The film has been locked and is premiering at Midtown Art Cinema on Wednesday, February 21st at 7:30pm. Check out the website for more stuff. Even though it is currently transitioning from production blog to marketing page, you will find the important news, trailers, screenings and times. www.freelancemovie.com I would really like for you guys to see it, review it, comment on it, since its from the area and by the area for the area! Its a full feature dark comedy. Film Title: FreeLance Short Synopsis: Elliot Guillespse seeks to become the worlds greatest investigative reporter, ala his idol, Rod Reel. A daunting task considering he comprises a news crew of one, can't drive, and still lives in his mother's basement. To aid him in his quest Elliot inlists Toby, a depressed and lonely suburban taxi driver, to be his cameraman. The two quest for the big scoop, or what passes for the big scoop in the suburban town in which they live. Complicating matters is Roy Henry, Elliots former childhood bully, now his mothers lover, and his partner in a lawn-care business. Ellioot slips further and further into psychosis as his dream seems unattainable. It would seem that to make the news, one may truly have to MAKE the news. PROGRAMMING DESCRIPTORS. FORMS: Narrative Fiction, Feature GENRES: Comedy, Independent, Dramedy NICHES: Student, Mature/Adult Runtime: 1 hour + GALA: There are plans for an opening Gala, so just stick around after the showing with your ticket stub and we'll go chat over some brew, water, or whatever.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: David Milch - "Producer of Deadwood" on his new show John from Cincinnati 1. The description of the series as "surf noir." 2. This genre-bending description: "There is a dysfunctional family viewed through the twin prisms of surfing and heroin addiction, a space alien and a lawyer named Dickstein. It should be mentioned that some characters occasionally levitate." 3. Milch is wise and self-reflective enough to recognize that "the smart money is that this show is about a stupid subject." 4. When asked about the look of the show, Milch invokes his mentor, poet laureate Robert Penn Warren. "Have you ever seen moonlight on the Wabash as the diesel rigs boom by? Have you ever wondered how the moonlit continent might look through the tearless and unblinking distance of God's wide eye. I have been working to make sure that the camera is stationed at a tearless and unblinking distance." 5. Milch is a believer in his own gifts. "I am an instrument of purposes that I don't fully understand. Time will tell whether I am a wing nut or a megalomaniac. The difference between a cult and faith is time. I believe that we are a single organism, and that something is at stake in this particular moment." David Lynch on Transcendental Meditation We are all different at the surface and one at the core, unity. We are one world family. On the surface, different - I like this, you don't like this. And we catch ideas. Sometimes, we catch an idea that we fall in love with. And if it's a cinema idea, we see what cinema could do to that idea and we're rolling. Stories hold conflict and contrast, highs and lows, life and death, and the human struggle and all kinds of things. But the artist doesn't have to suffer to show suffering. You gotta understand it. You don't have to die to do a death scene. You just have to understand it in your own way, but understanding is the thing, understand this suffering, this anger, this character. And you go like that. I thought when I started meditation that I was going to get real calm and peaceful and it's going to be over. It's not that way, it's so energetic. That's where all the energy and creativity is. Everything that is a thing has emerged out of this field. So it's tremendous creativity. And you don't lose your edge, you get more, stronger feeling for something and it can be magnified. And you don't get sleepy and laidback in this kind of flat-line peace. It's a dynamic peace. It's very powerful, it's where all the power is. So the thing is you can make all these stories but you're separate from it. And that's the key. "All my movies are about strange worlds that you can't go into unless you build them and film them. That's what's so important about film to me. I just like going into strange worlds." Alfred Hitchcock "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it. " "The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder." "I never said all actors are cattle; what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle." Stanley Kubrick I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker. If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered. You sit at the board and suddenly your heart leaps. Your hand trembles to pick up the piece and move it. But what chess teaches you is that you must sit there calmly and think about whether it's really a good idea and whether there are other, better ideas. Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all. "I don't think that writers or painters or filmmakers function because they haveStanley Kubrick something they particularly want to say. They have something that they feel. And they like the art form; they like words, or the smell of paint, or celluloid and photographic images and working with actors. I don't think that any genuine artist has ever been oriented by some didactic point of view, even if he thought he was." Alfonso Cuaron on Children of Men And the rule #1 in this film is that whatever we see has to have a visual reference of stuff that now has become part of human consciousness and it's an iconography that mostly came out of the media. So that was the balance, how to make it the future but feel today and that every single thing as Emmanuel Lubezki, my cinematographer, kept saying we cannot afford to have one single film frame -- meaning 24 frames per second -- so one single photogram that is not commenting about the state of things. So that was the big challenge. On his masterful long shots..... The complication of the car attack, even if the production value is not as bombastic as the battle scene, the problem with the car attack is that you're in a vehicle in motion. So that becomes a real nightmare in terms of timings, and cues and stuff. More difficult than the timing of the birth scene because in one shot you see how this girl enters the room and delivers the baby. And so we have to plan that like 10 months beforehand, you know, for the girl to get pregnant, to follow her through the whole thing, for Clive Owen to learn how to deliver a baby, and for the baby to come right at the perfect moment in which the camera comes around the legs. So that was the toughest one. We never knew who the father was. We heard that he was yesterday at the premiere. The only thing we asked Clare is to try to make it like a mixed race kind of thing so that's the only clue that we have. Once again .... Werner Herzog "Coincidences always happen if you keep your mind open, while storyboards remain the instruments of cowards who do not trust in their own imagination and who are slaves of a matrix... If you get used to planning your shots based solely on aesthetics, you are never that far from kitsch." On Klaus Kinski: "People think we had a love-hate relationship. Well, I did not love him, nor did I hate him. We had mutual respect for each other, even as we both planned each other's murder." "Perhaps I seek certain utopian things, space for human honour and respect, landscapes not yet offended, planets that do not exist yet, dreamed landscapes. Very few people seek these images today." "If I had to climb into hell and wrestle the devil himself for one of my films, I would do it." "I despise formal restaurants. I find all of that formality to be very base and vile. I would much rather eat potato chips on the sidewalk." Sidney Pollack on speaking the voice of others "It's a way of understanding the world that functions beyond intellect and it teaches and touches through feeling and experience even when the experience is purely that of the imagination." "I don't value a film I've enjoyed making. If it's good, it's damned hard work." In the future, everybody is going to be a director. Somebody's got to live a real life so we have something to make a movie about. -Cameron Crowe -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: This series is part 2 of a 4 part series. You DO NOT need to attend all classes, as each covers a new topic. I've heard great things about the 1st class and wanted to recommend this to all in our group. It's cheap and well worth your time. FATH stands for Film Aesthetics Theory and History-- and it's a new workshop Gabe Wardell (the new Exec. Director) is teaching at IMAGE. It's a course designed for filmmakers (looking to brush up on technique) as well as novice film-goers who want to learn more about the history and techniques of the medium. The first installment covered the origins of cinema. This week (Thursday at 7pm ) we're covering sound from the advent of talking pictures to revolutionary use of sound by filmmakers from Rouben Mamoulian to JLG to Robert Altman. Thursday, February 22 / 7-10pm $20 IMAGE members, $25 general public The registration deadline has passed--but walk-ups are still welcome. http://www.imagefv.org/education_workshops.htm From theonlydrew at gmail.com Sun Feb 25 13:02:48 2007 From: theonlydrew at gmail.com (Drew Sawyer) Date: Thu May 17 01:12:15 2007 Subject: [Dailies - Everyone] FreeLance premiere, full house! (in honor of Specktimmick) Message-ID: <6C73520B-C1CF-4B3F-A440-E278B309507B@gmail.com> The Premiere of FreeLance was a full house, over 280 seats @ Midtown Art Cinema, this past week. Wow. We sold out every seat except for the front row. And someone really should rip those out anyways. I've never seen attendance like that to an independent feature at Midtown Art, and it was in the biggest theatre they had! Thanks so much for all those who came out to support local arts, local film, local locals. We had a blast, and we're getting ready to hit the festival circuit. The film is screening in Rome right now and we're anticipating another sell out or close to full booking, then we'll have everything submitted for the festivals and we'll return back to Atlanta, and show at the Lafont or Midtown again. Once again thanks to all of you who came out and saw FreeLance. And for those of you who didn't, I hate you. Actually, just come to the next screening in Atlanta, check the website for details: www.freelancemovie.com Drew Sawyer www.freelancemovie.com
