Sacramento Feature Film Almost Complete

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

It looks like they are almost done with Sensored, a locally produced and directed feature.  Looking forward to seeing it.

I see they had a screening in September.  In the future, they should invite Dumbworld to their viewing, so I can rave about it (or not) to my tens of readers.

From DIY Days Boston, Interview with Todd Dagres, Producer and Venture Capitalist, on How TV, Film and Digital Media is Changing

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

At DIY Days Boston, Todd Dagres, founder of Spark Capital, producer of Sundance entry TransSiberian, and venture capitalist (Twitter, Veoh, EQAL and Next New Networks) talks with Scott Kirsner of Cinematech on the future of the industry. Download here.  Todd is a smart guy with a love for film (he says it is a hobby for him, but he is a content investor).  I learned a lot.

Sacramento News and Review: Best of Sacramento 2008

Friday, September 26th, 2008

SNR’s annual “Best of Sacramento” edition is out in print today.  I can’t see Andy Nguyen’s as Readers’ Choice Winner for best vegetarian restaurant without thinking that I liked it better when it used to cater to meat eaters like me (am I alone?)– what I would do right now for a rice noodle salad bowl with satay chicken.  Congratulations to Andy Nguyen’s just the same.

Of course the first category I looked at was the readers’ choice award for best Filmmaker.  Here were the results:

  1. Jourdan McClure
  2. Ryan Todd
  3. Mike Carroll and Sarah Kreutz (tie)

Ryan and Mike are both fantastic filmmakers, but I wasn’t as familiar with Jourdan or Sarah (although I knew Jourdan won an award for the Sac Music Seen portion of the Sac Film and Music Festival this year). 

Thank you Internet.

An interview with Jourdan for Fringe magazine and one with Sarah at Indie Fest USA where she was publicizing her movie Elsa Letterseed.  Congrats to all the winners.
