Bob and I headed out to La Guardia Airport 2/15 for a 11am flight to attend a screening of our film KNOW WHO YOUR TALKING TO at the Magnolia Independent Film Festival in Starkville, Mississippi but we never got there. The earlier snowstorm got us bumped and placed on standby for two days(Thurs and Fri). Our festival contacts were going back and forth to the airport to pick us up and were worried. It was totally draining and disappointing. We really wanted to be at the festival. After two days of...

The unique power of film is being recognized beyond the USA with the acceptance of Malcolm Entertainment's, "KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO" as an official selection of the Pumelo International Film Festival in Mumbai, India 3/5-3/8/07. Sometimes just a whiff of a good story can lead to a buzz and then growing interest in a movie that we're very, very proud of and firmly entrenched in reality from a story standpoint. Reviews have been good and encourage us that we have somet...
We were just informed that our short film KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO has become an official selection at the Magnolia Independent Film Festival 2007. Come on out and hang out in Starkville, Mississippi 2/15-2/17/07 with Malcolm Entertainment and all the other filmmakers and watch movies and have a ball. Why Not?...
Just wanted to let our friends know how the Splitting Hairs 2.0: Case Cold production is coming along. Up to this point we have 40 minutes of the film completed and about another 20 minutes to go. We're acutally creating the ending of the movie as we go, which is quite intersting and somewhat difficult. SP 2.0 is Malcolm Entertainment's first feature film and it is being made at a price to Bob and myself. Not in terms of money but stress. Scheduling a shooting schedule that brings the...
we had a great time in casa grande over the weekend. there's something about watching your own films in the desert on the big screen that makes it all worth the effort and time that we put out to make the films happen. the people were great despite the low turnout. it's the first year of night gallery film festival's existence but it will get better as the buzz is created. we're glad we went....

Trained in the Ways of Men is a powerful new documentary by filmmaker Shelly Provost which investigates the controversial events surrounding the murder of Gwen Araujo in 2002.
On the eve of the premiere of the film, Shelly and Gwen's mother, Sylvia Guerrero, held an emotional and thought-provoking press conference.
There's nothing better than being able to attend screenings of films so diverse in their outlooks that it almost borders on the surreal. Now that Cinequest has concluded, and with this in mind, I would like to reflect upon couple more favorites of mine, Russell P. Marleau's The Curiosity of Chance, and Chris Power and Nathan Hynes' Long Pigs.The Curiosity of Chance is a hugely entertaining high school musical romp that is everything the John Hughes collection should have been. Russ M...

No one seems better suited to transform Jhumpa Lahiri’s touching prose into film than Mira Nair. Both the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of INTERPRETER OF MALADIES and the director of SALAAM BOMBAY and MONSOON WEDDING know firsthand about the Indian-American immigrant experience, the clash of cultures, and the search for identity that informs their art. Adapted from Lahiri’s eponymous first novel, published in 2003, the deeply felt family drama doesn’t disappoint.The narrative unfolds diffe...
