Louis stars Jackie Earle Haley, Shanti Lowry and Anthony Coleman in a silent film set in 1907 New Orleans. Here's the synopsis from the film's website:
Shot by Academy Award-winning cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond as a modern re-imagining of early silent film, LOUIS is an homage to Louis Armstrong, Charlie Chaplin, beautiful women and the birth of American music. The grand Storyville bordellos, alleys and cemeteries of 1907 New Orleans provide a backdrop of lust, blood and magic for 6-year-old Louis (Coleman) as he navigates the colorful intricacies of life in the city. Young Louis's dreams of playing the trumpet are interrupted by a chance meeting with a beautiful and vulnerable girl named Grace (Lowry) and her baby, Jasmine. Haley, in a performance reminiscent of the great comic stars of the silent screen, plays the evil Judge Perry who is determined not to let Jasmine's true heritage derail his candidacy for governor.
The film begins a five-city tour here in Chicago at the Symphony Center on Aug. 25 with live music accompaniment provided by jazz legend Wynton Marsalis, pianist Cecile Licad and a 10-piece all-star jazz ensemble. Tickets are $40 to $60, and part of the proceeds from the five concerts will benefit Providence Saint Mel School.

The movie therefor has some flow and pacing issues, but that comes with the territory. If you have multiple strings and strands that have to make sense themselves but also in the overall picture, that is what happens.

BBC American in turn released both a teaser video — in which the Clone Club and others warn, “This is war,” as a new threat arrives on the scene — and a first photo (below), where we see Sarah in a tense face off with the lethal Rudy (new series regular Ari Millen) in a Dyad prison cell.

When the love of her life is suddenly stolen away from her, Sevy will stop at nothing to get him back. Murder, black magic, and demonic pacts are of little consequence if it means she finally has the chance to obtain her heart’s desire.
But is she willing to sacrifice her only friend to get the job done? In her obsessive quest for happiness, is there a line that even this selfish, self-proclaimed bitch won’t cross?

Our literature syllabus contain Shakespeare’s play MACBETH. First i thought it to be boring but nope it is not except for Shakespeare’s language. So i read the modern text. The prevailing theme in this drama is the greed for power lust. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are the most complex characters.Macbeth desires for the throne but his sense of humanity is pulling him behind.On proposing his plan to Lady Macbeth to kill the king to ascend the ladder to the throne, Lady Macbeth is startled because her heart is full of motherliness. At the same time she loves her husband so out of desperation she invokes dark spirit to take away her motherly bliss. I was thinking that she may be a evil lady but no that is not the scenario. As we fast forward the play we can see that she is just innocent, she did not have evil feelings. In the sleepwalking scene we can see how mentally ill she has become after killing the king.I really feel sorry for her. She has a golden heart and her motherly nature did not fade away. She is unable to sleep peacefully. She is suffering from mental trauma. This part of the play is a twist. After this she commits suicide.Even though she killed the king for her husband’s well being,she is unable to accept the horrific crime she made. I loved her character and she is indeed the controversial and complex character whom i support whole heartedly.


The Drakor film that unifies the fallen people aka HOSPITAL PLAYLIST is now over and has a happy ending. The completion of this drama is a moment that makes drama lovers sad and happy at the same time. There are also those who have not been able to move on from this drama because the story is good and very enjoyable.
Drama that uses medical personnel as an inspiration for stories is no stranger to drama connoisseurs. Even a number of drama titles with the theme of medical personnel are being hunted by drama connoisseurs and lovers.
For KLovers who still haven’t moved on with HOSPITAL PLAYLIST, maybe you can try watching this series of dramas. Besides being fun, this drama will also add insight to KLovers about the medical world and so on. Come on, just read it. The following is a series of medical personnel themed dramas that can fill KLovers’ days after the end of the HOSPITAL PLAYLIST.
- DR. ROMANTIC (2016)
This one drama became popular because the story is full of life values and light romantic stories that will make KLovers’ hearts feel comfortable. DR. ROMANTIC itself tells the story of the life of the best surgeon in Korea named Boo Yong-Joo (Han Suk-Kyu) who suddenly disappeared when he was at the peak of his career.
However, what actually happened was that he purposely lost himself due to a trauma and later changed his name to Kim Sa-bu. His life slowly began to improve when he met two young doctors who worked in the same place as him. Are you sure you’re not interested in this drama?
- DESCENDANTS OF THE SUN (2016)
Being one of the booming drakors in 2016, DESCENDANTS OF THE SUN succeeded in making the audience fall in love with every scene and actor in it. The drama, starring Song Joong-Ki and Song Hye-Kyo, is about a military army captain who falls in love at first sight with a beautiful neurosurgeon named Kang Mo-Yeon.
Unfortunately, the profession must separate those who are in love. Who would have thought, that these two individuals were reunited because of a peace mission in a fictional country called Urk.
Apart from the fact that the drama is very well packaged, KLovers who watch will also be excited about the romantic stories of the couples here. Moreover, tense and horrific events will also accompany as a complement in this story.
- BLOOD (2015)
What happens if a vampire becomes a doctor huh? Hmm… Maybe KLovers can find the answer through this one drama. BLOOD tells the story of a surgeon who is very great and is recognized by his abilities by many people. However, who would have thought that this doctor was a vampire who usually sucked human blood.
Despite having a cold appearance, in fact he is someone who is very gentle and likes every relationship he has with humans. He even met a beautiful young doctor who was able to make him fall in love. How will their story continue?
- DOCTOR STRANGER (2014)
When he was a child, Park Hoon (Lee Jong-Suk) along with his father who is a famous doctor in South Korea were deliberately kidnapped by a group of people and taken to North Korea. In that country, he was taught and trained by his father to become a great doctor.
After the death of his father, Park Hoon then fled to his home country and worked as a doctor at a famous hospital called Myungwoo University Hospital. But fate leads him to a woman who looks like an acquaintance he previously lost contact with when he fled to South Korea. Will luck be on his side?
- GOOD DOCTOR (2013)
Different from the stories of other medical personnel, GOOD DOCTOR presents a story that will touch the hearts of KLovers from the first episode to the last. GOOD DOCTOR itself tells the story of a young doctor who has special needs named Park Shi On (Joo Won). However, he is very talented and has the ability to complete any given task.
His journey to become a great doctor was not smooth. Moreover, he is also often underestimated by his fellow doctors due to his condition. Did his struggle to become the best doctor pay off?

Due to outstanding demand, Barnsley on Film will be re-screened on Thursday 28 June at The Lamproom Theatre, Westgate, as part of the first Experience Barnsley Festival.
Barnsley on Film takes people on a fantastic journey through the decades. From the York and Lancaster Regiment (AKA the Barnsley Battalion) and bustling markets to coal mining memories and the famous ITV production ‘It’s No Joke Living in Barnsley’.
The film will be re-screened in the unique setting of The Lamproom Theatre and feature over a century of films capturing the sights, sounds, faces, places, changing landscapes and the everyday lives of people in Barnsley.
Presented by Yorkshire Film Archives, the re-screening will reveal the boroughs lost industries. Footage includes 1930s recordings of the CEAG Lightbulb factory and the new production methods of the Brook Motors works in the 1950s. Coal mining is also a strong theme running throughout, with early film from the Manvers May Day Parade in 1919, a mining review courtesy of the BFI National Archive featuring the last of the pit ponies and celebrations to mark the millionth ton of coal mined at the Woolley Colliery.
But there is much more than coal. The film also reflects on life in Barnsley overground as well as underground. With snippets from Lord Mayor’s Parades, 1960s Birdwell May Queens, a visit by the real Queen and Brian Glover fulfilling his dream to play on the Barnsley FC pitch.
Cllr Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “Last year Barnsley on Film was shown to a sell-out audiences of over 400 people at The Parkway Cinema. We are delighted to be able to offer the people of Barnsley the chance to catch this very special nostalgic treat again as part of the Experience Barnsley Festival. I would like to say a huge thank you to Yorkshire Film Archive, Barnsley Museums and Archives and the Lamproom who have made this re-run possible.”
Graham Relton, Yorkshire Film Archive Manager, said: "This Barnsley on Film screening is a great chance for the people of Barnsley to see themselves and their town reflected on film – the great coal mining heritage of the area, local events and industries filmed by amateurs and professionals alike. The film show is a real window onto Barnsley over the last 100 years – and who knows, people might even spot a familiar face."
Through support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Barnsley Museums and Archives Service have been working on their sound and film collections for the last two years. By teaming up with the Yorkshire Film Archive and the Friends of Barnsley Archives, they have unlocked even more of the borough’s film heritage.
The film screening is just one of the public events that form part of the Experience Barnsley Festival - Barnsley Museums first ever heritage festival. The festival runs from Saturday 23 June to Saturday 30 June hosting a variety of talks, films, workshops, and activities to celebrate the borough’s proud and exciting past. The week concludes in style with Barnsley’s annual History Day held at Experience Barnsley and the Town Hall from 11am to 3pm.
Barnsley on Film is being re-screened at The Lamproom Theatre on Thursday 28 June at 7.30pm. Tickets are £5 and available now from barnsleylamproom.com.


Instead of a regular blog post, I'd like to share with you the reason I have been neglecting my blog lately. The show I've been working on since February opens tomorrow night. I have been at the theatre for hours every day, living on black coffee and fast food. I have callouses on my hands from set work. My eyes are red from sleep deprivation and stage dust. And I've never felt better. I love this show. I love this cast. And I love how supportive my family has been through this adventure.
Here is my very first attempt at using a video camera and iMovie. Ladies and gentleman, I give to you the cast of Milton Players production of The Secret Garden, directed by yours truly.

David Chase sees a connection between The Sopranos and The Office. Premiering on HBO in 1999, The Sopranos centers on an angst-ridden Italian-American mobster and father, Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini). Over 6 seasons, the show primarily explores Tony’s struggles, whether they be with his mother Livia (Nancy Marchand) or his mafia colleagues, through therapy sessions with his psychiatrist, Dr. Melfi (Lorraine Bracco). After airing its final episode in 2007, The Sopranos garnered controversy for its abrupt and ambiguous ending and has recently reached a wider audience due to its streaming availability on HBO Max.
NBC’s hit mockumentary sitcom, The Office, enjoyed similar acclaim during its initial run from 2005 to 2013, but its status as a cultural touchstone is largely owed to its prior streaming availability on Netflix and now Peacock. Based on the BBC series of the same name, The Office depicts the everyday lives of the employees of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. The series originally starred Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Craig Robinson, and B. J. Novak, and later added Ed Helms, Amy Ryan, James Spader, Ellie Kemper, and Catherine Tate to its ensemble cast.
Now, in an interview with Uproxx promoting The Many Saints of Newark, The Sopranos creator David Chase raised an insightful similarity he noticed between his hit crime drama and The Office. After the interviewer mentioned how the two shows emerged right before social media exploded in popularity, Chase pointed out the fact that both The Sopranos and The Office are “about a group of annoyed, angry people.”
Chase went on to speculate that audiences see reflections of themselves in these two shows, which possibly contributes to their massive popularity. Though The Sopranos and The Office take considerably different approaches to their subject matter, as one is a contemplative drama and the other a mockumentary sitcom, Chase’s observation largely rings true. Both series can be viewed as modern examinations of the American Dream, although the characters have vastly different occupations.
The Sopranos actor Michael Imperioli actually revealed another interesting connection between the two shows earlier this summer. After Steve Carell left The Office in 2011, James Gandolfini was reportedly being eyed as his replacement, but HBO paid him $3 million to turn down the role to protect the purity of The Sopranos‘ legacy. While Warner Bros. is taking advantage of the show’s popularity with a prequel film, fans continue to clamor for a reboot or follow-up to The Office. For now, one thing is certain, the two shows’ popularity will endure.


Inglourious Basterds: I want my money back
I think my title pretty much sums up my feelings about this movie. I literally couldn't be more disappointed in Quentin Tarantino's new film. Seriously.
Were you/are you one of the red-blooded males who saw the trailer on TV where Brad Pitt was goin' on 'bout killin' Naatzis in a Tennessee drawl and got fired up? Well I certainly was.
You know, it's one of those movie marketing tricks. Make the whole trailer about Brad Pitt killing Germans and pretend that's what you'll see for two and a half hours. Well, you had better see a matinee show if you plan on getting your money's worth.
I am well aware that half of you reading this think I'm crazy, dense, and "that I just don't understand the "genius" of Tarantino."
Oh I understand it alright.
The guy is by far the most self-indulgent narcissist in the history of cinema. And luckily for him, he's established a "mainstream cult" following that collectively believes that he walks on water and can do no wrong.
The guy is a good director and writes a good script, there's no doubt about that. The storylines were definitely intriguing. Also, the casting in Inglorious Basterds was incredible. Each character actor was impeccably chosen and were not only believable, but weren't distracting. Basically, we have no idea who these people are other than Pitt (and you'll recognize Diane Kruger). This is especially true for the actor playing Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz), an SS Colonel disturbingly, yet aptly nicknamed "Jewhunter."
Landa is probably one of the most intriguingly developed and and superbly acted roles I've ever seen, and at times, this sadistic bastard (pun intended) steals the show. He makes some very long, drawn out scenes tolerable because he is so damned authentic.
Other than the casting, the superb cinematography (camera work, contrast, composition), and a handful of brilliantly acted non-action scenes, this movie had few bright spots to speak of. It just went on and on, and very little happened or was accomplished.
As Peter Griffin once said about The Godfather, "It insists upon itself."
(That's right, I quoted Peter Griffin.)
There is so little action between the 20 minute and 1 hour and 20 minute marks that I seriously considered leaving the theater. I'm not one to hate a good dialog or relevant scene, but we're talking scene after painful scene of slow character and plot building, endless subtitle reading, and single scenes of people sitting around a table for almost 30 full minutes with zero cutaways.
I appreciated the subtitles at first, as Germans and Frenchmen aren't going to be speaking English to one another during WWII. But trust me, it gets old REAL quick. Again, it's as if Tarantino was so pleased with himself for finding actors who could switch seamlessly between three and four languages easily, that he had them do it for a half hour at a time.
And who's going to tell him otherwise? He's the delicate prima donna who's had his ass kissed so much for the last 20 years that if anyone suggested that half the movie was a snoozefest, he'd probably pull some kind of less masculine Christian Bale fit on the set, fire his editors and/or key grips, and go hide in his trailer with a cappuccino for 6 hours.
Brad Pitt was on screen for about one third of the movie. He was by far the most entertaining character in the entire film. Obviously Waltz's Landa character was the most compelling, but that doesn't mean he was keeping me awake.
While Tarantino's bizarre, seemingly irrelevant short stories took their turns on screen, one is left thinking, "What the hell do these people have to do with each other?"
The answer simply is, nothing. The only link between the Inglourious Basterds (Pitt's unit of Jewish-American army assasins), and Shosanna Dreyfus (who we meet in the movie's first scene) is Colonel Landa.
Even at the end of the movie for the big bloody finale, the stories end up coinciding in the same place with the same goals, but they do not cross paths or join together in any manner. This is something that Tarantino almost surely delights in while his droves of lemmings notice its obviousness and fancy themselves film aficionados.
It is this cinematographic hubris by Tarantino that drives me crazy. He thinks he can just juxtapose two totally different plots and stories on top of one another, vaguely tying them together in one absurd final bloodbath. All the while he's crossing his fingers and hoping no one notices the ugly staples and seams holding the movie's parts together underneath all the oozing bodies on the ground.
Another thing that drives me nuts about this Tarantino is that he'll just randomly put arrows with names superimposed on a freeze frame that befits John Madden or Jeff Van Gundy during a sports telecast. There were also a couple cutaways to a random narrator (who sounded like Samuel L. Jackson), and out of place German 80s pop music during key parts of the movie. Guy drives me nuts. No one else can get away with a fictitious "period piece" like this. No one.
As I mentioned before, there is painfully little action in this film, (maybe about 20 minutes out of the (at times) agonizing 2 hours and 33 minutes. And as is Tarantino's M.O., the violence is so grotesque and unfathomable that it borders on the absolute absurd-- in effect making the bashing of a man's skull with a Louisville Slugger and the constant scalping of Nazis seem hilarious.
Even I felt weird about laughing at a dead guy getting his brain exposed by an antler-hilted buck knife as Brad Pitt drawled on about the Smoky Mountains. It was just awesomely bad.
Look, if you're in the Tarantino cult, I know you've already disregarded this. You're all as in love with him as he is with himself. If you're not in his cult and think this is an action movie, you're mistaken. Catch it on Netflix in 5 months.
Let the Quentin Tarantino defense begin.


Day 51 - Misadventure
I’ve been working on the design identity for the indie film The Misadventures of Sam Slade, a modern crime noir-ish dark comedy being made in Chicago. I’m animating the opening title sequence and designing the website as well. This is the poster I created for the film.
My process started by printing a still from the film featuring the titular character on my standard inkjet, then began to tear it apart. I crumpled it up, soaked in water, tore it into shreds, and finally ended up with this image. I’m very happy with the outcome. I always love to play with physical materials before digitally compositing anything. Its nice when the physical bits make it into the finished product.

Doctor Who Flux New Cast and Returning Character Guide – Season 13 of Doctor Who has an exceptionally big cast of recurring characters; find out everything you need to know about the Doctor, her new allies, and opponents!
Doctor Who: Flux has an extremely big cast of recurrent characters due to its serialised nature. The outbreak of the coronavirus has caused showrunner Chris Chibnall to alter the formula of Doctor Who for season 13. “He said in an interview with Doctor Who Magazine that “Doctor Who is one of the most difficult programmes to create,” and that “we were aware that [the pandemic] would make it much more difficult.” Every year, we’ve strived to push the event forward, and we didn’t want to let the program’s ambitions down. However, it was financially, logistically, and administratively impossible to continue with the prior amount of episodes.”
As a result, season 13 of Doctor Who has been cut down to only six episodes. Furthermore, because actors can return, there is a single underlying plot, allowing the production crew to bubble more efficiently. The choice to modify the programme may have been taken for practical reasons, but it’s proving to be a wise one, allowing Chibnall to play to his strengths while still allowing the plot to progress through the clever use of cliffhangers in Doctor Who season 13. It also means that viewers will have more time to get to know key characters, and stories will be established in one episode before being taken up later.
Naturally, this time around, Doctor Who has a larger ensemble of recurring characters than at any other time since the show’s premiere in 2005. The following is everything you need to know about Doctor Who: The cast of Flux.
Doctor Who Flux New Cast and Returning Character Guide
Jodie Whittaker Is The Thirteenth Doctor
Jodie Whittaker, who played the Thirteenth Doctor in Doctor Who: Flux, is leaving the programme. Whittaker’s final full season will be Season 13, with three specials slated to air next year to wrap off her tale. The Timeless Child retcon appears to have sharpened the Doctor’s resolve, and she’s keen to learn the truth about her long-lost history – but she’ll have to go about it the hard way, with forgotten monsters stalking the Doctor now.
This puts the Doctor in the terrible situation of having to deal with foes who are well-versed in her methods, despite the fact that she has no idea who they are or what they’re up to. Whittaker is most known outside of Doctor Who for his role as B. -Doctor Who Flux New Cast and Returning Character Guide
Mandip Gill Is Yaz
Mandip Gill’s Yaz, another member of Doctor Who: Flux’s returning ensemble, has been travelling with the Doctor for quite some time when Doctor Who: Flux begins. This indicates Yaz has matured into a seasoned explorer who has led herself throughout by asking herself, “What Would The Doctor Do?” Yaz’s relationship with the Doctor, on the other hand, appears to have become strained as she suspects the Doctor of concealing secrets from her and appears to resent this. Gill had appeared in nearly 200 episodes of Hollyoaks before joining Doctor Who. – Doctor Who Flux New Cast and Returning Character Guide
John Bishop Is Dan
New companion Dan Lewis, played by comedian John Bishop, is the most significant addition to Doctor Who: Flux’s ensemble. Dan is a Liverpudlian who is thrown into chaos when he is targeted by an extraterrestrial named Karvanista, and as a result ends up travelling in the TARDIS. Dan, who is both kind and resourceful, adjusts quickly to the chaos he’s found himself in; he may not completely comprehend what’s going on, but he’s plainly determined that he has no alternative but to ride it out. Dan’s past is being kept a well guarded secret by the BBC, implying that it would be disclosed throughout the course of Doctor Who season 13. – Doctor Who Flux New Cast and Returning Character Guide
Jacob Anderson Is Vinder
Jacob Anderson, who is best known for his role as Grey Worm on Game of Thrones, has always been a fan of Doctor Who, and joining the cast of the British science-fiction TV series is a dream come true for him. He portrays Vinder, a mystery guy who is presented as the commander of a deep space monitoring station that is interrupted by a cosmic catastrophe known as the Flux. After witnessing entire solar systems being destroyed by the Flux, he is transported across time and space and joins forces with the Doctor and her friends. – Doctor Who Flux New Cast and Returning Character Guide
Sam Spruell Is Swarm & Rochenda Sandall Is Azure
Best known for Snow White & the Huntsman, Legend, and Taken 3, Sam Spruell is part of Doctor Who: Flux’s cast as the main villain – an enigmatic being called Swarm, who fought the Doctor long ago and has escaped imprisonment to wreak havoc on the universe once again. Swarm is a powerful being whose powers seem like a homage to the MCU’s Thanos, and he’s assembled an entourage around him, most notably Rochenda Sandall (Small Axe, Line of Duty)’s Azure, who seems to share his powers. – Doctor Who Flux New Cast and Returning Character Guide
Craige Els Is Karvanista
It’s understandable if viewers don’t recognise Craige Els (Ripper Street, Bletchley Circle, Coronation Street) among Doctor Who season 13’s cast; after all, he’s not exactly recognisable in the programme. Els portrays Karvanista, a former Division operative whom the Doctor thinks will be able to enlighten her about her forgotten history. Doctor Who season 13 begins with the Doctor’s pursuit of Karvanista, who believes he is spearheading an invasion of Earth. – Doctor Who Flux New Cast and Returning Character Guide
Annabel Scholey Is Claire
Annabel Scholey is best recognised for her roles in Walking on Sunshine and Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows: Part II. In Doctor Who, she portrays Claire, a mystery woman who appears to have a relationship with the Doctor – and who soon falls foul of the Weeping Angels. Claire meets the Doctor out of order, according to dialogue in Doctor Who season 13, episode 1, implying that this is a character who will return – and whose narrative will be more than a touch timey-wimey. – Doctor Who Flux New Cast and Returning Character Guide
Nadia Albina Is Diane
British actress Nadia Albina is known for roles in Beautiful People, Coronation Street, Marcella, and Innocent. In Doctor Who: Flux, she plays Diane, a love interest for Dan who is targeted by Azure for unknown reasons. She only makes a brief appearance among Doctor Who season 13, episode 1’s cast, but her return is clearly set up. – Doctor Who Flux New Cast and Returning Character Guide
Steve Oram Is Joseph Williamson
Joseph Williamson, a real historical individual, is most known for building a complex of tunnels in Liverpool’s Edge Hill neighbourhood, the purpose of which is still unknown. The formation of the Williamson Tunnels appears to be linked to the events of Doctor Who season 13 and the Flux in Doctor Who legend, with Williamson functioning as an unexpected prophet. Steve Oram (Good Omens, The End of the F World, Code 404) plays him. – Doctor Who Flux New Cast and Returning Character Guide

Dragonslayer: Skate Documentary
While the majority skateboarding documentaries these days tend to regress into boring sit-down interviews and pseudo-academic narratives, Tristan Patterson comes along with an honest, unapologetic portrayal of the scene with Dragonslayer. The movie follows the life and career of skateboarder Josh ‘Skreech’ Sandoval for an entire year, documenting his struggle to balance his love for skateboarding and the relentless demands of the real world.
Dragonslayer's cinematography is superbly executed for a low-budget documentary. Even scenes situated in the most dystopic environs such as decrepit houses and graffiti-laden skate bowls bathe in ambrosial colors.
The documentary effectively establishes different moods by giving the viewers two distinct visual perspectives: a crisp third-person vantage point through Patterson’s high-definition camera (which loses focus from time to time), while Skreech, often incoherent and inebriated, provides a disorienting gonzo vantage point through his own grainy lo-def camcorder.
Skreech is a single father, a drug addict—and for better or worse—a skateboarder. He can be such a polarizing character, yet this movie has an allure tantamount to watching a spectacular car wreck unfold. Paradoxically, everything that he does (or fails to do) generates enough intrigue to make you stay glued to the screen, wondering if he gets to walk away unscathed from it all in the end.
There's something truly genuine about this movie that most documentaries tend to lose or forget.
Patterson portrays the skate culture for what it is without any embellishments. In a way, he even cautions the audience that the type of freedom punk ethos endows has its own limitations.
Dragonslayer is not only a portrait of one person, but it also provides a riveting picture of America's disenfranchised youth as a whole. Punctuated by the visually powerful energy of radical skateboarding and the occasional display of (literal) fireworks, the movie is remorseless in exposing the excesses as well as all the frustrations of alienated young Americans.
The movie reveals some ugly scars and open wounds behind the media-glorified facade of skateboarding subculture. It provides the viewers a fair amount of impressive bowl skating from Skreech and his friends. Nevertheless, it's not a run-of-the-mill skate porn intended to brainwash the consumer with the skateboard industry's brand of bad and cool.
Skreech does not romanticize the skater punk lifestyle. His strengths and flaws are excruciatingly real, it gives Dragonslayer the kind of authenticity warranted in a self-respecting counter-cultural film. Skreech's life and Patterson's visual execution pulls the heartstrings in ways you wouldn't expect, especially from a movie that initially appears to be about a hopeless character.


[R]yerson Folio sat down with Jasmin Mozaffari and Caitlin Grabham , respectively the writer/director and producer of the short film Firecrackers. The pair took time out of their busy TIFF schedule to talk with us about being students, and their experience creating the film in their fourth and last year in the film studies program at Ryerson.
The fierce duo talked about the ups and downs of film making, and the excitement and overwhelming whirlwind of TIFF. Humble, excited, and surprised, the pair give us an in depth look at what it was like preparing, shooting, and marketing their short film, Firecrackers.
Ryerson Folio: What was the casting process like, especially because you were students when you created this film?
Caitlin: There’s a website Mandy.com, and school hooks us up with CastingWorkbook.com. It’s all on the internet, but it’s just us putting out our own kind of casting call. People come in, we audition a lot of people, [then] a lot of people don’t show up. We don’t really do callbacks or anything, because they don’t really like us doing them in school, so for the two main characters, all the girls read for both parts. They usually stated their preference for which character they’d like to play. We kind of picked the people we thought would best fit. The image of some of the girls changed, they weren’t originally supposed to look like they did in the film, but the actors we thought were really strong and did their roles really well. They weren’t necessarily what we had in mind going in, but it definitely worked out for the better.
Jasmin: We almost couldn’t find two of the characters. There’s a little boy in the film who blows up a condom at the beginning of the film, so it was very hard to find him. No talent agency wanted their kid doing that, but we had kid actors read for our third year film, so we called one of them up and thankfully he jut did it. The other person we hard a hard time finding was the trucker guy, he makes out with the lead character in the truck, it was very hard to find him, but we only saw two guys for that.
RF: What was the inspiration for this story?
J: Basically [its] inspiration came from when I was going to do a thesis [and] I knew I wanted to do a film about the idea of freedom or lack of freedom in terms of women and girls. I had that theme in mind and then I also wanted to do a film on girls who act on their impulses and desires without regretting it and not being ashamed about it and going on adventures. You often see boys going on adventures and doing things unapologetically, but I wanted to see girls do that. I knew I had girl characters in mind sort of based on the girls I knew when I was a teenager, so I went back and I looked in my journals from when I was a teenager and I pulled out episodes from my experiences when I was a teenager. I didn’t grow up in a small town, but I grew up in a community me and my friends wanted to leave which was Barrie, and I was always fascinated by the idea of what happens when you’re in a very small isolated town. You can’t leave, but you want to escape. All those things played into my inspiration.
RF: How long did the shoot/process take place?
C: Shooting was technically six days. We started at the very end of October and shot into about mid to late November, and that was the actual shooting process. We were in pre-production and development I guess just before school started. We had a really short preproduction period I think compared to other people in our year, because we wanted to shoot before it (North Bay) got cold, so even in November it was becoming really, really cold. We were trying to avoid the snow, [it] just wasn’t what we were going for. We finished shooting at the end of November, but it still took us five months to edit and tweak everything. [It was] a very slow post production process [but] it was good we had that much time for post.
RF: What would you say was both the most exciting and difficult aspects of creating the film?
J: The most exciting part of it for me was actually shooting it. I don’t think I’ve had as much fun shooting any other film as I did this film. We had a good crew, everything was figured out, so I really enjoyed shooting it. The most difficult part was definitely location scouting, oh my god that took forever, because it’s shot in northern parts of Ontario. I travelled to North Bay at least four times before we actually shot. That’s a four-hour trip [there] and back, and then while we were there we had to drive around and find locations in a town that I had no experience with at all. Finding the truck stop that’s in the film was excruciating, very difficult, because we needed a certain kind of truck stop and there aren’t many of those anymore, so driving around all of Ontario trying to find this perfect truck stop, it was just so stressful.
C: I think you have more fun on set than I do. I’m too stressed about everything to make sure it goes okay. Obviously I think once it starts coming together it’s a lot easier for me to relax, just because I’m in charge of all of the logistics and everything, panicking if we’re running 20 minutes late. Again with the truck stop, the other thing is, certain truck stops don’t want us to film there because they’re afraid of their reputation. I think the truck stops were the harder part. There’s obviously other locations that are like that, but you kind of have to be cautious with everything, and then when you’re shooting and it’s somebody else’s property you’re trying to stay within their guidelines and when they want you to leave and everything. Logistically planning, it is challenging. It’s fun in a way, but not really a sigh [of] relief until you actually have everything shot and you can tell it’s starting to form into something.
RF: In terms of funding, did you have any sponsors or did a lot of the money come out of your own pockets?
C: Jasmin’s dad ended up donating quite a bit of money to the film. We did get a grant for William F. White, which is a lighting and grip company that provides all the lighting and grip equipment (laughs), so we were able to save a bit of money there.
J: There are the IMA awards every year, and they give out money. I got an award/grant for film, [it was] to help you shoot on film. A chunk of money came from that, the rest was our personal finances. It racked up the dollars for sure, but it definitely paid off.
RF: Alongside location scouting and funding, what were other obstacles you faced when creating this film?
J: The casting. Finding those two other characters was extremely hard, especially the little boy oh my god, and I’m like, we need him, we need him in the film. I think we almost had the threat of having to push the shoot a couple of times.
C: There’s just a whole process because we had to compete with everyone else’s in the class. Only 20 films got green-light. There [was] over 40 pitched at the beginning of the year, so we really had a month and a half of pre-production, so trying to plan probably one of the biggest shoots in the smallest amount of time, which luckily worked out. Both of us had it done where we didn’t have any other classes, we only had film production. We worked it out, or else you’d need to have another four courses on top of that. People who were doing that I think had a lot harder time. For us, all I was doing was film production, all Jasmine was doing was film production, we were just literally thinking about the film all the time.
RF: So since you guys graduated, what have you been up too? Marketing this film?
J: Mostly. We got in to a couple of festivals, [and] we were trying to get into more. TIFF has taken up time [because] you have to do things for TIFF in terms of [going to] events, networking and such. We got into Vancouver International Film Festival, enRoute film festival, and Yellowknife International Film Festival so far. That’s pretty much it so far.
C: I’m working as an intern here and there for the Canadian Film Centre, but also I think we are also right now trying to develop more projects. People have been giving us good feedback, so we are trying to ride that wave, and keep the momentum that we have right now, and see where that takes us.
RF: What has it been like being involved in TIFF? Is it as much of a surreal whirlwind as one would expect?
C: Definitely, I think it’s also we weren’t expecting to get into TIFF so much. Obviously you’re hoping your film gets in places, and TIFF is definitely one of the festivals you’re more involved with. They have a lot of industry events and different things that are going on. There’s always emails and stuff about things you could be doing, you’re constantly meeting people, it’s kind of overwhelming. This summer we didn’t really do much, we were applying to a lot of film festivals but TIFF I think was the first film festival, well it’s our premiere, so it’s the first film festival we were really at, and it’s just like, once you get notification of your acceptance you’re just kind of thrown into so many different things and so many different deadlines, different things you need to give them, different stuff you need to attend, different people who you’re supposed to talk to, it’s just overwhelming.
RF: Where were you guys when you first found out your film was accepted?
C: You tell the story.
J: Oh yeah, I’ve told this story a couple times. I was just in my apartment, and Magali [Simard who] is the short film programmer at TIFF phoned me. I thought it was going to be a rejection phone call, ‘cause I don’t know just the tone of her voice, and she said “you got in,” and I couldn’t believe it. Caitlin lives down the hall from me, so I ran down the hall and like I’ve said before in interviews, I wasn’t really wearing pants, just kind of like some underwear thing, she wasn’t wearing pants either surprisingly…
C: I was cleaning my washroom…
J: I was like, “I need to tell you something,” and she was like, “what?” Like her face was just [like] “what’s going on?” I had to pause for dramatic effect, and [then] was like, “We got into TIFF.” We were just screaming. It was a happy moment.
C: It was really out of nowhere
J: That was the surreal moment.
C: It was before deadline, they have a notification [date when] they let you know, when you’re supposed to be told, and it was a week or a bit before that, so we weren’t even expecting that phone call yet to get nervous about it.
RF: What has it been like experiencing this with your peers, with student filmmakers who got in who were also from Ryerson?
C: As I was saying earlier today, it’s kind of nice. Sometimes networking can be intimidating [and] exhausting, because you want to make a good impression. You’re very aware of how you’re presenting yourself, so sometimes to have a break, you can go talk to the people you know, regroup, then go back out and talk to the people you’re trying to meet.
J: We are all newbies, so you feel like you’re not alone, you’re with the people you’ve been with for four years. It’s also nice because it’s like, yay, we’re in this together, we all did this, we all went from Ryerson. It’s comforting to know we all made [this] next step together.
RF: What do you want to take away from this experience?
J: I think to learn what to do for next time and to become comfortable with the Canadian film scene more. Like I said, I’m very new to it, so it’s a community that when you break in to it, I feel like it’s hard to break into. We got an in, because we got into TIFF. It’s a great in, but you want to take away feeling a part of the community and remain.
C: With it too, it opens [you] up to different people you could work with. School is [a] very small community, 60 of us in our program really, and you’re working with the same people. Doing projects outside of school [is] very different than putting them in school. There are a lot of people willing to help, certain people you can ask questions and get answers [through] different connections. Staying in the film community would be the goal, and staying hopefully relevant, we have some relevance right now, [so] we’d like it to continue.
RF: Going back to the film, I thought the location was the best part, it was very different and I couldn’t believe it was even in Canada. What made you want to film in that location?
J: It’s Northern Ontario, it has its own atmosphere for sure that’s different from Toronto. It’s its own world. When I was young I lived for two years in a small community called Chapleau. I know what that atmosphere is like, that feeling of isolation, it’s a theme in the film, feeling isolated, and wanting to break free of that isolation. I felt like northern Ontario suited that really well. You can feel isolated anywhere, but that needed to be there, that’s why I picked that area. It’s also a gritty film, its dark and [has] truck stops, and it’s sort of dirty,
C: Nothing’s really polished, and everything’s kind of dated.
J: That’s another thing, some people ask, “when does this film take place.” The reason I think they get a sense it takes place in the past is because when you go into these small towns sometimes it feels like time has never gone forward, progress stops sometimes. I wanted that feeling [that] things never progress. Northern Ontario is perfect for that.
RF: I also got a vibe of that in terms of wardrobe.
J: The wardrobe girl, Bryn Yamada, she went to school with us in fourth year and she’s really good. We collaborated on every single outfit in there. We decided for every single scene what the girls were going to wear, and what it looked like. Each individual girl had a different sense of style. Chantal likes flash, she likes to be out there. If you see pictures of the film it’s of her in the pink cat ears, it’s almost like she likes this sort of, she doesn’t see it as cheesy or tacky, but it has that sense of flash. Lou is a little bit more tomboyish. It was me and Bryn. Bryn was running around sourcing all the wardrobe from second hand stores, H&M and stuff. It was quite a long process determining each outfit.
B: Why do you think this film will speak to people? You have created a dark yet hopeful piece.
C: When I read it, what appealed to me from the beginning is the female story. I like the female element. I don’t find there’s necessarily the same female representation in film. That’s something I’m passionate about and want to see that more and I think the story was really good. We had people come up to us too and comment on that.
J: On that note, our film has also screened at the student showcase and at RUFF. Women would come up to me and said “I really related to that,”“I know what that feels like.” I think it will speak to people on a universal level because it has to do with freedom and that’s such a broad theme that seems to resonate with people, feeling trapped and feeling lost.
RF: Any last words about the film, about TIFF? Reel people in.
J: More than a year ago I was sitting on my dads’ porch writing this script, just hoping to make a good film. I never could’ve expected from that moment to now this would have happened. Even today, I’m coming from a BravoFact brunch to have an interview. That’s insane to me. I never thought this would ever happen. I think with this film I wrote something true to how I felt, true to my experience, and it felt right in my gut and I think that always pays off. Always stay true to yourself when you create art.
C: I would expect to be working part time trying to figure out what I’m doing with my life. It’s been a very exciting experience.

I admit it, I didn’t even know there was an original Jedi Turtles. Me bad. However, I’ll be rectifying that asap.
In the meantime, why don’t you sit back, relax (maybe line up some original Star Wars fun – but none of that JarJar Binks malarky, okay?), and enjoy Jedi Turtles.
What’s doubly awesome about this is (if you’re in anyway geeky, nerdy, or a Star Wars fan) today is apparently Star Wars Day – May the 4th be with you.
May the 4th be with you.
So, so, corny, nerdy and brilliant, all in one fell swoop. And there are turtles! Turtles battling it out, Jedi style.


I watched three movies this weekend. On Friday, I watched Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (hereafter known as “Borat“), on Saturday, I watched Jesus Camp, and today, I watched Casino Royale. I have been doing a lot of homework for my various classes and continuing education classes, not to mention work, so I deserved this break. Partly for me, and partly for Google, I will give my short reviews of each.
BoratAbout two months ago, my previous roommate Courtney Malone signed up for MySpace so he could catch an advanced screening of Borat. He lives in a real city now, so that’s the reason this was possible. He reviewed it on his blog at that time. He basically spent the entire time bitching about MySpace and how he hates it, but he did write these few sentences.
Though I was initially concerned that the movie would be a 2 hour skit that should have been 5 minutes (like every episode of SNL for the past 3 years), it ended up being pretty damned funny. Think Team America: World Police funny, not West Wing funny. The neat thing about the movie is that a many of Borat’s interactions are with unwitting members of the general public.
I totally agree with that part of that paragraph, but I disagree with the rest of his post about MySpace. Borat was very funny. I also thought it would be like an SNL skit that went too long, but it wasn’t. There is a part where he is speaking in tongues, which I found hilariously awesome considering I’m a former pentecostal of the Assemblies of God church, and I too was “baptized in the holy spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues”. He talks about his new friend “Mister Jesus”. The whole movie is hilarious, but they didn’t have the volume up loud enough and everyone is constantly laughing so it was hard to hear some of the things.
If you’re looking for a good laugh for an hour and a half, go see Borat. High five!
Jesus CampJesus Camp is a very disturbing look at a specific pentecostal religious camp and then evangelical Christians in general. Pastor Ted haggard (of gay hooker and meth fame) is also featured in the movie saying that homosexuals are wrong. How ironic. He has also criticized the film, even though it is very even handed. The creators have posted a response to him. I can imagine my parents would also love this movie because they would see it as Christianity on the march. If you are an atheist or otherwise a free-thinker and you are apathetic towards religion, please go see this movie. The evangelicals are trying to take over this country, and so far, they’re doing a good job of it.
I must admit, there were several parts in the movie where I winced, reminded of my own childhood. It’s amazing what they can do to kids and convince them that speaking in tongues (otherwise known to the scientific community as glossolalia) is a gift from the “holy spirit”. One girl said it’s great to be like a real warrior for God, “only funner”. One pastor at the camp asked, “How many of you kids are ready to give up your life for God?” Almost all of them enthusiastically raised their hands at once. We’re raising a nation that is 25% (percentage of evangelical Christians in the US) terrorists. I’m telling you, this movie really scared me. I can only hope they’ll wake up as I did.
Casino RoyaleThis was the best movie I saw this weekend, although Jesus Camp was a close second. It is everything that a Bond movie is supposed to be. It has tons of action, an amazing opening chase sequence, beautiful girls, tons of twists, and an amazing cast.
There is no longer just sexual tension between bond and Moneypenny. Well, there is, but then later, there’s just sex. Bond is even going to leave MI6 for her. I won’t spoil the ending, but it is worth noting that this is a prequel of the entire series. Regardless of the Moneypenny story, she is very attractive in this movie and I enjoyed that personal storyline. It was a lot more involved than most Bond girl storylines. Casino Royale was the first James Bond book, and he has just been given 00 status.
That movie was so awesome. I’m sure I’ll watch it again soon. I didn’t think that new creepy looking Bond would be good, but I warmed to him immediately. Poor Pierce; I’ve already forgotten him.
If you’d like to see scenes from the movie and hear the awesome theme song for this one (complete with the gun barrel shot), here’s the video from YouTube.
