Exclusive: CAA has signed Alex Fischer, Eleanor Wilson and Rachel Wolther for representation.
Fischer and Wilson wrote and directed Save Yourselves!, the sci-fi comedy that had its world premiere in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The pic, starring John Reynolds and Sunita Man as a couple who have unplugged from the world for a week at an isolated cabin, making them blissfully aware when aliens attack the earth, was acquired by Bleecker Street and will hit theaters this summer.
Fischer and Wolther, meanwhile, have written and will direct Nobody Nothing Nowhere, a sci-fi pic based on their Black List 2018 script that was selected for the Sundance Screenwriters Lab. The original logline: Ruth is one of the non-people: human-looking beings designed and trained for the sole purpose of filling in a realistic world for a bland guy named Dave, the only person to actually exist on Earth.

The trailer has been released for New York Times bestseller Allison Raskin's new scripted soap opera podcast, Gossip. Gossip centers on three unlikely female friends: Valerie (Indie Series Award winner Victoria Rowell), Mia (Amanda Perez) and Bethany (Allison Raskin).

Hopefully co-writer/co-director tandem Rachel Wolther (who produced micro indie gems See You Next Tuesday, Thou Wast Mild and Lovely, and Stinking Heaven) & Alex H. Fischer will consider keeping their excellent working title of Nobody Nothing Nowhere. The description for their lab project they workshopped at the 2018 January Screenwriters Lab and what would become their sophomore film (they first paired on Snowy Bing Bongs Across the North Star Combat Zone) sounds like a zany split universe. I got the chance to speak with the pair on their new project – here’s the logline: Just like everyone she knows, Ruth…...

Three years before they set Sundance abuzz with Swiss Army Man, the duo known as Daniels made their name with a much-watched video for "Turn Down for What," in which Sunita Mani (Glow, Mr. Robot) had something of a dance-battle with Daniel Kwan's puppet-animated erection. No stranger to unconventional dance routines, Mani was already part of a trio called the Cocoon Central Dance Team, friends of Daniels from back in college. Now the gents have exec-utive produced Ccdt's big-screen debut, Snowy Bing Bongs, in which directors Rachel Wolther and Alex H. Fischer adapt the New York troupe's stage show (full...

What is “Snowy Bing Bongs?” As with most projects involving “Swiss Army Man” co-directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert — aka “Daniels” — you kind of have to watch it. Originally performed as a stage play by the dance-comedy trio Cocoon Central Dance Team, the 40-minute film that’s “part psychotropic performance art spectacle, part absurdist sketch show” premieres at Brooklyn’s BAMcinemaFEST. Its path to that point was as unpredictable as the movie itself.

Cocoon Central founders Tallie Medel, Sunita Mani and Eleanore Pienta — aka the Bing Bongs — have been longtime collaborators with the Daniels, dating back to their days at Emerson College in Boston. That was before Kwan and Scheinert made names for themselves as the directors of visually-inventive music videos, which led to their surreal 2016 Sundance breakout.

If one wants to experience the best independent cinema the year has to offer this summer, one of your best bets is the well-curated line-up at Brooklyn’s BAMcinémaFest. They’ve now unveiled this year’s slate for the festival running from June 14-25, including some of of my favorite films of the year thus far (A Ghost Story, Golden Exits, Columbus, Marjorie Prime, and Landline) as well as highly-anticipated others (the SXSW hit Gemini and Stephen Cone‘s Princess Cyd come to mind).
“I’m incredibly proud of the program our team has put together,” says Gina Duncan, Associate Vice President, Cinema. “From the endearing comedy The Big Sick to the micro-budget Princess Cyd and Lemon, the audacious first feature from Janicza Bravo, the line-up truly reflects the breadth of American independent cinema today.

Ceff takes place in the heart of Paris in June. The first ever connection in Paris between French cinema and American cinema takes place during a glorious week of screenings and special events dedicated entirely to the public.
The opportunity to bring together a host of filmmakers, producers, distributors, journalists, academics, partners, around a big party every night at the top of Publicis where “Le Drugstore” made such a big splash during the 70s is also an event which reinvigorates what has become a touristic and consumer oriented Champs Elysees. Distinguished guests, film teams, young directors add up to a celebration of that most popular of all culture today, the movies.
The fourth edition of the Champs-Elysées Film Festival was presided by the actress Émilie Dequenne and actor Jeremy Irons, and it had more than 22, 000 attendees, accompanied all week by bright sunshine.
3 Audience Prizes were given during the closing ceremony which took place on Tuesday night at the Publicis Cinema.
• The Audience Prize for an Independent American Feature Lenght Film, given by Jeremy Irons, was awarded to the film "The Road Within" by Gren Wells, the story of a young man with Tourette’s Syndrome who embarks on a road trip. Its international sales agent is Annapurna and its U.S. distributor is WellGo.
• The Audience Prize for a French Short Film given by Émilie Dequenne and Céline Nallet, Gerenal Director of HD1 channel, was awarded to "J’aurais pas dû mettre mes Clarks" by Marie Caldera. The film will be screened on HD1.
• The Audience Prize for an American Short Film given by actress Zoë Felix and Éric Legendre from Variety was awarded to "Scheherazade" by Mehrnoush Aliaghaei.
The Student Jury Prize, given by Adrien Fallu, the marketing and communication director of TCM , the object of which is to present classics of the cinema to young adults, was given to "Shoot the Moon," by Alan Parker, presented in the section "TCM Cinéma Essentials."
The Festival was created by the Producer, Distributor and Exhibitor Sophie Dulac. More than 100 films were screened during the festival showcasing the diversity of French and American cinema in six cinemas on the most prestigious avenue in the world: The Balzac, the Gaumont Champs-Élysées, the Lincoln, the Publicis cinema, Ugc George V and MK2 Grand Palais.
Prestigious Guests This Year at the Festival:
• William Friedkin met with the public for an amazing Q&A at the end of the screening of the restored director’s cut version of "Sorcerer."
• Alan Parker, who confirmed his decision not to shoot anymore, gave a remarkable masterclass on the cult movies that have made him famous from "Fame" to "Bugsy Malone" and "Midgnight Express."
• Josh and Benny Safdie, emblematic directors of today’s New York cinema, introduced their shorts and feature movies, and premiered their new film "Heaven Knows What."
• Euzhan Palcy, director of "Sugar Cane Alley" and "A Dry White Season" gave a brilliant masterclass, sharing how she became the voice of Black People at a time when nobody wanted to hear.
• Vilmos Zsigmond, Oscar-winning director of photography who has worked with the greatest directors from Spielberg and Cimino to Brian de Palma, introduced the restored version of "The Rose" by Mark Rydell,
• Jeremy Irons, passionate cinephile who was present the screenings all week and who also gave a masterclass.
Professional Program in Constant Progression
• More than 50 distributors, producers, and international sales agents came from all over the world to discover six independent American films, works in progress, of which "Diverge" by James Morrisson, was awarded great help with several post-production services necessary to complete the film.
• The growing success of the second edition of the Paris Coproduction Village, organized in collaboration with Les Arcs European Film Festival took place from 10th to 12th June with a Brazilian focus and delighted the professionals who came from many different countries.
During the festival, numerous American directors in competition came from the U.S. to debate with audiences after the screenings: Hannah Fidell for "6 years," Onur Tukel for "Applesauce," Matthew Heineman for "Cartel Land," Andrew Renzi for "Franny," Sebastian Silva for "Nasty Baby," Gren Wells and his producer Brent Emmery for "The Road Within," Rachel Wolther producer of "Stinking Heaven" and Jenner Furst, producer of "Welcome to Leith," that's without mentioning all the French and American shorts films, premieres, etc…
