]]> No, not the 1991 Nicolas Roeg film. Here is the brutal reality of making the small, personal low-budget digital film, Puccini For Beginners.

It begs the question, why do you need a production company at all?

]]> CinemaTech has some great coverage of a filmmaker panel, Creative Independence at Sundance. Names like Ted Hope, Christine Vachon and Todd Haynes speak of the importance of final cut, why digital is giving us more choice then we know what to do with and why simultaneous release will do more harm than good for the rising independent filmmaker.

]]> Today is the memorable day. It marks the release of the Steven Soderbergh film, Bubble. It’s being released in theater, on cable with DVD to follow in a couple of days. Do I think Bubble is going to shake the rafters? Probably not. It’s a small experimental film BUT it will set a precedence.

Cinematical has an interview with Mark Cuban and his thoughts on this. Keep in mind when reading this that Cuban is a theater owner. So if the creation and distribution of smaller, more challenging films is something you want to see, participate in this experiment by supporting this film and films like it.

Oh yeah, also released today, Big Momma’s House 2. You could go see that too.

Some more thoughts from Cinema Tech.

]]> In my attempt to include more blog entries related to the craft of acting I came across this article via the Association for Psychological Science. It reveals how actors train themselves to memorize entire scripts effortlessly.

Anyone with links to interesting sites about the craft of acting please leave links in your comment.
