How to Direct a Short Film
Directing is more than just yelling "action!" or "cut!" There are some small yet important aspects of being a director that are usually overlooked and this can spell disaster for your film set if you make this mistake.
Gavin TovarPublished 7 years ago in GeeksDamien Chazelle and Barry Jenkins On That #Oscars Moment
For two relatively new Hollywood directors, the 2017 Oscars couldn't have been any more of a nail biter. It took directors Damien Chazelle - a director who saw two out of three of his movies make it all the way to the Oscars - and Barry Jenkins, who has only two films under his belt, one of them being the critical darling and eventual Best Picture Oscar winner Moonlight - until the morning after the Oscars to process that incredible ending.

Anyone watching the Oscars last night had to feel deeply sorry for actors Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. In what is sure to become one of the biggest Oscar fiascos in history, the wrong Best Picture winner was announced at the 89th Academy Awards ceremony on February 26. The legendary Beatty and Dunaway somehow acquired the "Actress in a Leading Role" envelope which Best Actress Emma Stone (La La Land) says she'd been hanging onto throughout their presentation.

Marvel's rise in the film and television scene has been staggering, with movie after movie and tv-show after tv-show hitting it big. It is noticeable how critically acclaimed their tv-exploits have been, with the Netflix shows “Daredevil”, “Jessica Jones” and “Luke Cage” being among the most watched series on the service. And they've shown no signs of stopping, with the upcoming “Iron Fist” and “Defenders” shows generating copious amounts of buzz, as well as the recent announcement of the “Cloak and Dagger” and “Runaways” shows having been greenlit.

Geeks were talking like Jedis log before George Lucas thought of Star Wars Yoda speak. Stereotypes aside, geeks often are people who have a hard time fitting in to any one particular category. Not surprisingly they can become obsessed with multiple intellectual interests. Anti social only to the degree that many other people don't seem particularly interesting.

Patricia SarkarPublished 7 years ago in GeeksBest Movie Musical Adaptations
I've argued many times that movie musicals stand the test of time, and also are the greatest form of escapism. Where else would upwards of 100 people know every choreographed move to a dance sequence (outside of the theater, of course)? And it's hard not to sing along to the happy tunes that uplift characters, and gape at the talents of Gene Kelly, Barbra Streisand, and Robert Preston.
