In a series of posts published on Wednesday, which has since gone viral, Cheryl Love recalls how one day, the FBI raided the home she shared with her husband, Bobby Love, and arrested him. He opened up about his criminal past, confessing to her that his real name was Walter Miller. "Holy nuts," Garner commented. Bobby told his wife that he was wanted for escaping from a North Carolina prison,...

Years before Brandon Stanton started a web sensation with his lovable Humans of New York blog, a radio journalist called Clay Pigeon was assembling his own portrait of the city, conducting interviews with strangers in New York about nothing in particular. Following this endearingly open man through the month of October 2008, Rachel Shuman's documentary finds a city excitedly looking forward to one kind of change even as it reels from others.
Pigeon, who grew up in an Iowa town of just 3,000 people, found his way through music and DJ work to Wfmu, the legendary freeform-radio station located across...

Two weeks after Facebook launched a premium video offering called Watch, it announced an upcoming series that could bring in substantial viewership. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the social media giant will host an adaptation of Humans of New York, the blog run by urban fly-on-the-wall Brandon Stanton.
On his blog, Stanton shares his interviews with an eclectic mix of New Yorkers, ranging from pediatric cancer patients to Syrian refugees. Through his discussions with these people, Stanton reveals their personal and often unexpected life stories. His Facebook series will tell more of these tales across 12 half-hour episodes. Julie Goldman, who recently shared a different kind of New York saga in her zany documentary Weiner, will produce the Humans of New York adaptation.
A trailer for the series shows the easygoing, chatty tone it will employ as it moves into a new medium:

“Where is the hope?”
That was the question was posed last week at one of the world’s most prominent launch pads for nonfiction films in development — Hot Docs Pitch Forum — and it reflected the general mood in the room.
As 20 filmmaking teams pitched their projects to dozens of top decision-makers, funders, and broadcasters sitting around the long wooden table in the Gothic-designed Hart House at the University of Toronto, there was a particular excitement for new documentaries that were “fresh,” “optimistic” and “fun”—to use some of the words spoken publically over the two-day pitch-a-thon.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, you could see those same powerbrokers struggling over what to do with still essential, but tough issue-driven films having to do with post-revolutionary countries in the Middle East or the global refugee crisis.

2017-05-02T09:03:02-07:00Ryan Reynolds Gushes Over Blake Lively
Ryan Reynolds really loves Blake Lively. How much you ask? Well, enough to wax poetic about her virtues during the Met Gala on Sunday night, when he could have easily spent the extra three minutes gawking at Rihanna’s dress.
The couple was stopped for a photo by Brandon Stanton, the photographer behind Humans of New York, a wildly popular photo series that collects portraits and interviews of New Yorkers around the city.
Stanton typically elicits powerful and revealing statements from his subjects, whether they be a former president of the United States or the pharmacist at your local Cvs.
Reynolds took the opportunity to praise his wife and the mother of his two children for living her live with a deep compassion for humankind, which he says has changed him for the better.
“She always responds with empathy.
