The Pitch: On this week’s episode of The Simpsons, Lisa makes a documentary about her family for a school project and is encouraged to enter the film into the Sundance Film Festival. (…)

If you still haven’t seen The Duplass Brothers’ The Puffy Chair, you should netflix it now because it’s everything that is right with real independent filmmaking. (…)

It must be really hard to cut a good movie trailer, especially for a bad movie. But it always amazes me when great films sometimes have such horrible movie trailers. (…)

I’ve now seen Jonathan Levine’s The Wackness three times - twice at the Sundance Film Festival where it won the Dramatic Audience Award (which explains why I screened the film a second time during award day), and again at a secret screening during the South By South West Film Festival in Austin Texas.
