Digital production studio New Form, which is behind noted series like Miss 2059 and Mr. Student Body President, debuted three brand new series pilots at the 2017 Austin Film Festival over the weekend.
The first project, created by and starring former BuzzFeed staffer-turned-comedy vlogger Gaby Dunn, is titled Love Me Do. The dark comedy follows a young woman whose alcoholic father moves in with her fresh after a stint at rehab. Small Talk, created by screenwriter Becca Gleason, is about two exes who meet by chance after years. Finally, Press Start -- created by Dave Child and Evan Beamer -- is about a gamer at a dead-end job who discovers that his life is literally a video game.

“The Beatles were eight months away from releasing their first single, “Love Me Do,” when John Glenn rocketed into space on Feb. 20, 1962, to become the first American to orbit Earth.
The flight set Nasa on course to meet ever-more ambitious goals. Glenn’s three orbits in five hours was eclipsed on the next flight and each one afterward steadily pushed Americans further out from the cradle of Earth, ultimately leading to a series of landings on the moon from 1969 to 1972.
“The whole program shifted rapidly from, ‘Can we do this?’ to basic research,” Glenn told a packed press conference conducted among the displays and consoles that made up Cape Canaveral’s Mercury control center.” – Nasa

13 years ago today, we first got to see the delightful tale of a forgetful blue tang and a little clownfish far from home. Finding Nemo opened in theaters on May 30, 2003. After that opening, it went on to become the highest grossing G-rated film of all time, before Pixar’s own Toy Story 3 overpassed it in 2010. In 2008, the American Film Institute named Finding Nemo the 10th best animated film of all time — the one other Pixar movie on the list is Toy Story. Finding Nemo is the fifth feature released by the Emeryville, CA-based animation studio. Finding Dory, Pixar’s 17th feature, will open in theaters this June. Other notable May 30 happenings in pop culture history: • 1963: Lesley Gore sang “It’s My Party” on American Bandstand, just a few weeks after her own 17th birthday. • 1964: “Love Me Do,” The Beatles’ first single, hit No. 1 on the U.S.

Kids. Such as Sex, Lies, and Videotape or Reservoir Dogs before it, and such as Winter’s Bone, Blue Valentine and Fruitvale Station after it, Larry Clark & Harmony Korine’s seminal film is forever connected in “spirit” to the lieu where it received its secret midnight premiere screening in 1995. The Sundance Film Festival might be known as the birthplace of U.S indie filmmaking innovation, avant-gardism, a larger definition of the low budgeted film response to Hollywood in not only narrative but in the non-fiction form, but it is a festival made strong by its renewal and familiarity. That close acquaintanceness exists in Kids‘ starlets Rosario Dawson and Chloë Sevigny filmography/career path trajectory and connection to Park City (both have several indie films slated for ’14 – of which I’ve included in our predictions list) and it is that “familiarity” that is visibly noticeable in how I map out my annual predictions list.
