"Every time I see Lola, I'm more convinced..." "Convinced of what...?" Lionsgate has debuted the official trailer for an indie film titled Angel of Mine, the second feature film made by Australian filmmaker Kim Farrant. Described as an "intense thriller", the film stars Noomi Rapace as a grieving mother struggling to cope with the loss of her infant daughter. Her fraught emotional state puts her on edge, and she begins to believe the daughter of a neighbor is actually her own. This also stars Yvonne Strahovski, Luke Evans, Richard Roxburgh, Finn Little, Rob Collins, Rachel Gordon, Tracy Mann, and Emily Gruhl, with Annika Whiteley. This looks mega creepy and extra terrifying, what a twist on a story of grief. Goodness. Here's the official trailer for Kim Farrant's Angel of Mine, direct from Lionsgate's YouTube: In this intense thriller, a woman (Noomi Rapace) grieving over the death of her daughter...

Republicans weren't the only ones who tuned into Thursday night's Gop debate. Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was also watching, and was expressing her exasperation like many of her fellow Democrats: With memes on social media (perhaps a ploy to capture the elusive, Gif-loving, millennial vote?) The first was a double Gif with Gop candidates Marco Rubio, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz on top, with a subtitle reading [unintelligible yelling] below it. Underneath that Gif was a sleepy-looking Hillary at the November 2015 Benghazi hearings. (They did go on for 11 hours.) #GOPdebate pic.twitter.com/SGW200luN8— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) March 4, 2016 Video: Donald Trump,...

Rachel Gordon first posted on this blog about tapping into the educational market, and what we need to do to be in a position to benefit from the opportunity before us. Today, Rachel continues with an update on how that market, like everything else, has evolved during this Age Of Digital Disruption. Like the rest of the media consumption world, educational uses for films no longer solely occur by watching DVDs. Though non-theatrical forums are still mostly reliant on physical copies to screen, there is a growing trend of streaming media for classes. This is done in multiple ways: using…...

Now as much as we all hope to make a living by making films, I don't think that is why most filmmakers enter the field. And as thrilling as self expression is, I often hear filmmakers cite another reason for the creative spark: they want to facilitate change. Today, Rachel provides examples of how the process of preparing for the Educational Market can also precisely do that higher goal of moving us towards a better world. Adding to the idea of using…...

I began working with non-theatrical distribution at the National Film Board of Canada over 10 years ago. As a filmmaker, the experience of finding new markets for films that were under…...
