It’s been a couple months since the last edition of What’s Up Doc? placed Michael Moore’s surprise world premiere of Where To Invade Next at the top of this list and in the meantime much shuffling has taken place and much time has been spent on various new endeavors (namely my Buffalo-based film series, Cultivate Cinema Circle). Finally taking its rightful place at the top, D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hagedus’ Unlocking the Cage is in the midst of being scored by composer James Lavino, according to Lavino’s own personal site. Though the project has been taking shape at its own leisurely pace, I’d expect to see the film making its festival debut in early 2016.

The fall festival rush is upon us. Locarno is currently ramping up. Venice has released their line-up and Thom Powers and the Toronto International Film Festival team have dropped a bomb with a previously unannounced new feature from powerhouse docu-provocateur Michael Moore. It is truly a miracle that the production of a film such as Moore’s upcoming Where To Invade Next (see still above) managed to go completely undetected by the filmmaking community until it was literally announced to world premiere at one of the largest film festivals in the world. Programmed as a one of the key films in the Special Presentations section at Tiff, the film sees Moore telling “the Pentagon to ‘stand down’ — he will do the invading for America from now on.” Also announced to premiere at Tiff was Avi Lewis’ This Changes Everything, which has slowly been rising up this list, as well as...

It’s been a surprisingly interesting month of moving and shaking in terms of doc development. Just a month after making his first public funding pitch at Toronto’s Hot Docs Forum, legendary doc filmmaker Frederick Wiseman took to Kickstarter to help cover the remaining expenses for his 40th feature film In Jackson Heights (see the film’s first trailer below). Unrelentingly rigorous in his determination to capture the American institutional landscape on film, his latest continues down this thematic rabbit hole, taking on the immensely diverse New York City neighborhood of Jackson Heights as his latest subject. According to the Kickstarter page, Wiseman is currently editing the 120 hours of rushes he shot with hopes of having the film ready for a fall festival premiere (my guess would be Tiff, where both National Gallery and At Berkeley made their North American debut), though he’s currently quite a ways away from his $75,000 goal.

Producer Elisabeth Holm attended the Ifp Narrative Lab with Keith Miller’s Welcome to Pine Hill (pictured). She filed this short report on her experience.
Ifp Narrative Lab Recap: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Releasing Your Film But Were Afraid To Ask
The emotional highs and lows endured over 45 hours of last week’s Ifp Narrative Lab are only paralleled by the peaks and valleys of middle-school dodgeball. As I trust any filmmaker who’s been lucky enough to gain the mentorship will say, the Ifp Labs are highly intense, immersive, illuminating, engaging, challenging, rewarding, and exhausting. I am currently producing Keith Miller’s feature film Welcome To Pine Hill. The project is directed, shot, and edited by heroic friends and peers with varying expertise and infinite passion, but all of us have a lot to learn when it comes to releasing a film we want people other...

Ioncinema.com's inaugural American New Wave 25 (Class of 2010) was a blast to unveil and we'd like to thank those who took a timeout from their busy schedules to provide us with, not only extra info relating to their filmography, but for allowing us to use their pics as well (e.g. Reed Moreno on the set of Elgin James' much anticipated Little Birds starring Juno Temple). I'm extremely enthusiastic for the future of American independent film and obviously Park City, Tisch School of the Arts at Nyu, SXSW, paired with the film scenes in Los Angeles, Austin and NYC continue to play a vital role in the success and renewal of the indie scene. I'm happy to report that breeding grounds for creativity and promising new voices are alive and well in other parts of the country: from Indianapolis to Minnesota and it extends past the borders into far away places such as Greece.
