Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: how true is the story? — Auralcrave

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino’s ninth film released in the summer of 2019, had passed on everyone’s lips in the months prior to the release not only for the amazing cast put together, but above all because it seemed to be a film based on the murders that Charles Manson’s “family” carried […]

1st Scene Festival Testimonial – May 16 2020

 

Screenwriter Cecilia Michelangeli (The Ambiguous Couch Affair)

This was actually the first festival I’ve sent this specific screenplay. In fact it’s difficult to find festivals that take into consideration unfinished screenplay (and that are not excessively expensive). The feedback that I’ve received was very good, with some curious suggestions. However, I’m aware that it’s impossible to judge or comment on a first scene without knowing anything about the rest of the story, especially without being able to talk about certain choices and nuances.

Watch the Screenplay Reading: 

Randall and Evelyn run a struggling furniture store in a quiet community. The peace is disturbed when a nervous would-be armed robber, Parker Ray, enters the store demanding money.

CAST LIST:

Narrator: Laura Kyswaty
Randall: Geoff Mays
Evelyn: Kiran Friesen

Film analysis: Man With A Movie Camera (1929) and The Birth of A Nation (1915) — FLORENCE ROSINI | WRITER | PRODUCER |

I noticed that Russian filmmaker Dziga Vertov, in his 1929 movie called Man with a Movie Camera (MWAMC), borrowed several concepts from D.W. Griffith. First, the use of close-ups. Vertov would shoot establishing shots of the place or of his subjects, then sometimes, he shifts closer to the subject by doing a medium/extreme close-up. Both […]

Film Analysis: People Will Talk (1951) | Mankiewicz’s Critique of Groupthink & McCarthyism — ATMA & Funomena

While People Will Talk, starring Cary Grant and Jeanne Crain, was billed under the romantic comedy genre with tinges of domestic drama surrounding pregnancy out of wedlock, director Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s production was evidently driven by such dense additional narrative circumstances that at times it would seem decidedly unfitting. While the two central plot threads […]
