’s truth in advertising, people. The latter film is a costume drama about a tempestuous girl who - wait, no, that’s “Anne of Green Gables.” “Anaconda” is about a huge snake with a healthy appetite starring Jennifer Lopez, Jon Voight, Ice Cube, Eric Stoltz, Jonathan Hyde and Owen Wilson. The regurgitation scene alone is worth the price of admission, and I’ll say no more. If you have a warped sense of humor, this snake film is a charmer.
We should conclude by noting that the 2016 live-action version of “The Jungle Book” contains several CGI animals in major roles, including wolves, a panther, a tiger, a snake, a bear, monkeys and an ape.

The Unforgettable Talents of Isabelle Huppert
I am Isabelle Huppert, and my journey as an actress has been a testament to the power of passion, resilience, and the pursuit of artistic excellence. From the moment I stepped onto the stage, I knew that acting was not just a profession for me, but a calling, a way to touch the hearts and minds of audiences.
Born in Paris, I was surrounded by a world of art and culture. From a young age, I was captivated by the magic of the theater, the transformation nature of performance, and the ability to bring stories to life. I knew deep within me that I had a gift, a gift that could connect me to others and transcend boundaries.
I started my career in the theater, honing my skills, immersing myself in the teachings of renowned actors and directors. I studied the craft, the nuances of expression, and the complexities of the human experience. I strived for authenticity in every role, seeking to embody the essence of the characters I portrayed.
As I transitioned to film, I faced challenges and obstacles. But I never let them deter me. I embraced each role, each character, with an unwavering commitment to truth and vulnerability. I wanted to explore the depths of human emotion, to expose the rawness and complexities of the human psyche.
My breakthrough came with the film "The Lacemaker." It was a role that showcased my talent and garnered critical acclaim. The recognition and awards that followed were humbling, but they also fueled my determination to continue pushing the boundaries of my craft.
I embarked on a journey of collaborations with visionary directors, working on films that challenged societal norms and explored taboo subjects. I fearlessly embraced roles that others might shy away from, delving into the darkness, the intensity, and the complexities of the human condition.
With each performance, I sought to illuminate the human experience, to peel back the layers and expose the truth. I wanted audiences to feel the emotions, to be moved, and to question the world around them. It was through my work that I hoped to make a difference, to leave a lasting impact.
But my journey was not without its challenges. There were moments of doubt, of rejection, and of uncertainty. But I held onto my passion, my love for the craft, and the belief that I could make a difference through my art.
As I reflect on my career, I am filled with gratitude and hope. I am grateful for the opportunities that have come my way, the collaborations with talented filmmakers, and the support of my fans. And I am hopeful for the future, for the stories that have yet to be told, and for the impact that I can continue to make.
I am Isabelle Huppert, an artist who believes in the power of storytelling, the ability to evoke emotions, and the capacity of art to inspire and transform. My journey is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, the resilience to overcome obstacles, and the beauty of pursuing one's passion. May my story inspire you to embrace your own unique talents, to fearlessly pursue your dreams, and to use your voice to create change. For within each of us lies the power to touch hearts, to ignite emotions, and to leave an unforgettable mark on the world.


Carolina Journal reports on the odd interest by some in the legislature to restore the state’s old film tax incentives.
Meanwhile, out-of-state film producers are still openly trying to dictate their social agenda to North Carolina policymakers. The Obama-affiliated Netflix is producing a series on the Outer Banks to be filmed in South Carolina, not here,
because of provisions of the partially repealed HB2, which required people to use gendered bathrooms based on their biological sex.
Pate said Netflix doesn’t like a particular clause in the replacement bill, one that forbids towns and cities from passing anti-discrimination ordinances to skirt the bill’s requirements.
That clause expires at the end of 2020, but Pate told the Star News that if state lawmakers can push to end it sooner, the show might still be filmed in North Carolina.
(Aside: This is the weirdest extortion attempt ever. If you don’t do what I demand, then … I won’t take your money!)
There are plenty of reasons to avoid going to the only film incentive program that’s worse than the current film production grants program. At least the grant program is constitutional, with a set amount appropriated to it. The old film tax incentives offered open-ended, refundable tax credits, which amounted to unappropriated open draws on the state treasury.
Here is information about film production incentives for policymakers and anyone else interested in the issue:
- Research finds that they benefit only outside film production companies, not their host states
- State reviews of their own incentives consistently find them to be net revenue losers for their states
- Reviews by both the state Commerce Dept. and the Fiscal Research Division of the General Assembly found the old film tax incentives program to be a net revenue loser for North Carolina
- Research finds that, even if the policy goal is overtly to benefit the film industry for non-economic reasons, the incentive should not exceed 10 percent of their spending
- Research finds that film production incentives create an “extortive political economy” (for examples, see the Netflix news above as well as recent news of Hollywood attempting to impose their politics on Georgia, too)
- They benefit outside film production companies even when they don’t film in North Carolina, because they take our bid and use it to leverage a higher bid somewhere else
In short, they leave most people in the state a little worse off just to enrich mostly out-of-state production companies.

YES YES DEAR GOD YES
Doctor Who Announces All-Star Cast for 50th Anniversary
Ahead of tonight’s premiere, Doctor Who has today revealed some of the all-star cast that will mark the 50th anniversary. David Tennant and Billie Piper will join current Doctor and companion, Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman, while John Hurt (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Alien, Harry Potter) will also co-star.
Last seen as the Doctor on January 1st 2010, this will be the first time Tennant has reprised his role as the Tenth Doctor. During his reign as the Time Lord, Tennant appeared in three series as well as several specials. He was first revealed as the Doctor in the 2005 series finale, ‘The Parting of the Ways’.
Meanwhile Billie Piper, who played companion Rose Tyler for two series following the reboot in 2005, will appear in the show for the first time since featuring in Tennant’s last episode, ‘The End of Time’ in 2010.
Also confirmed to join the cast is John Hurt who will also co-star in the 3D anniversary special that will form part of blockbuster celebrations later this year.
The 50th anniversary will be written by Steven Moffat and Directed by Nick Hurran.
Filming for the 50th anniversary starts this week. Meanwhile Doctor Who returns tonight on BBC America (March 30, 8/7c), BBC One (30 Mar, 6:15pm), SPACE Channel (March 30, 8e/5p), and ABCTV (March 31, 7.30p) for a run of eight epic episodes, which officially introduces the Doctor’s newest companion, Clara Oswald, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman.
I am SUPER EXCITED for Rose & 10 (though I imagine it’ll be Rose and TenToo aka 10.5 aka metacrisis Doctor), but I really hope more people will make appearances! Like, I dunno, JACK HARKNESS! It’d be awesome to see Martha and Mickey again! It’d be awesome to see Donna and Wilf again! It’d be awesome to somehow see 9 again! It’d also be awesome to get people from Classic!Who to come back! :D THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE TO BRING BACK! :D

happy 49th anniversary doctor who!
This has been in my drafts for over a year. I fail. But still. Soon it will be 50th! :D YAY!!
I used to think it was a silly post; a silly episode.
And then I finally saw it.
Holy fuck was I wrong….
Perfect image set is perfect.
IT’S LIKE THE BRADY BUNCH
#Here’s the story of a lovely lady who was living with her very lovely mum #Both of them had hair of gold from peroxide #And she worked in a shop #Here’s the story of a man named Doctor #Who was living in his TARDIS on his own #He’s a Time Lord and he’s like no other #And he was all alone #Then the one day when the Doctor met Rose Tyler #And he knew that she would travel far with him #That these two plus all these great companions and that’s the way they all became the TARDIS bunch #The TARDIS bunch #The TARDIS bunch #That’s the way they become the TARDIS bunch

After Paula left, I wasn’t sure if I’d still watch American Idol. I didn’t think the show would be quite the same without her signature clapping and wild makeup. I watched it anyway despite my aversion to Kara DioGuardi and her impromptu bikini-offs with contestants. After Simon left, I was SURE I’d never watch it again. Wrong. I’m watching American Idol‘s tenth season and I have to say, I’m enjoying it. I always thought Simon’s unrelentless cruelty was the entire and only point of the show but, as it turns out, the singers’ talents or lack thereof matter too! Who would’ve thought? I think Randy and Steven are secretly trying to take over the Simon throne. They both throw little jabs here and there but neither one has yet to straight up come out and tell someone they should get shot in the face and rot in hell before singing another song in the presence of another living being. We’ll see who wins. I vote Steven.
Two things, though:
1) I feel mildly uncomfortable when J.Lo gives singing advice because she…….. can’t sing. Don’t get me wrong: I LOVE J.Lo — but that doesn’t change the fact that she can’t sing. 87% of the contestants on the first day of Hollywood week have better voices than her. Again, I LOVE J.Lo. Nobody else can wear such a tight bun and still look gorgeous, as attested to by Steven Tyler. But she still can’t sing.
2) Steven Tyler needs to quit the shrieking. We get it already. You can SHRIEK. And nobody can outshriek you. You are the shrieking king.


Taking Cinema To New Heights: Rooftop Film Club
This article was originally featured in tmrw magazine #24.
The art of watching movies has evolved rapidly. We now live in an on demand age where watching the latest blockbuster on your phone is a normality and searching and finding that little reported independent film you saw someone mention on Twitter takes just a couple of minutes.
In part due to the rising cost of tickets, we’ve seen a decline in cinema trips meaning the joy of communal watching has been reduced to you and a group of your friends crowding round a TV screen as you watch something on Netflix with the lights off in a weak attempt to recreate that now forgotten magic.
If you’re lucky enough to live in London, Los Angeles, San Diego, Miami or New York there is an alternative. The Rooftop Film Club.
As a former teenage trapeze artist in his father’s circus, Gerry Cottle Jr knew that a way to a crowd’s heart is to show them a spectacle high above ground level. After deciding life in the big top was not for him, he spent his 20s living in London, working in public relations and event management. Although both can be exciting careers he wasn’t completely happy, harbouring ambitions to follow in his father’s footsteps by running his own business. He just needed an idea. In his previous roles a keen eye for detail and a creative mindwas required and this is what he needed to find his idea. Due to a passion for films, Gerry had attended a number of successful outdoor movie events set up by different companies in parks. Seeing the sheer number of people interested in these sort of events got him thinking about other potential venues people would enjoy. Gerry observed his surroundings and noticed a number of unused rooftops. In a city where space is a sought after commodity and the brand’s level of quirkiness can become an important USP, these rooftops were the missing piece of the puzzle Gerry was looking for. He had the idea ready and now the Rooftop Film Club was born.
Now he had the idea, he just needed the right venue. His first rooftop of choice was in Shoreditch, at the Queen of Hoxton bar. Discussions with the owners went smoothly and the first venue was now secured. And now the real fun was set to begin. With him still holding down a full time job, his lunch breaks and after work was the time to brainstorm. Eschewing lunch time trips to Pret, he would instead head off to make calls to banks to discuss vital funding, order deck chairs and inquire about film rights. Although some days he was working up until the early morning on his idea, his excitement for the cause kept him going.
By June 2011 Gerry was ready to show the world his idea. With the coming-of-age dramedy Stand By Me selected as the first film everything seemed set. That is until the potential for noise complaints was raised. Like the best films, there’s always a little strife that the protagonist will have to overcome before credits can roll and this was no different for Rooftop Film Club. With just two weeks to find a solution, Gerry, possibly inspired by silent discos, ordered wireless headphones and hoped for the best.Thankfully the event was a roaring success. The headphones have become something of a calling card for the company, with them still being used despite many venues now being able to host amplified sound. They allowed cinema goers to enjoy a movie in a different way to the usual cinema experience. Gone are the days where a climatic sequence are ruined by incessant talking or the rustling is crisp packets. With the headphones all of that can be blocked out. An enhanced experience is the backbone of Gerry’s whole endeavour. The Rooftop Film Club is what Gerry terms social cinema. With a city’s immense skyline as the backdrop it’s an event primed for the “Instagram Generation”. Every moment be it the cocktails and street food they have before or the stars they sit under during the film can be documented and shared. Cinema selfies, once confined to the popcorn laden lobby, can now be taken in front of a setting sun.
Building on each experience has allowed the company to expand. They now boast three venues in the capital and multiple venues across America. With every new screening they continue to reshape the cinematic experience. Harkening back to the days where watching a film was more about the movie than the cost. They’ve made enjoyment paramount and taken cinema to new heights.

Alpha1Media CEO Talal Malik launches global film strategy, Arabian focus
Global media and entertainment company Alpha1Media said on April 28 2018 that its Chairman and CEO, Talal Malik, had launched the company’s strategy on the new Saudi Arabian cinema industry and its potential contribution to global film production, finance and talent.
Talal Malik on April 21 published the strategic thought leadership article in leading Saudi Arabian newspaper, Arab News, under the title ‘A new dawn for Arab cinema’, outlining the entry of the Kingdom, the Arab world’s only G20, member into the global cinematic industry, ahead of a full lifting of a near four-decade ban on cinema in May 2018.
“The Arabian cinematic dream has been built on the achievements of many contributors, some silent and some now long gone,” said Talal Malik in his influential article.
“As their feats are recorded for posterity, the future looks bright, with new Arabian stories ready to be showcased to the world, and with talent from its own sands, both male and female.”
Talal Malik in the strategic article also outlined how some key milestone events behind the historical decision, including the first Royal Film Premiere in Saudi Arabia in 2012, as well as the future strategic global contribution of Saudi Arabia to the film industry, film finance, production and talent, citing leading Hollywood industry figures such as WME Co-CEO Ari Emanuel and UTA Partner and Agent, Rena Ronson and institutions such Variety and the Saudi Film Council.
Talal Malik also cited the 1962 epic film, ‘Lawrence of Arabia’, referring to a scene which depicts the start of a desert raid with the line: “This was Talal’s village,” before the obscured Talal initiates a solo charge, and stating that while T.E Lawrence’s story became universal, the story of Talal of Arabia, like many others, has not yet been told.
Saudi Arabian billionaire businessman, industrialist and film financier, Dr. Abdulrahman Al Zamil, publicly hailed the excellence of the thought leadership piece, and thanked Talal Malik, stating, “We in Saudi Arabia are proud of these achievements. All this time, we have been telling all our friends in the world, to just wait. When society is ready, we’ll be ready.”
On April 19, Alpha1Media received full script approval from the Dubai Film & TV Commission for its critically-acclaimed $100 million feature film project, NANO, six years after Talal Malik met Dubai’s ruler, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum at the World Premiere of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, who had instructed its producers to bring the next global Hollywood mega-blockbuster.
NANO has been recognised as one of the best film scripts for 2018 by 40 Oscar, Bafta, Golden Globe and Emmy award winners, such British actor, Jeremy Irons, and is set in the US, Africa, the Middle East, China and Russia.
Talal Malik co-wrote NANO with the award-winning British writer Tamsin Astbury and is producing the $100 million movie project, nearly two decades after his first screen appearance in the James Bond 007 film for the new millennium, ‘The World is Not Enough’ opposite Pierce Brosnan.
Talal Malik was amongst the first from a new generation of Xennials and Millennials at world-famous Oxford University who have gone on to work in or be closely associated with the global Hollywood cinema industry, including influential lawyer Amal Clooney, Oscar-nominated actress Rosamund Pike, studio management executive Sam Enoch, award-winning film director Lucy Mulloy, film studio head Tasmin Lucia Khan and Emmy-award winning actor Riz Ahmed.

‘NOWHERE SPECIAL’, which features Ballymena boy Daniel Lamont alongside actor James Norton, will be released in the UK on July 16!
Daniel, a pupil at Camphill Primary School, starred in the movie, which he has since seen twice already , but points out he is more interested in school, which has since broken up for Summer, and karate!
Nowhere Special’ is a story about a father John (James Norton), who dedicates his existence to his three-year-old son (Daniel) after his mother left them soon after giving birth.
But when John is given just months to live, he sets out to find a perfect family for his little boy once he is gone.
Meanwhile, back in September last year the Guardian did a special feature on Daniel making his screen debut.
At that time the lad said he was uncertain if his future career would be in movies.
But those in the know believed he could well have what it takes to be the next Liam Neeson!
Daniel turned in a sparkling performance as co-star to actor James Norton in the internationally co-produced drama film, written, directed, and produced by Uberto Pasolini, entitled ‘Nowhere Special’.
And he also had the pleasure of a front row seat at the movie premier at last year’s 77th Venice Film Festival.
Daniel seemed to have taken it all very much in his very little stride.
For days after returning from Venice he sailed through a day back at school, non the worse for wear after rubbing shoulders with the film world elite.
His proud parents, Geoffrey and Kasia, and older sister Erin (10), were special guests at the film premiere in Venice.
“If anyone ever believes that actors swan about, having the time of their life as they make their films, then I have news for them! It is hard, hard work,” said mum, Kasia, who accompanied Daniel during his six-and-a-half week’s filming in Belfast, Larne and Bangor.
But Kasia was quick to point out they have no intention of pushing young Daniel into the film industry.
“We want Daniel to have a normal life. If he decides it is something he wants to pursue then he will have our full backing. If not, no harm done,” she said at the time.
I met up with Daniel and his family at their home last September.
When I first caught a glimpse of him he was flying around outside his house on a scooter!
He said ‘Hello’, but continued on his way. Too nice and sunny an evening to sit and discuss little things like co-staring in a movie!
Mum Kasia took up the story, outlining just how her son ended up being selected, out of hundreds, to get the co-star role in ‘Nowhere Special.’
“There was a post on Facebook, saying a casting director was on the lookout for ideally a four-year-old identical twins to play a part in an upcoming film,” explained Kasia.
“Daniel had been in a play at Ballee Play Group and a number of teachers mentioned to me just how good he had performed, taking it all very seriously."
Kasia continued - “Erin and I were scrolling on FB one night and seen a post about the casting. So I sent a photograph of Daniel and the relevant details, and honestly thought no more about it, ... it was done for a bit of a laugh.”
Some time later an e-mail popped into the Lamont messages on their computer, requesting a meeting with Daniel.
The Lamonts attended and the number of hopefuls started to be whittled down - but they were kept on, and on ..... and on!
A few weeks later they got word they were still in the running, and Kasia admitted they werr starting to allow a little bit of excitement to creep in.
They were now in the last 20, and after the second casting they were all asked to come down to Belfast.
A third casting followed and at this one they met the casting director. Things were starting to get quite serious.
Parents Geoffrey and Kasia were able to ask all the questions they wanted - just in case their son ended up being selected.
Then came the news that producer Uberto Pasolini and actor James Norton wanted to meet them in Belfast.
Both parents admitted it was all starting to get very stressful.
The pressure of getting Daniel to P1 and Erin ready for the return to school, and the possibility of their son being selected to co-star in a film, was all starting to take its toll.
Geoffrey and Kasia recalled that they had taken Daniel and Erin camping when they received the call.
“My hands were shaking when I answered the phone, knowing who was ringing and why,” said Kasia.
Both had spoken about the thrill the news, if it was good, would bring.
But they also weighed up how sad it would be if they had to break the news to Daniel that he had not made the call-up.
“At this stage and getting this far in the selection process I must admit we were both getting excited at the thought of Daniel being in the film. But we also had concerns regarding what if he does not get the part,” outlined Kasia.
The Ballymena lad had came through all the hurdles - and now the hard work was about to commence. He had got the part!
Actor James Norton called a good few times with the Lamonts for dinner or for Chinese or just to play with Daniel and Erin, enabling him to familiarise himself better with the young man he would be working with during filming.
Mum Kasia proudly points out that, at the time of filming, Daniel was a very ordinary down-to-earth four-year-old little boy - but when the signal ‘Action’ is given at the filming shoots be became completely transformed.
“He really goes into acting mode when required, doing all he is asked to the very best of his ability,” said Kasia.
Towards the end of the interview Daniel was called over by his parents to say thank-you for the paper calling out to report his role in the film.
I asked him if he wanted to be a film star when he grew up, and after a few seconds pause he replied - “Maybe.”
Next he smiled, waved and said “Goodbye’ before getting on to his trusty scooter and heading back out to meet up again with a handful of friends.
Recently Daniel, reflecting on his time acting with James Norton, described the experience as - “cool.”
Ahead of its Northern Irish premiere at the Strand Arts Centre in Belfast, Daniel said he is getting used to seeing himself on the big screen.
Daniel's mum Kasia described watching the film with her family in Warsaw was emotional.
And she revealed that they have been approached by a few agencies in London and there have been offers of big productions.
Kasia said Daniel is still very young, and they want him to enjoy his childhood.
She added if wants to act they will support him.

I will recommend a movie with a different and absolutely remarkable topic that you can watch with your friend or your partner. Oslo Pictures’ new movie “Sick of Myself” is the focus of this article. The movie, directed by Kristoffer Borgli, which received a great deal of attention at Cannes, focuses a lot on narcissism, masochism and comedy. As for the plot of the movie, we observe an extremely selfish couple. It is an exaggerated Norwegian film with dark humor about the life of a couple who are constantly in competition, trying to sabotage each other (both of them are determined to do so).
When you watch the movie you will see how professional the actors are. All the actors really made their roles come alive. Cast list:
- Kristine Kujath Thorp
- Eirik Sæther
- Fanny Vaager
- Sarah Francesca Brænne
- Fredrik Stenberg Ditlev-Simonsen
- Steinar Klouman Hallert
- Ingrid Vollan
- Andrea Bræin Hovig
- Henrik Mestad
- Anders Danielsen Lie
- Frida Natland
- Guri Hagen Glans
- Seda Witt
- Mathilda Höög
- Anne Kokkinn
- Terje Strømdahl
- Elisabeth Bech Aschehoug
- Christian Torp
Note: You might be getting spoilers in my article.
Sick of Myself Movie Plot
The attention-seeking Signe (Kristine Kujath Thorp) has a toxic relationship with her equally selfish lover Thomas (Erik Sæther). The apparently harmonious couple gradually develops a sickly inner state of mind. Imagine Thomas making his art with stolen products and losing the attention to his lover, Signe uses a banned drug to get a skin disease that will suddenly turn the whole course upside down. If you expect her to regret and quit, you are very mistaken because Signe has already lost her grip.
You Will Say No More
In the following scenes of the movie, you will say “No way”. Because Signe will not stop even if she is unrecognizable, bandaged and her quality of life is reduced to zero. She will ask for more to get attention. In the meantime, Thomas, who has lost the attention to Signe, is a little bit upset. How crazy does that sound, doesn’t it?
In a bus scene, we see Signe returning home with her lover, bandaged and unrecognizable. Signe is happy to get everyone’s attention, Thomas hugs Signe at that moment and is happy in front of the
People who are looking at him, pretending to be a good lover. The group of friends who realize the situation are gradually distancing themselves from this psychopathic couple.
“There are two very intriguing stories going on here; one is an irreverent skit on society, the media, and the celebrity of victimhood, the other is a tender portrait of a sad, lonely woman who’ll do anything to feel seen. But there’s a yawning gap in the middle — and it’s the sense of what’s missing here that lingers, not what’s there.”
Once you watch this movie, believe me, you will be hesitant to tell people about your problems. Especially if you watched it with your partner, after a while, when you tell each other “I’m sick” or “something like this happened to me”, it looks like one of the scenes in the movie and you start laughing. It’s a weird situation.

Frenchman François Manceaux, director of a documentary on the financial crisis in Portugal, explains what makes the annual Résistances film festival unique among its peers.
By placing questions of money and marketing behind overall content and coherence, the organisers produce an event that makes people think deeply about the realities of modern-day politics.
Manceaux’s film “Portugal, l’europe de l’incertitude” played during the 8-day event in a section dedicated to the exercise of power.
Franco-Greek Film director Yannis Youlountas talks about his film “Ne vivons plus comme des esclaves” (Let us be slaves no more), a rough cut of which was screened during the Résistances film festival in Foix, southwest France on July 10. The documentary, which will be free-to-download and view on the internet on September 25, 2013, explores how ordinary Greeks have coped with the crisis despite having lost all power over conventional politics in their country. Free food, free medical care, free workshops, clothes exchange stores, anti-fascist actions and more. Amidst the crisis – inspiring examples abound of social re-invention and rediscovery – a contrast to the usual doom presented by conventional mass media.
