State of the Fest | Part one: Do festivals matter? - The Circuit In the pantheon of viable choices for getting your film seen, film festivals continue to thrive (seems there’s a new one born every minute, right?), and that’s because, putting aside economic factors...
Exhibition
Week of Haircuts and Screenings
It's time to pull out the razor blades, get a trim, and make it look like you've taken care of yourself for the past 6 months. That's right, the parents are coming. Just about every guy has gone under the scissors, myself included. What's the occasion? The summation...
Forgetting the Audience (and Sarah Marshall)
I didn't think much about wanting to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but I keep seeing signs that maybe I should. Such as a 5-star review on the radio when I turn on the car, or Roeper's undying love for this movie plastered in a full page New York Times ad. So now I...

Full Frame Film Festival
Being that our second semester was mainly dominated by documentaries, The Film School supports us in going to the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, which ran from April 12-15 in Durham, NC. I know this post is slightly overdue, but I was waiting for the Festival...
The F1 Screening (And My Blunder Got Bigger)
We had our F1 screening Thursday night at the film school, in the glamor lacking Mix A theater (the space wasn't designed to be a theater, so the rows are tightly layered, creating one of the most horrible places to sit for prolonged periods of time). The program was...
