‘Time’ Director Garrett Bradley on Fox Rich Incarceration Doc

Director Garrett Bradley first met Fox Rich, a resilient woman fighting to free her husband serving a 60-year sentence, during the making of the filmmaker’s 2017 documentary “Alone,” about the ripple effects of incarceration on families. Her latest work, “Time,” which won the Directing Award for Documentary at Sundance this year, began as a 13-minute short film centered on Rich’s story. Initially, Bradley envisioned it just as a companion piece to “Alone.”

But once she was done shooting footage for the short, Rich handed her a bag of years’ worth of her family archive on mini DV tape, which she had been shooting since the ’90s. The gravitas of that responsibility, someone entrusting her with physical material containing precious and painful memories, pushed her to make an entire feature film on Rich, her loved ones, and their plight.

“I thought it was really important to find ways to extend the conversation around incarceration in a way that was familial and emotional and inherently feminist and Black and Southern,” Bradley said during a QA as part of the International Documentary Association screening series.

“It was a hundred hours of footage,” the director recalled. For the first time in her career, Bradley decided it was necessary to enlist an editor to help her with the film. That’s how seasoned editor Gabe Rhodes (“Matangi/Maya/M.I.A”) came on board. For Bradley, the deeply personal material Rich provided was a gift that would ensure she could transmit aspects of her personality and that of her family that otherwise would have been absent from the project. Watch the video of Bradley’s interview with Editor-at-Large Anne Thompson above.

Although Rich’s tapes were in color, Bradley went back and forth on the best visual approach for the film. “I ultimately felt like going to black-and-white really connected conceptually with this idea of time,” she explained. The formal decision also helped the textures of the archive material blend with the present-day footage in a uniform manner. “The black-and-white kind of helped it to feel more like a river and less of a collage,” she added.

Bradley’s approach to storytelling, one that’s closer to lyrical poetry than straightforward narrative construction, also relates to the larger themes she grapples with in “Time.”

“When you think about incarceration and when you think about the effects of a 60-year sentence, for instance, there’s an opportunity to, in the context of filmmaking, try to evoke a feeling that is just as powerful as a ‘fact,’” she explained. “In my mind, images and emotion and the way in which images make us feel becomes fact, and they stay with us and they live in us just as powerfully as letters and numbers do to a certain extent.”

In turn, one of the most strenuous parts of the editorial process for Bradley was deciding how to handle the details behind Rich and her husband Rob’s case. It was a question of to what extent they would delve into whys and how to balance that with the consequences of the events. And an important thing to remember, Bradley noted, is that Louisiana, where the incident that sent them both to prison, incarcerates people at a higher rate than the rest of the world.

“I would like to answer it in two ways. One is to say that the film is functioning off of the premise that it is just as much about the effects of incarceration as it is about the facts, and what actually happened and what caused these things, wanting people to understand what this means for family members and what it means for love and for Black unity. The other way of answering it is to say that racism is a really hard thing to explain in legal terms. In fact, I don’t think you can legally prove racism.”

Animal Crossing horror movie gets the green light

By  in May 4th 2021   No Comment »
Filed Under Movie Rental     Tags:      

A short horror movie about a monster trapped inside Animal Crossing: New Horizons is to be made into a feature-length motion picture.

Don’t Peek is a short film unaffiliated with Nintendo, which was shot during quarantine by director Julian Terry, and focuses on a woman playing her Switch in bed at night.

As she plays Animal Crossing, she realises that performing actions in her character’s bedroom (like opening drawers, turning on lights) makes the same actions happen in her actual room.

At first she’s impressed by this, but then she sees a figure with a grotesque face standing in an open doorway in the game.

The creature, called ZoZo, asks her: “Will you let me out?” She chooses ‘No’ and the invisible force opens her bedroom door and appears to crawl under her bedsheets.

Startled, she then chooses ‘Yes’ and the creature appears to go away, only to startle her with a jumpscare at the end of the short.

According to Deadline, the short is to be adapted into a feature-length film by Timur Bekmambetov, who previously produced the Unfriended horror movies and directed Night Watch and Day Watch.

Although the article doesn’t state who will be directing the film, Terry posted a comment under the video on YouTube stating that he would be in the director’s chair.

When asked by another commenter whether he was worried about being sued by Nintendo, Terry explained that the feature-length movie wouldn’t directly reference Animal Crossing, but would instead cover gaming more broadly.

“It’s not an Animal Crossing feature. We know we can’t legally get away with that,” he said. “The story is actually something else entirely and taps into the nostalgia of video games. I can’t wait for you all to see it.”

Terry has another short film currently being made into a full-length movie. Amblin Entertainment has picked up Whisper, a short film about a woman whose Amazon Echo starts picking up commands from a demon in her bedroom. This too ends with a jumpscare in a bed (as does Terry’s Annabelle-themed short The Nurse).

While it’s not clear yet what the feature-length version of Don’t Peek will be about, then, we have a good idea how we think it might end.

Video game adaptations have become a hot item in the movie and television world in recent years. Following the recent wave of successful video game movies, including Sonic the Hedgehog and Detective Pikachu, more projects are in development including Uncharted (starring Tom Holland), Mortal Kombat and Dreamworks’ Super Mario movie.

Sony is reportedly developing three movies and seven TV shows based on PlayStation games, as part of its new PlayStation Productions business.

The first TV series from PlayStation Productions will be an HBO adaptation of The Last of Us, with Game of Thrones actors Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey cast in the lead roles. The second is an action comedy based on the Twisted Metal series from Deadpool’s writers.

And according to a recent report in the film press, Star Wars and Dune actor Oscar Isaac will play Solid Snake in the planned Metal Gear Solid movie.

Coming 2 America: Memphis director talks movie magic and working with famed comedians

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis director is hoping to make movie magic with one of the most anticipated comedies in years.

Craig Brewer’s “Coming 2 America” premieres Friday on Amazon Prime Video.

Brewer is known locally for his 2005 indie film “Hustle and Flow,” which was filmed in Memphis.

Now, he’s riding high on the success of his more recent film, “Dolemite Is My Name.”

The movie starred comedic icon Eddie Murphy. Now, the two have teamed up again for a highly anticipated sequel. “Coming to America” was released in 1988.

Murphy is reprising his role as Prince Akeem of a frictional African nation.

FOX13′s Darcy Thomas sat down with Brewer for a one-on-one interview about the project.

“My biggest hope is when people see my movies, that it’s a good story, but ultimately they they felt something, that they felt something real in it they can connect to,” he said.

Brewer said the sequel is designed to be a celebration, not only of the original movie, but of its fan base as well.

In honor of the film’s release the FedExForum is flying the Zamunda flag outside the arena Friday.

BJP, RSS activists disrupt film shooting, 5 held

PALAKKAD: The shooting of the film ‘Neeyaam Nadhi’ was called off on Saturday following the protest by BJP and RSS activists at Katampazhipuram near here. They disrupted the shoot while the crew was picturising a scene which showed a girl coming out of a temple and being attracted towards a youth from a different religion. They were also irked by the “display of the flags of Muslim League and SFI near the temple premises”.

Later in the day, the Sreekrishnpauram police arrested five persons for disrupting the shoot of the film at the Vayilamkunnu temple.

The arrested are Subramanian, Babu, Sreejith , Sachithanandan and Sabareesh. They were charged with trespassing on the sets, illegally gathering at one place and for trying to indulge in violence. It was the first day of the shoot of the film and the second shot had to be abandoned after the BJP protestors alleged conspiracy in the storyline and in choosing Vayilamkunnu temple in Katampazhipuram for the shoot. Some of the activists also went on Facebook live during the protest.

The police later escorted the crew of the film to a different location. Salman Farris, the script writer and one of the three directors of the film, told TNIE that the temple committee members had granted them permission for the shoot. The temple authorities had also conducted a pooja and gave ‘payasam’ to the crew. He, however, said the permission was not given in writing.

“The first shot shows a girl coming out of a temple after praying. When the crew were about to shoot the second scene where she is shown being attracted towards a youth from a different religion, dressed in his traditional attire, walking on the road outside that the locals created problems,” said Salman Farris, who also plays the role of the youth from a different religion. He said the hand of a 13-year-old girl was injured during the ruckus created by BJP protesters.

“Chairs and the camera stand were also damaged,” he said, adding that the flags of Muslim League and SFI were being dried for the shoot and was not displayed near the temple premises as alleged. Salman said the shoot was done outside the temple and it should have been accepted by the protestors as a work of art.

He said the traditional Muslim attire was only a costume. He had scouted for many other locations like the Varikassery mana, but the daily rent of Rs 35,000 per day was not affordable. “As the rent was only Rs 3,000 per day at the temple, we opted for this location which was ideal for a Malabar-centric story,” he said. “It is unfortunate that the first day of the shoot itself was disrupted,” he said. Aashique, Shinu and Salman are the directors of the film. BJP district president E Krishnadas said no permission was granted for the shooting of the film. “Moreover, the theme of the film hurts the religious sentiments of the temple devotees and most of the characters were dressed in traditional Muslim attire,” he said.

‘RSS UNLEASHING TALIBAN-MODEL ATTACKS’

T’Puram: The Purogamana Kala Sahithya Sangham has strongly condemned the incident where RSS workers forcefully stopped the shooting of a film in Palakkad. In a statement, the organisation said under the cover of the Narendra Modi government, the RSS has been unleashing Taliban model attacks in the country. There is an urgent need for serious introspection to assess whether the country is moving towards a situation where prior permission from religious extremists is required for film shooting, said Purogamana Kala Sahithya Sangham president Shaji N Karun and secretary Asokan Charuvil.

Mexico: Butterfly Migration of Six Species Studied Using IAEA Data | IAEA

By  in May 2nd 2021   No Comment »
Filed Under Movie Rental     Tags:      

Thanks to an IAEA database and the use of stable isotope methods, scientists can determine the migration path of several types of insects, including butterflies. In a study recently published in the journal Diversity, a group of scientists presented the results of the migration of six species of butterflies, from Canada and the United States to Mexico. It is the first study of its kind to establish origins and migration paths of several species in Mexico. Based on this scientific data, authorities can develop strategies to protect these insects on their journey.

“Knowing where butterflies come from during migration helps to inform conservation strategies that may be needed to protect the resources in their breeding areas. Similarly, knowing where they go in winter helps to protect those habitats during the time they are there,” said Leonard Wassenaar, Head of the IAEA’s Isotope Hydrology Laboratory. “The linkage between geographic locations in the annual life cycle of butterflies cannot be established without using isotope methods.”

The research is based on measuring deuterium — a rare isotope of hydrogen — in rainwater, which is directly ingested by animals and humans. As rainwater and its deuterium composition are unique to the area where it rains, rainwater deuterium content serves as a direct marker that scientists can use to identify the origin of individual animals that were grown in different areas by measuring the amount of deuterium in hair, wings, claws, feathers or bones. For butterflies, the deuterium contents are measured in the wings and show the area where the insect was born.

While isotopes have been used for decades to establish with precision the migration paths of some insects, such as the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), the migration patterns and paths of dozens of other species of butterflies, insects and other migratory animals are yet to be established in Mexico and abroad.
