Dreams of African youth: Screening short films on International Youth Day
In August 2018, Dreamtown celebrated International Youth Day through two events, in Aarhus and in Copenhagen, screening a series of short films to portray the lives and dreams of young people in three African countries. The events were held together with our good friends from FAIR and hosted in ActionAid Denmark's two cafés.
Dreamtown, FAIR, and ActionAid Denmark all try to create #SafeSpace4Youth - which was the theme for this year's International Youth Day. In between the films, Dreamtown, FAIR, and ActionAid Denmark told a bit about the visions behind our respective organisations and the youth-driven organisations that we support. By 2050, Africa’s youth population is expected to reach nearly 1 billion. Therefore, we believe it is important to promote direct civic support for youths, and focus developmental cooperation on the opportunities which the young population needs in order to pursue their dreams and fulfil their potential.
70 people came to watch the short films with us and had an encounter with the lives and passions of youths in Malawi, Madagascar and Sierra Leone. The movies we screened were:
Mercy’s Blessing: "In a rural village in the heart of Africa a teenage boy has a dream: to raise his younger sister and himself out of poverty. But when a twist of fate shatters his hopes, everything seems lost and he is faced with the ultimate choice”. The short film has won multiple international awards and has been screened in film festivals worldwide. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BDYP5JTarA.
Mada Underground: An urban opera composed by the voices of Malagasy youth full of talents and energy: “A group of young people are intent on making their mark in Madagascar's cultural history. From gifted slam poet Caylah to inventive visual artist Temandrota and a crew of entrepreneurial skateboarders, a generation of young Madagascans are making space for creative projects”. Trailer: https://vimeo.com/220329911.
Dansa: The film is one of the results of young filmmakers from Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Liberia coming together to portray the lives of youth in West Africa. Dansa is one of four films produced in 2017 as a part of WELTFILME.org's project “On the Move”: “Dance is Morris’ biggest passion. Held back by his parents’ traditional expectations, he finds out what it takes to fulfil your dream”.

Sofia Coppola, age 3, with her father, Francis Ford Coppola, on the set of ‘‘The Godfather, Part II.’’ Right: her little director’s chair on the set.
A snippet from the Sofia Q&A
It wouldn’t let me post the whole thing, sorry!
Emma Watson & Sofia Copolla | ‘The Bling Ring’ premiere (May 16th, 2013)
Sofia Coppola, Emma Watson, Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, Taissa Farmiga and Claire Julien at the Cannes Film Festival press conference for The Bling Ring, May 16th


It is no secret that I am a huge Disney fan. I grew up watching every princess movie and I was every princess for Halloween. When it was announced that there was going to be a live action Beauty and the Beast movie made, I was so ecstatic. When I found out Emma Watson would be Belle I became much more ecstatic. I am huge fan of hers and all that she does to help the environment and her part in the fight for women’s equality. So, my boyfriend took me to see Beauty and the Beast the day it came out and spoiler: I loved it so much, I went to see it again with my mom and little brother about a week later!
Let’s talk about the singing first and address what everyone was worried about. I thought Emma played Belle perfectly and as a trained vocalist I appreciated her voice for what it was and it’s okay that it wasn’t this outstanding and amazing voice. I thought her voice fit the character phenomenally and it made the movie special to me. Josh Gad as usual is the spotlight stealer with his amazing voice and his amazing acting skills. I liked his LeFou better than the animated version’s. My favorite song was definitely Gaston, it was so fun especially with the musical interlude and I admit I listen to it on repeat on my way to school sometimes. I did feel like maybe there was one or two songs that just seemed extra but it didn’t ruin the movie for me, it was still very lovely.
The movie flowed tremendously adding bits and pieces to the film to bridge gaps in the animated classic. I personally loved the additions to the film scene wise and I thought it helped the movie stand alone and separate itself from a “revival” of the animated movie. I enjoyed every aspect of this movie and I cried- both times- because of how amazing it was and how magical it felt. I was so moved by how wonderful the film was that it reminded me how much I loved this movie as a kid and how much I looked up to Belle and all the princesses for the strengths that they show. Belle was so smart and so independent and I alway find myself wanting to be as smart and independent as Belle, even now.
I completely recommend seeing this movie if you can still see it in theaters but if not you should definitely get it on DVD or Netflix and watch it and enjoy something truly wonderful. Through all the skepticism about this movie it honestly was a fantastic movie.

Seaford Rugby Club raised £750 by selling tickets to the clubs pantomime that was held in January. This was matched by Barclays Bank.
The Seaford Rugby Club Charity Players performed three shows at Seaford Rugby Club at the end of January this year. It was a very alternative panto – B’stard which was losely based on Robin Hood and directed by Paul Ungoed. The cast and crew excelled themselves once again and delighted the audience with banter, a dance routine, plenty of double entendres and flashes of flesh! Mike Still created a film trailer to warm the audience up. This panto crew have a cult following and the audience support was immense and very generous.
There were six new players this year (panto virgins) who brought a new energy to the show.
The Seaford Charity Players were delighted to donate £750.00 to Seaford Down’s Syndrome and Special Needs Support Group and this was matched by Barclays Bank. A further £750 was also donated by the players to the Matt Hampson Foundation.
Many thanks go to both the Seaford Rugby Club and to Barclays Bank.

.... And the Oscar goes to Everything Everywhere All at Once
LOS ANGELES, March 13, 2023
"Everything Everywhere All at Once" won the coveted Best Picture trophy at the Academy Awards on Sunday as Hollywood embraced an off-kilter story about a Chinese-American family working out their problems across multiple dimensions.
The movie claimed seven awards overall, including three of the four acting Oscars for stars Michelle Yeoh (Actress in a Leading Role), Ke Huy Quan (Actor in a Supporting Role) and Jamie Lee Curtis (Actress in a Supporting Role). Yeoh played the lead role of a stressed-out laundromat owner who finds she has superpowers in alternate universes, said a Reuters report.
Brendan Fraser won the Actor in a Leading Role award for his role in “The Whale”.
India erupted with joy as the Original Song award went to 'Naatu Naatu Naatu' from Indian film 'RRR'.
“All Quiet on the Western Front” from Germany won the International Feature Film award. The movie also won the award for Cinematography.
“The Elephant Whisperers” won the award for Documentary (short). "Navalny" was chosen the winner in Documentary Feature. - TradeArabia News Service


Well... this time around he wanted it done in the style of Star Wars: Clone Wars, the Animated Series, directed by Animation director, Genndy Tartakovsky of Samurai Jack fame.
The setting for these piece takes place during the Clone Wars. Dacen is hunting down Jedi Hunter, Asajj Ventress, hence the title of this piece, Hunting the Hunter
Here is how I ended up describing the scene to him: The Jedi Hunter has escaped and you've tracked her down on Korriban, in a remote ancient Sith Temple. In the background is the tattered banners of the Sith Empire from the Old Republic. Still eerily glowing is a Sith Holocron on an alter in the background holding Dark Force knowledge and power. You've hunted the hunter to this location to stop her from attaining the secrets that lie within that holocron.
Who is this other Jedi fighting alongside Dacen? It is none other than the cartoon likeness I did of voice actress Grey DeLisle, the voice of Asajj Ventress during the series.
In this piece, Dacen is wearing this outfit:
Lightsaber being wielded this time is Obi-Wan Kenobi's AOTC hilt with a veridian blade. The boots were switched to Anakin's Jedi boots too.


Because this is what I'm like:
Friday night some friends are over so I pull out the quilt I've been piecing together for months (you know, the one where if people ask me "Are you making a quilt?" I say, " Uhhhh.....yeah.....kind of...." because I feel embarrassed?). It's mostly pieced together and looking at this Alicia (I think it was you) says, "You've done a lot, are you proud of yourself when you see this?" And I, who had just been feeling overwhelmed thinking of all that's left to do and can't seem to narrow my focus to these last few stitches that are needed to perfect one section, I say, "Sometimes I can't feel that."
And we hear as film students all the time (mostly from people who are NOT in the filmmaking trade themselves) that obviously we're not all going to be that filmmaker we admire, there's a lot of us, we can't all be that filmmaker who gets screened in theatres, even limited-run art house cinema kinds of theatres. And as I'm an average human I think, Oh, I can't be, I shouldn't even try to make a feature length documentary.
But at least for the moment at this point I can remember Werner Herzog's funny voice I heard on NPR this morning saying, "You have no excuse not to make a feature film. People can make a feature film these days for $10,000." Which is really, extraordinarily cheap if you weren't aware. (DON'T WORRY MOM, I'm not planning on anything like that.) And Werner sometimes eats his shoe if someone (Errol Morris) makes their first feature length.
Maybe you can see, though, why I'm doing this to myself if you understand that I LOVE FILM. I can't help myself, I don't want to watch movies all the time, but if you want to see me get excited, ask me a nerdy film question and if I don't know the answer I'll spend hours trying to figure it out. Poke my eyes out and make me blind: I still love film, I'll just listen to it. The beauty of the innovation and history and effect and humanity of it all makes me cry. Poke my eyes and cut out my ear drums and I'll learn braille to read about it and find some way to tell you about it.
This is what I uncontrollably want.


Check out my new piece in Snobby Robot, where I chronicled Jabari Gray and Joshua Paolino, the minds behind ‘Enemy Lines’, a new web series. Below is an excerpt, check out the full article here.
Both Paolino and Gray agree that the Internet is an effective platform for web series creators. “It gives a big venue, even larger than film festivals, to show your work to larger audiences,” Gray says.
“Web series democratized the film maker,” says Paolino. “To get your work in a film festival there’s a lot of applying and waiting. By putting it on the Internet you get wider audiences and can get your project out in front of the public right away.”

Directed by Michael Greif, with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, “If/Then” is the story of 40-year-old Elizabeth, who has moved back to New York City following the breakup of her marriage. Her new life kicks into gear in a New York City park. But which life? And therein lays the tale.
“If/Then” is a form of the movie, “Sliding Doors.” If this path is taken, then this will happen. If the other path is taken, then that will happen. As the story first unfolds, it’s not readily apparent that two different stories are being told almost simultaneously. Once that is understood, you begin to relax and appreciate…or not…what is happening on stage.
There’s a reason Idina Menzel won a Tony for “Wicked.” She has a wonderfully powerful voice and that voice holds her in good stead as Elizabeth. She’s also a first-rate actress and the fact that you can feel and sense her emotions clear up in the balcony is testament to that. Unfortunately the score doesn’t provide enough great songs worthy of her voice. She has one clever number in the middle and a truly terrific number near the end of the play, but the rest of her songs are rather ho-hum.
I’m not certain why LaChanze was cast as Elizabeth’s friend, Kate. A Tony award winner for “The Color Purple,” she really isn’t given much to do and her songs are not memorable. Anthony Rapp as Lucas is very good as Kate’s best friend from college. He, too, has a few songs, and while his voice is fine, is not anything you will remember once you leave the theatre. James Snyder is very convincing as Elizabeth’s love interest, Josh. At first his voice seems nice enough, but then he takes it to another level when he hits some high notes. His “My Kid” is a show-stopper.
The idea of showing us life’s “what if’s” is intriguing. The problem with “If/Then’s” execution is that we see not only Elizabeth’s two paths, but also fully developed stories for the two supporting characters in her life…in both paths. It adds a lot of time to the play and, frankly, her friends’ romantic stories aren’t very compelling and neither are their songs.
For a musical, there’s not a lot of musicality to “If/When.” The play is meant to be “real” which can explain the lack of dancing and the rather ordinariness of the songs.
Other than Menzel, the real stars of the show are the sets. Mark Wendland’s designs are spectacular. The parks, the subway, the buildings…all are wonderfully imaginative.
Considering that “If/Then’s” creative crew– Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt–are Tony winners for prior work, this play is disappointing. Overall, “If/When” underwhelms and in its present form, I don’t see how it settles in to a long Broadway run.
“If/Then” runs through December at the National Theatre.

Shooting Spots in ManaliManali has always been one of the most preferred places when it comes to the shooting of movies and it always topped the list of shooting spots for Bollywood movie makers. The outstanding natural beauty of Manali has always drawn the attention of Bollywood Directors. Be it the evergreen Rajesh Khanna in the movie Aapki Ki Kasam or the heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani; the picturesque scenery of Manali has always lived up to the expectations of the Bollywood Directors.
Right from the movies of decades back like Heena, released in 1991 starring Rishi Kapoor, Ashwini Bhave and Zeba Bakhtiyar to the recent block-busters like Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani (released in 2013), cinematography of Bollywood movies have reached to a different height with picture perfect backdrop of Manali. Movies shot in Manali have got upscale in visual aesthetics.
The pleasant atmosphere throughout the year and wonderful places around has made Manali a favorite choice for the Bollywood movie makers. Movie makers of Bollywood have started replacing overseas favorites like Switzerland and Australia with Manali.
Tourists visiting Manali never miss out any of these shooting spots from their Manali itinerary as they want to experience the fun of visiting these picture perfect shooting spots that they have watched in different Bollywood movies. Here is the information about various movies and their sequences shot in Manali and its surrounding areas.
Favorite Shooting Spots in ManaliShooting of Hindi Movies used to be done during the era of black and white movies also and recently the trend has increased. The gleaming waterfalls, placid lakes, ancient monuments and religious shrines of Manali have made it one of the favorite places for shooting. Spots like Hadimba Devi Temple, Rohtang Pass, The Mall and Solang Valley are the places that have been used as shooting point for most of the Bollywood movies. Lets go for a short Bollywood trip and cherish our filmy memories once again…
One of the most visited religious shrines in Manali is the Hadimba Temple. This ancient temple of Manali has the main deity as Hadimba Devi. Located very near to the bus stand, the temple is also visited by hundreds of locals every day.
Who could forget the terror-creating scene of one of the hit movies Roja starring Madhu and Arvind when Arvind, who played the role of Madhu’s husband was kidnapped. Many scenes of this movie revolve around this age old temple Hadimba Devi Temple.
The recent one is still fresh in everyone’s mind. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone in the movie “Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani”; have been seen expressing their views about marriage at the backdrop of Hadimba Temple. Rahala Falls near Hadimba Temple is another picturesque spot for shooting.
None of the viewers could ever forget the scene where Shahid Kapoor is driving the jeep through Rohtang Pass and beautiful Kareena Kapoor is singing the melodious song- Oh Rama, Yeh Ishq Haye, Baithe Bithaye of the hit movie Jab We Met (released 2007). The snow covered road dazzles our eyes and the impression and melody of this song still is permanent in our mind.
Beautiful Solang Valley in Manali, swirling rivers and streams and lush green meadows keep coming in various scenes of the movie Krish (released 2006) starring Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra. Apart from showing temple, valley and passes of picturesque Manali in Bollywood movies, adventure sports have also been highlighted in various movies.
(Who could forget the trekking and skiing scenes of the recent block buster Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani and the water rafting scenes of the movie Krish?)
Markets of Manali have also been seen in this movie thus viewers get to feel about the place and become keen to visit this awe-inspiring destination of north India. Beas Kund is an other very hot favorite shooting spot for Bollywood movies.
Chandiyari located at the banks of Beas River is the place where the song Aankhon Se Tune Ye Kya Keh Diya of hit movie Ghulam starring Rani Mukhejee and Aamir Khan was shot. Classic movies of 60s and 70s, many of them starring the great actor-star Shammi Kapoor have been shot in Manali.
Recently released Ritesh Deshmuk and Genelia D’souza movie Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya (2012) has many scenes shot in Manali especially the song Main Wari Javan, Saan tho ki Hoya ve Kasoor of this movie is shot in Kothi, a place near Manali.
Hindi movie Laal Dupatta Malmal Ka (released 1989) have also been shot in Manali. Anil Sharma directed movies –Hero - Love Story of a Spy (released 2003) and Ab Tumhare Hawale Hai Waatan Saathiyo (released 2004) have many scenes shot in Manali.
The movie Raaz - The Mystery Continues (release 2009) directed by Mohit Suri has also many scenes shot in Manali. The song ILU ILU of Saudagar (release 1991) and the song Aap ki Kasam from the movie Aap Ki Kasam (release 1974) have been shot in Manali showcasing the beauty and elegance of this wonderful hill station.
The recent 100-crore club movie Highway (released 2014) directed by Imtiaaz Ali has many scenes shot in Manali.
The same holds true for the recently released movie Purani Jeans (release 2014).
The charm and elegance of Manali remains the same for the movie makers and that is why “Mary Com”, the biopic movie based on the life of famous female boxer of India Mary Com starring Priyanka Chopra has also been shot in Manali. The movie is yet to release.
When it comes to relation between Manali and Bollywood movies its really a pair to cherish. The Directors of Bollywood have realized the boost and magic that Manali can add to their movies. This is the reason that starting from 1970s till now Manali has been and would remain the hot favorite for the Bollywood Directors.
We hope that you enjoyed this short Bollywood trip to Manali with us! Read More Here.

Zac’s birthday was yesterday, but since it was August 15th, we couldn’t make this post in time. Happy birthday, kitty! We love you so much! 🧡
Aoi: So, Zac, today is your birthday! Cheers!
Zac: Hehe, thank you! I’m happy that you remembered even if I have not yet appeared in Cymberlight.
Aoi: Of course I did. I’m sure everyone is still waiting for your debut.
Zac: Really?! They want to see me?
Aoi: You bet!
Zac: Amaaaaazing! (Zac starts dancing around the room, making meow-ish noises) By the way, I made a thing yesterday.
Aoi: A thing? You mean, a disaster?
Zac: No, no, no! I made… (Zac rummages inside his “The Amazing Heroes” backpack) THIS! (He shows me his sketchbook)
Aoi: Oh… that’s… a drawing.
Aoi: It’s… pretty awesome, I guess.
Zac: …You don’t like it?
Aoi: Eh? Oh, no, it’s really well made! I’m just, like, a little confused? (I point at the character that looks like a demon) This is Cynthia, I suppose…?
Zac: Yes! She’s the Demon Queen here.
Aoi: …I see. “Cynthia… I’m sorry…”
Zac: And this knight…
Aoi: …Is you.
Zac: It’s me! (Zac nods enthusiastic)
Aoi: Too bad he has his back to us, I can’t see his face.
Zac: It’s because, you know, he’s not important in this scene. He’s just a vassal.
Aoi: …A vassal.
Zac: That’s right.
Aoi: …Okay, (I massage my eyebrows, feeling like I’m leading to a stonking revelation) so let me get this straight: you made a drawing in which Cynthia is the Demon Queen, and you are her vassal. Moreover you are… (I point at the bundle the knight is holding out to the Queen) offering her a prisoner?
Zac: I’m paying a tribute. She asked the knight to bring her a sacrifice. To do… (Zac glances around and starts whispering for no apparent reason) you know, things.
Aoi: …What things?
Zac: Demonic things.
Aoi: …Yeah, sounds legit. (I keep gazing at the ‘sacrifice’) They… they’ve got familiar… ears.
Zac: Of course! (A broad smile appears on Zac’s face) There’s only one kind of prisoner Ms. Cynthia would claim, after all. As her vassal, it was my duty to provide her with what she wanted.
Aoi: “Yeah, I think I got a pretty good idea of why she’d want such a sacrifice…”

SYNOPSISA day in the life of a young hitman, between his family memories in Europe and Australia, and being ambushed in a hotel room in New York City.
Giovanni Basso is an Italo-Australian director and producer who lives and works between Europe, the U.S. and Australia. He founded Magnet Films in 2007. His previous short film The Swimmer (Drama, 2013) was accepted in competition in more than 50 international film festivals in the United States, Europe and Asia.
From September 2014 to January 2015 Giovanni travelled around three continents to shoot Terra Continens in various locations, including Paris, New York City, Perth, Palermo, Venice and his hometown Ferrara.


I absolutely love the CEO Dancers. Phenomenal dancers, wonderful personalities, and absolutely gorgeous young African women representing Africa to the max!
Based in London with member originally from Nigeria and South Africa, these young women are most widely known for their time on Britain’s Got Talent 2013.
Please check out Queen Jade’s Kickstarter and, if it is possible, help her out complete her film. Her goal is to bring the rough cut of her film to Sundance Film Festival and submit it to other international and domestic festivals for next year’s screenings. She will only be able to do that if she raises the funds to make it happen. Making a film is a costly endeavour that not only requires knowledge and expertise but also the use of expensive equipment to shoot and edit.
There are two weeks left for the campaign and, at the link there are clips of the film and a lot of further info. Check it out and, if possible, help with a donation. If not, help spread the word. The more people who know about the project, the better chances for Queen Jade to complete her fundraising.

The Raid 2
Read my review of The Raid 2 which is really more of a story about how I fell asleep in the cinema. Not because of the film, I was just tired.
Once again I felt compelled to watch a film that no one else on the planet seems to have seen despite an insanely pushy ad campaign and a universally indifferent response from critics. Is John Carter as mediocre as it’s cracked up to be? Actually no; it’s quite enjoyable if you’re looking for a bit of adventure with a lot of swordplay thrown in. My only concern is that if you look a little deeper Disney seem to be pushing some pretty questionable morality with this one...
I can’t comment on whether Red Dawn is a successful remake because I haven’t seen the original, so all I’ll say is that the original film would have to be astoundingly bad to beat this... You know that moment when you’re at some form of social gathering and a stranger says something hilarious without realising it’s even remotely funny? That sums up Red Dawn.
Welcome to the Punch
I don’t really like James McAvoy but I gave him the benefit of the doubt just this once… and he didn’t prove me wrong. The film’s not all that bad though, mainly thanks to Mark Strong and Johnny Harris. Anyway, check out the post in which I mostly talk about beards.
Wrath of the Titans
Once again I have gone against my better judgment and spent almost two hours of my time watching a sequel to a film that disappointed me deeply… thankfully my faith was rewarded as the sequel, while not by any means perfect, was good enough to seem like a vast improvement over the Clash of the Titans remake. I realise that’s not really saying much. Read the review for more of this insightful commentary.


A delicious meal will be served in the parking lot followed by showing of Free Burma Rangers, the true extraordinary story of the 20-year journey of missionaries Dave and Karen Eubank. The film follows Dave, Karen, and their three young children, as they venture into war zones where they are fighting to bring hope. Dave Eubank is a rare hero of the faith. He is a former U.S. Special Forces soldier turned missionary to conflict zones. The film is a real life adventure movie. Viewers will follow the family into firefights, heroic rescues, and experience life-changing ministry.


I am super excited to announce that the film I worked on over a year ago is making it's world premier at the Austin Film Festival!
Terrible Love is the authentic and haunting story of a young military couple whose love for each other is put to the test by the effects of PTSD. The film is told through the lens of one relationship, but was inspired by stories told by numerous veteran families. Please go like our page to stay posted with the film and it's journey and to spread the word. Our Page... https://www.facebook.com/TerribleLoveFilm
FESTIVAL DATES: October 23-30th IN Austin, Texas


I am not a big TV or movie watcher (We dont have a TV at home, have not had it for many years now), so take this review with a grain (or more) of salt. I have only watched 1-2 partial movies. They dont have any TV shows yet.
The top things I liked:
1. Content selection (especially Hindi and English) is excellent. There are hundreds of movies that I have not seen at all (again that’s not saying much). The old hindi movie selection is particularly good.
2. Streaming is instantaneous and quick. The overall experience was pretty good and there were no glitches. I did have a problem the first time I logged in, post which there have been no bumps.
3. Connecting with facebook allows me to see other movies my friends watch, which was interesting, but not very useful. I realize I dont watch enough movies and TV to even know which of my friends have similar likes and interests.
4. Very easy to skip to certain parts of the movie quickly. Yes, I only watch the songs and skip most of the movie (grin)
5. Below each movie page there are important clips (between 2 and 3 min each) which are like the highlights reel. Loved that feature the most.
Things I did not like:
1. No support for mobile phone. Most of my work is now on my phone. Its a fairly large screen device, so I am not using my notebook for much. Since BoxTV is based on flash, support for mobile phones is non existent.
2. No sports and limited content for kids. If there was ever a reason to watch TV I’d buy it for NFL, tennis and cricket. Everything else is a waste of time at our home. Kids love many of the cartoon shows, and there were very few of them on BoxTV.
3. The filters dont work too well. If all I wanted to see was the list of latest movies, it shows me a bunch of clips (scenes) instead. What I thought it would show me is a list of the top recent movies.
4. Not enough integration with movie reviews. I’d love to find out from IMDB or rottentomatoes, which movies I should watch based on the popular list.
5. Not easy to search by actor / actress, etc. I tend to watch primarily by who’s in the movie, so this was still “in the works”.

Since joining Paramount in 2005, Stables has worked on more than 100 films and negotiated many of the film industry’s high profile brand partnerships. Notable alliances Stables has signed for the studio include General Motors’ long running association with the blockbuster “TRANSFORMERS” franchise; the original Audi R8 integration with “IRON MAN;” and BMWs’ global tie-in with “MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL.” Over the years, she has forged relationships for the studio with an impressive list of corporate giants including Pepsi, Nokia, Acer, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Dr. Pepper, Burger King, McDonalds, LG and 7Eleven in support of such key studio franchises as “STAR TREK,” “MISSION IMPOSSIBLE,” “TRANSFORMERS,” and “G.I. JOE,” among many other films.
In addition to building brand alliances for the studio tent pole film slate, Stables crafted the industry lauded integration of American Airlines in the Oscar winning film “UP IN THE AIR;” and brokered the most talked about film tie-ins of last year for “ANCHORMAN 2: THE LEGEND CONTINUES” including Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy in a national campaign for Dodge Durango, the ANCHORMAN-inspired Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, Miller Lites’ return of the original white cans, and the reissue of 70’s inspired Jockey briefs featured in the film.

She is a respected force in movie promotion circles for her ability to creatively balance the interests of corporate brands and top filmmakers while often delivering over $100 million dollars in additional promotional media support to the studio marketing campaign. Additionally, she leads a team responsible for all consumer products programs for new movie releases and the licensed merchandising of Paramount’s legendary film properties.

-Toyin Aimakhu denies ‘her engagement’ with Nollywood actor
YBTC NEWS-Popular Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimakhu, has denied reports of her engagement to a colleague in the industry.
The actress, while making a clarification in her Instagram page, described the reports as fallacious and should be disregarded.
Toyin wrote: “It has come to my attention reports from some quarters saying that I am about to get married to a fellow actor.
“This assertion, insinuation, and report are false and fallacious.
“I have respect for actors but I am not about to get married to anyone who is an actor.
“I have been busy with my work as an actor, working tirelessly on my TV, my lipstick launch and other businesses.
“The only relationship I have with any man in the industry is purely professional and it is high time we stop insinuating and spreading false rumors when we see two colleagues of opposite sex working together.

the wild party
“Danni Smith’s effervescent performance as Queenie is even more striking after seeing the actress in Passion earlier this year, where she gave a Jeff award-winning turn as the sullen, withdrawn Fosca. The brazen Queenie is the polar opposite of Fosca, giving Smith the opportunity to showcase her keen ability to completely transform into whatever character she’s given. From her vocal quality to her body language and facial expressions, Smith is one of the great chameleons of the current non-equity musical theater scene, and she’s had an exceptional year with two meaty roles that have pushed her to new heights.” -Oliver Sava
“Danni Smith, for whom no role is apparently too challenging or difficult, convincingly brings Queenie to full, voluptuous life. Strutting her seductive stuff in “Queenie Wazza Blonde,” pumping the party into high gear with her titillating “Black Bottom” and “The Lowdown-down” or baring her soul in “What I Need” and “People Like Us,” this ever-versatile actress continues to surprise and amaze in every part she plays.” -Colin Douglas
“Danni Smith, filled with pent up emotions just waiting to let loose, leads the cast as Queenie. Queenie at first appears as the usual dumb blonde chorine, but as her layers are peeled away we finally see what’s under all that makeup; a scared person just trying to find her way in the world like the rest of us. Honestly, it took me a bit to warm up to Smith’s performance, but as Queenie became more vulnerable so did Smith and her emotional journey packed a wallop by the end. One of her finest moments was during the beautiful duet [People Like Us] performed with her new love interest Black (played with perfect charm and charisma by Patrick Falcon.)” -Rand Ringgenberg
“The show is headed by the phenomenal effervescent and stunning actress Danni Smith who is as good as she’s ever been. Smith’s Queenie is ominously reminiscent of a distraught Marilyn Monroe just as her life was falling apart. Smith goes against what’s obvious in the text and doesn’t play up the vicious confident sexuality in her character. Instead she uses Queenie’s sexual ambition more as an emotional tool to fill a void for her own lack of self-worth.
There is a great deal of warmth in Smith’s Queenie and it offers us some surprising shades of vulnerability hidden underneath her layers of vanity. Early in the show Queenie sings about coming from a small town to Manhattan, and later that evening when Queenie becomes overwhelmed with emotions after a confrontation with Burrs we hear small traces of that small town girl accent re-emerge through the painful breaks in her voice. They’re small reminders of the happy girl she used to be.” -Justin LeClaire
“Featuring white-hot performances from the likes of Danni Smith...Smith, who's impressed in a number of roles here and at Theo Ubique in recent years, delivers her best work yet in a flinty, honest (and gorgeously sung) portrayal of a woman who can't quite convince herself she deserves better than she has.” -Kris Vire


And the Oscar Goes to … a Film From a Video Game
The intersection of video games and cinematic storytelling has given rise to a new dimension of creativity, blurring the lines between these two mediums. The recent Academy Award win for the documentary short "Colette," featured within the VR game Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, is a testament to the evolving landscape of artistic expression. This article delves into the extraordinary journey of how "Colette" made history by claiming an Oscar from within the realm of a video game.
A Fusion of Media: Video Games and Cinema
The collaboration between video games and cinema is a dynamic field that has evolved over the years. Video games have increasingly embraced narrative storytelling, integrating cinematic cutscenes and immersive narratives to enhance player engagement. This fusion has given rise to a new type of storytelling experience that captivates players with both interactive gameplay and cinematic sequences.
"Colette": A Poignant Tale
"Colette," the documentary short at the heart of the story, is a moving and emotional account of a French Resistance fighter who revisits the place where her brother was killed during World War II. The documentary was incorporated as part of the VR game "Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond," developed by Respawn Entertainment. The integration of a heartfelt story into a video game demonstrates the medium's potential to deliver impactful narratives.
The Unconventional Path to an Oscar
"Colette" embarked on an unconventional journey, transitioning from a part of a video game to the Oscar stage. The film was directed by Anthony Giacchino and produced by Oculus Studios, Respawn Entertainment, and The Guardian. Its inclusion in a video game highlights the growing potential of interactive media to weave emotionally resonant narratives.
A Historic Academy Award Win
"Colette" garnered significant attention not only for its compelling storytelling but also for its groundbreaking achievement. At the 94th Academy Awards, the film won the Oscar for Best Documentary (Short Subject), marking the first time an Academy Award was won by content within a video game. The win solidified the legitimacy of narrative experiences within video games as a viable form of cinematic storytelling.
Expanding the Possibilities
The success of "Colette" signifies a new frontier in the artistic potential of video games. It showcases the capability of interactive media to tell meaningful stories that resonate deeply with audiences. This achievement may inspire future collaborations between filmmakers and game developers, expanding the possibilities for storytelling across both mediums.
The triumph of "Colette" at the Oscars is a testament to the evolving landscape of creativity and storytelling. Video games are no longer confined to entertainment alone; they are becoming platforms for impactful narratives that can touch hearts, prompt reflection, and even win the highest honors in the film industry. The success of "Colette" not only celebrates the convergence of video games and cinema but also paves the way for innovative collaborations that will shape the future of storytelling.

On the subject of what’s right and what’s wrong or what’s good and what’s evil, everybody has a very different opinion which they take directly to heart. If a poor man steals a loaf of bread from a merchant to feed his family, then both parties will have completely different views on the whole situation. The merchant may see this as a criminal act since he’s being cheated out of his rightfully-earned profit while the poor man may see it as being just because he needs to do whatever he can in order to help his starving family survive. Some of the best fiction had provided us with stories, settings, and characters that find creative ways to depict how one man’s good is another man’s evil. In many of the films we’ve watched in our Japanese Films course, the filmmakers examine this theme in full detail and show that in many cases, their characters are neither good nor evil, but are just doing what they feel is best for themselves. Going in chronological order, I’m going to examine several of the films from the course curriculum and describe how, and to which degree they relay this theme of good and evil being lost among personal beliefs.
One of the films we’ve watched that gets this point across very well is the original Godzilla, from 1954. What could have easily been just an entertaining giant monster movie (which was what the series quickly turned into after this first entry in the world-renowned franchise) actually turned out to be an interesting look into how people view any of their actions when faced with imminent danger is being okay. During the film, when people discovered that Godzilla, a sleeping dinosaur which was mutated and woken up by nuclear testing, was what had been attacking shipping boats, several world powers donate their help, in the form of military action, in order to vanquish the monster. Although most of these people had not realized it at the time, the film made it pretty clear that Godzilla was not trying to kill all of them off, but rather just trying to survive by finding anything that he could consider edible that was floating near his home. I believe this was made most apparent when he makes his first appearance in front of everybody on Odo Island. Despite looking like a horrifying beast to all those who got a good look at him on the island, he didn’t harm anybody nor show any signs that he intended to. The only instance in which he actually started attacking people was after the American naval forces in Japan dropped depth charges onto his home, so his actions were being represented as self-defense in the film. It was clear that we were interpreting our own actions as being just when attacking Godzilla for his “evil” deeds, while the big lug obviously thought we were the bad guys and that he was right in demolishing Tokyo. Seeing as how there are so many parallels to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in this film, these events could also be meant to serve as a symbol of how both the Japanese and American armies during World War II assumed that they were the ones who were the good guys, while the other power was the true face of evil.
Another Japanese film that shows just how much good and evil can be blurred is Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai, which tells a tale of how a village full of farmers must learn how to live and work together with a small group of samurai in order to help save their crops from a bandit gang. The two groups had some tension growing between them initially when the samurai first arrived at the village, but it was when the samurai discovered that one of the farmers, Manzo, had samurai armor and weapons stored away in his basement, that they really started to see each other in a negative light. Several of the samurai immediately realize that the only way the farmers could have gotten hold of this equipment was if they killed other wounded samurai and stole it from them. One of the samurai, Kyuzo, started talking about how he felt like killing every last one of the farmers, because he now feels like they are the evil ones for killing the already beaten-down samurai in order to steal from them. Another one of the samurai, named Kikuchiyo, got riled up from this comment and started telling them that even though every farmer in Japan is likely a coward or a crook, they aren’t the ones at fault for their actions. Rather, according to Kikuchiyo, it is the samurai who are to blame, because they are the ones who originally committed such horrible atrocities to the farmers, forcing them to act as such just so they could have a chance at surviving. He was telling them that it was the farmers who thought they were the good guys and that the samurai were evil, so they felt that their acts were acceptable. Although there were several other instances like this where one side felt like it was being wronged by the other, the two of them were eventually able to overcome their differences and conquer the bandits, thus realizing that they both had reasons for everything they did.
Nagisa Oshima was able to address this theme in a different social context in his 1968 feature film, Death by Hanging. In this movie, a Korean man, named R, who’s been living in Japan his entire life and has constantly been hostility from the native people is getting ready to meet his fate. He was convicted of raping and murdering a young Japanese girl by way of the Japanese court system, and so he was sentenced to be hung. R survives being hung only to lose his memory, at which point all the officials involved realize that they can’t execute him because he won’t be able to recognize it as a punishment if he doesn’t remember committing any crime. The officers spend the entire movie trying desperately to make R remember that he committed a crime and must be punished for it, treating him as the villain of this story. R, on the other hand, seems to think no differently of the officers and other officials during the entire time this is playing out. He doesn’t see them as being good or evil, even when he’s finally recovered his memory in spite of the way they humiliated his family and looked down on him simply because of his race, because they haven’t hung him yet. He tells them that if they do decide to hang him, then they will be the murderers. They still execute him without feeling any remorse, and R still doesn’t feel guilty about committing his crime even though he acknowledges doing it. What this said to me was that the director felt that whether or not someone feels like their actions were justified, as long as they don’t feel guilty then they are not the villains of their own story.
There are many who can rightfully claim that there is very little good that can be found in the dark, crime-ridden streets of Neo-Tokyo in the anime action-thriller, Akira. Although there are many instances of a good vs. evil theme throughout this film, I’m only going to stick to the one which I feel is the most important. After Tetsuo had contact with one of the childlike Espers and begins to develop his powers, he starts lashing out at the world and all those who he felt had wronged him during his lifetime, which were his idea of all things “evil”. Among them was his best friend, Kaneda, whom Tetsuo felt had treated him like a defenseless little kid his whole life, and was always coming to the rescue for. Over time, this had built up a very powerful inferiority complex in Tetsuo, which apparently made him feel like was weak, or he couldn’t handle himself. When he got this new power, he realized that he could take on the world that was so cruel and vicious to him, which includes his childhood friend, whom he now sees as evil. Kaneda, now on a mission to kill Tetsuo before his power trip drives to do some serious damage, sees him as being the evil one because he’s completely lost his sense of reason thanks to his newly-developed powers. I’ve always thought that the lesson taken away from this movie was that having ultimate power can corrupt an individual to the point where he becomes paranoid enough that he eventually sees everyone and everything as his enemy, regardless of whether he is a good person or not.
The final movie that I wanted to examine from our class curriculum is a much more recent release, titled Hana-Bi (Fireworks). The plot of this film is that two cops have recently retired from the force; one, Hirobe, being forced to by way of a serious injury, and the other is his partner, Nishi, who retires willfully after Hirobe’s accident. While Hirobe is trying to pass the time anyway he can while slowly drifting off into a manic depression because his family left him after his accident, Nishi is trying to show his slowly dying wife a good time while either avoiding or fighting Yakuza loan sharks. Nishi definitely has the more prominent role than his partner, but what I feel I need to question is whether or not a character like Nishi can really be considered a “good guy”. Granted, he is trying his best to help his wife have fun before she dies and help Hirobe cope with his losses and current state of mind, but when he is dealing with the Yakuza members constantly showing up at his doorstep, he doesn’t pull any punches. He kills and injures these guys in some pretty gruesome, yet pretty cool ways, but it makes him seem like a pretty scary guy whenever he does. I can understand why he’d do all of those things to the gangsters, though, because otherwise they would just keep coming back to get him every time they get the opportunity. Again, this shows that which actions are “good” and which are “evil” are left entirely up to personal interpretation.
The theme of what is truly good and evil has been interpreted pretty widely across the big spectrum of films that have come out in Japan over the last century. Whether the characters are what many people would consider “pure” good and “pure” evil, or whether the line between both seems to be more blurry, filmmakers have managed to make their views on this subject work well in the contexts that they designed. Hopefully, we will see more creative interpretations coming to theaters near us for a long time to come.

Statement Of Intent My intent for this project is to create a live action, horror-influenced film. However, I am going to try and create more of a gloomy drama with horror features as opposed to a ‘true’ horror film. In order to do this, I am going to have a plot that relies more on the characters and their actions, and instead use horror inspirations in the style of film making. In particular, I am hoping to experiment with the use of light and sound to create unease. For my film, there are two main influences that I will work from. One is a film, and one is a videogame series.
They all share similar styles and themes, which is why I have chosen to use them as influences in my work. Influence 1: The first influence is a film called ‘The Ghost’. It is a Korean horror film by Tae-Kyung Kim. From this, I have decided to draw upon the technique, where dreams and flashbacks give information and create atmosphere. The main reason for this in ‘The Ghost’ is because the main character suffers from amnesia, and gradually recalls things. In my film, I am planing for the character to be thinking back over the series of events that lead to what is happening at the present moment and so things will be gradually revealed.
Also, I am intrigued by the use of lighting in ‘The Ghost’. Instead of using the red lighting typical in horror films, it uses dark, shadowed lighting with green and blue tints, an example being the scenes with the main character’s mother. During these scenes, the lighting is very dark, with lots of shadows in the room, and a green tint to the light, which helps with the horror aspect of the film, which involves drowning, as it gives the feel of being underwater. This holds significance in that film due to the storyline, but I am still interested in the use of different colours and levels of lighting to create atmosphere.
I hope to use this in my own film. Influence 2: The second, and possibly stronger inspiration I have chosen is the ‘Silent Hill’ Playstation game series, specifically the first and second games. I plan to study their style in mise-en-scene, sound, and camerawork in the cutscenes. The mise-en-scene often contains a lot of symbolism in it, with small details such as pictures on walls and items on desks often holding significance to the plot or characters. There is particular emphasis placed on symbolism in nightmares and the fears and subconscious feelings of the characters.
One example is the iconic monster ‘Pyramid Head’, which is a monster that features a lot in the second game. It is found out towards the end of the game that it is in fact a nightmare version of a painting of a traditional town executioner found in town. This has symbolism because the main character has a desire to be punished that is manifested as Pyramid Head – a monstrous version of an executioner. Mise-en-scene is used very effectively in the first game, with lots of things such as pictures of monsters/origins of monsters scattered around, and many items used in solving puzzles being related to children’s books.
These all reference the mind of the child from which the nightmare came from. The soundtrack, particularly in the first game, is unique. Instead of using recognisable music, the soundtrack is mostly made up of scraping, squeaking and tapping noises that get louder and more chaotic when tension is meant to build. A good example of this is near the end of the game, where several items are needed to unlock a door. As they are put in one by one, the soundtrack starts out as silence, then an ominous hum, then a slight tapping is added. A high-pitched whistle starts soon afterwards, and the tapping grows louder and more echoing.
Then the hum grows louder and the tapping turns into clattering, as if someone is hitting a metal sheet. By the time that all the items are in place, the noise has become metallic crashing, a screeching noise like a whistling kettle, all underlaid by a low, monotonous hum. This build of tension is created using entirely sound. The videogames also use restricted vision extremely well. The horror aspect is almost entirely based on your character’s vision being incredibly restricted, with predominantly dark locations illuminated by torchlight. For the most part, you are aware of a monster being nearby without knowing where or what it is.
This helps give a feeling of powerlessness as well as fear and tension, which I am hoping to include in my film. Finally, the ‘camerawork’ in the cutscenes, especially the second game, is very good. There is a particularly effective close-up of one character where it shows her face and a knife that she was going to use to kill herself, making both her expression and her intent clear in one shot. Another good piece of ‘camerawork’ is in a confrontation between two characters where the angle changes rapidly, making the whole thing feel disjointed, unnerving and surreal. My Film In my film, I am planning to make a psychological horror-drama.
I am going to utilise the theme that runs through both my inspirational materials, which is the idea of the past and buried horrors in the mind of an individual surfacing to haunt them. My intention is not so much to shock the audience with these things, but to create a feeling of unease and mystery. As mentioned earlier, to portray the main character’s feelings of fear and isolation, I am going to look into the use of restricted lighting, such as torchlight or single areas of light in darkened places to show how the character feels as if they are lost in shadows and all alone.
Another lighting device I will use is the colour of the light. I am especially interested in blue-tinted light, as it can either make a scene seem dark and shadowy or bleached out depending on the shade of blue, and also lends a dreamlike feel to the scene, which furthers the idea I am planning to use, where the whole story could be either a real haunting or a delusion.
For camerawork, the two predominant shots will be close-ups to show emotion, and long shots to make the characters seem small and alone. The strong and complex symbolism used in ‘Silent Hill’ will be difficult to reproduce in a short film, so I will instead use mise-en-scene to signify whether or not something is a dream, and also refer to important plot devices, such as a photograph of the main character and their dead friend appearing a lot.
With sound, I am going to experiment with strange noises, particularly scraping, tapping and whispering as well as other quiet noises to create an atmosphere of tension, as if there is something else there that cannot be seen. This will be used instead of real music. Overall, through these features, I hope to create tension, mystery and unease, as well as portray the fragile mindset of the main character, and their growing distress as events continue.
