"On Friday evening, I moderated a panel at the Denver Film Festival called DIY FIlmmaking in an Indie Apocalypse. I pitched the panel to the festival in the hopes that by talking to actual filmmakers who have recently made moderately successful films (mostly) independent of the system that the “sky is falling” fatalism insists is broken, we could start to expand this dialogue beyond doomcasting and push towards options and solutions. I’m not sure we repaired the ever-expanding crack in the firmament in one night, but certainly the six filmmakers who took the stage offered a new perspective on the supposed crisis. You can listen to a recording of the full panel here, but if you don’t have 73 minutes to spare, after the jump I’ve isolated what I think were five major themes of the evening. Here’s more info on the filmmakers and their films: David Pomes, director of Cook County. Jason Goodman, director and co-star of The Eternal City. < "

"I’m finally heading back to New York tomorrow after almost 5 weeks away, and a number of can’t-miss film events are awaiting me. A sample: Carlos Reygadas’ Silent Light is finally, finally coming back to New York, a year after it screened at NYFF 2007, as part of a retrospective dedicated to the Mexican filmmaker at MoMA. Manohla Dargis raves. Natural Causes, the relationship drama co-directed by sometime SpoutBlog contributor Michael Lerman (and featuring yours truly in a teeny-tiny cameo), has a one-night-only NYC preview on Monday night at the IFC Center. You can buy tickets here, and read our SXSW coverage of the film here and here. IFP is launching a new series of screenings called First Weekend, i "

"Natural Causes is a personal movie about that couple who everyone knows shouldn’t be together. Everyone except the couple, that is. Michael Lerman, Alex Cannon and Paul Cannon did what, I think, young filmmakers should do more of–have your idea, get some actors and shoot it before you have time to think about it. That way you learn something fast. We talk about the creative fertility in breaking up and the invention of the “Awesome Cam.” SXSW 2008: Lerman, Cannon, Cannon interview SXSW news, reviews, interviews and discussions Originally posted on:SpoutBlog "
