"UNDER THE SKIN" TRAILER

Friday, Sep 6, 2013 11:30AM

Hi, guys.

I've always been a big fan of movie trailers that succeed in sparking interest without revealing too much. The trailer for Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" comes to mind. Two days ago, the trailer for Jonathan Glazer's new film, "Under The Skin," came out. It's quite brief at 53 seconds, but very effective. I can't wait to see the film. Here, have a look for yourself and tell me what you think...

"THE CANYONS" TO PLAY ON THE LIDO!

Wednesday, Jun 5, 2013 11:39PM

By Nick Vivarelli
ROME — Paul Schrader will preside over the jury of the Venice Film Festival’s Horizons section for cutting-edge works and also bring his buzzed-about “The Canyons” to the Lido.

Scripted by Bret Easton Ellis and starring Lindsay Lohan and porn star James Deen, who plays a scheming movie producer in contempo Los Angeles, “The Canyons” will launch internationally from the Lido, out-of-competition, after reportedly world-preeming in a special presentation at Lincoln Center in New York in early summer day-and-date with its digital release via IFC Films.

Micro-budget pic, partly set in Malibu, is a depiction of contempo Los Angeles and young Hollywood in the so-called post-theatrical era.

Produced by Braxton Pope, pic has been financed through a crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter.

“The festival is happy to offer its international public the premiere of a long-awaited film, a lucid reflection on today’s Hollywood and, at the same time, an example of a new way to produce films,” said Venice topper Alberto Barbera in a statement.

The Venice Horizons section is dedicated to films representing the latest aesthetic expressive and production trends in international cinema.

As previously announced Bernardo Bertolucci will preside over the main Venice jury.

Like last year, the Lido fest will be a lean affair, with 18 pics in competish, 18 in Horizons, plus some out-of-competish entries and Venice Classics.

Venice will run Aug. 28-Sept. 7.

"ROSE AND RODNEY" KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN

Sunday, Mar 10, 2013 5:43AM

Hi, guys.

I don't normally work in the short film format, but the script for this one really spoke to me and I'm serving as Executive Producer. Now, we have 3 days left to reach our funding goal on Kickstarter and we need your help.

The writer/director, Matthew Reilly, won an award at Cannes for his last film and I have high hopes for this one.

Give what you can. You'll be really glad you did. Trust me. Click on the link below:

"TO THE WONDER" POSTER AND TRAILER

I quite like the poster and trailer for Terrence Malick's upcoming film, "To The Wonder." I love Javier Bardem's voice-over. Have a look, give it a listen:

"AMOUR"

Monday, Mar 4, 2013 1:28AM

It was difficult for me to watch Michael Haneke's new film, "Amour," for reasons that will be obvious to some, but, having now done so, I can say that it was by far the best film of the nine Oscar nominees last year. In fact, if I'd won the Oscar for writing, producing, or directing any other film last year, I don't think I would've felt like I truly deserved it. Really. -Dax

Dax, wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I don't know if you'll get home for the holidays, but wherever you are, I hope you are surrounded by loving friends.

Best wishes for a great 2013. Maybe this year there will bring Peace on Earth and Good Will Toward Men. If not that then at least a good movie deal for you! Seriously, just wishing you the best.

Dax Phelan was born in St. Louis, MO on July 8, 1975. He graduated from St. Louis Country Day School in 1994 and then moved to Dallas, TX, in order to pursue a BA in Pre-Med (Biology) at Southern Methodist University.

It was during his first semester at university that Phelan, a film lover since childhood, began writing his first screenplay. The screenwriting bug took hold over Phelan. He eventually dropped out of the Pre-Med program and enrolled in some Cinema
and English Literature classes.

Phelan graduated with BAs in Communication Arts: Cinema and English Literature with a Creative Writing Specialization in 1997 and then moved to Los Angeles, CA to attend graduate school at the American Film Institute in 1998.

During the summer of 1999, Phelan began working as a development intern for veteran producer Mace Neufeld (“The Omen,” “No Way Out,” “The Hunt For Red October,” etc.) at Paramount Pictures.

In 2000, when Phelan graduated from the American Film Institute with an MFA in Screenwriting, Neufeld hired him as Story Editor under his new first look deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment. In 2001, Neufeld promoted Phelan to Creative Executive. During his tenure at Mace Neufeld Productions, Phelan worked on such projects as “The General’s Daughter,” “The Sum of All Fears,” and “Asylum.”

In 2003, after selling his first screenplay, Phelan left Mace Neufeld Productions, in order to write full-time.

Since then, Phelan has written both original work and adaptations in a variety of genres, trying to work on whatever project excites him the most at the moment. Some of his credits include:
