A week after the iPhone4 was released, a USC cinema graduate student from Sacramento is making news online and with Mac World movers and shakers.

I can’t think of any others off the top of my head.  If you know of any, let me know.

Sacramento filmmaker Deon Taylor is on the verge of a huge breakthrough: a national theatrical release for his horror film, “Chain Letter,” that was filmed here.

Saw a poster for this (Banksy’s Exit Through the Gift Shop) and was intrigued.  Sorry, Sacramento hasn’t been deemed cool enough to get a showing.

more about “The Most Expensive Documentary Ever M…“, posted with vodpod

Was reading in Film and Digital Times about the film Oceans and all of the work that went into it. From the producers and directors of Winged Migration, it is a film that was five years in the making.  It opens in the US on April 22nd, and is distributed by DisneyNature. Here is a link to the French trailer, which is a little less “Disneyfied”

Also, yesterday the homie Seitu showed me a pretty cool app for Filmmakers.  Movie Slate. A handy feature is that you can use it to import Final Cut XML.

Movie Slate is a digital slate, clapper board, shot log, and shot notepad— designed for use with film, television, documentaries, interviews, and home movies.
