Pat Alexander clearly it should move to Eugene, Oregon. I am not biased in any way.
Santa Fe, NM.
In The Netherlands, Madurodam.
Honestly though, I think if it actually does move from Park City it should not move to a major city. Rather, it should go to a city that has the capacity to handle the festival but also be away from the major cultural and economic centers. Ideally, the place would have natural beauty as well.

A sad state of affairs, indeed. Coppola deserves better.
It's hard to believe a director like Francis Ford Coppola has had problems finding a home for "Megalopolis," Nick Phillips. I think he's eventually gonna find a home for it. I'm looking forward to see...

Maybe it's just a bloated, indulgent film? You can't always rest on your laurels. Anyone see Coppola's Youth Without Youth? It was a disaster.
It's been a minute since we had an update on the Rust shooting incident. At the time, if you look back at my posts, my opinion as someone with decades of set experience - and having directed and produced lots of action and stunt sequences - was that the armorer was primarily to blame, as well as the...

Stephen Folker exactly. You never point a prop gun that can fire anything at anyone directly. Always off to the side. While replica guns can be held to heads and put in mouths because they have no fir...

M LaVoie Agree with you 100% on this.
Thanks Stephen & M!
Based on her recorded phone calls in prison, the armorer showed little remorse and a jarring lack of responsibility for her actions.
I really wanna see "Kill Bill: Vol 3," Nick Phillips. I would've liked to see "The Movie Critic" too. Maybe we'll get to see both.
The one frontier we haven't really seen Tarantino play around with is Sci-Fi. Could he possibly end on a really out there Sci-Fi flick?

Hi All! I've been busy working All American and haven't been able to post/comment this past month or so! Thought I'd post a little bit about my show. Thing about TV is no matter how big or small the episode is, it's 8 days to shoot. Or at least on regular network/cable show. Sometimes it's 7, we are...

Maurice Vaughan - it’s slightly different than Shogun but is binge worthy and easy to watch.
Ashley, think of me every other episode. Starting at the second one. It’s a fun season leading up to some good stuff, especially if you’re a fan!
I'm gonna check out "All Amercian" tonight, Xochi Blymyer.
Congratulations Xochi and wishing you continued success!! Appreciate your sharing of behind the scenes!
I watched the first episode of "All American" last night, Xochi Blymyer. Whoa! I can tell it's gonna be an incredible series! Can't wait to check out the next episode.

“To have or not to have production insurance- the most important question. Short answer? YES. Always, yes. Production insurance is a necessary part of the production process that many independent creators love to avoid, whether to “save” money or avoid all the paperwork. However, much like car, heal...
