Don’t women already have enough to think about in their lives?

Based off the short film “Piece A’ Cake,” “Audrey is a funny female-drive comedy that takes us in real-time over an hour and half of a young woman’s day as she waits and waits and waits in a restaurant for a man to arrive for their critical third date.

"The finest Western you'll see this year is set in aristocratic 16th-century France, in the heat of Counter-Reformation," declares Nick Pinkerton. Segueing into his interview with Bertrand Tavernier, Aaron Hillis, also in the Voice, sums up the gist of The Princess of Montpensier: "Adapted from Madame de la Fayette's classic novel, the film concerns a nubile, wealthy heiress (Mélanie Thierry) who loves a rugged hothead from the wrong clan (Gaspard Ulliel), but is forced by her father to marry another prince (Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet), leaving her to dwell on the too-modern desire for free will — defiantly bucking against the rigid traditions of her breed." Back to Pinkerton: "The setting always serves the performers rather than vice versa — though the film is also greatly enhanced by the costuming, the rugged French countryside photographed in outdoor-adventure CinemaScope, and Philippe Sarde's baroque-tribal score, its martial and romantic poles matching a tale of...

To give credit where it’s due, Footprints makes a game attempt at creating a love letter to a place that may be inherently unlovable: Hollywood Boulevard, in all its faded glory and present-day Hooters/Hard Rock Cafe tackiness. The film opens in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, where amnesiac protagonist Sybil Temtchine wakes up sprawled across celebrity hand- and shoeprints, and it rarely strays from the famous street. Over the course of a day, Temtchine wanders through old landmarks, tourist traps, and shameless monologues on nostalgic showbiz hokum, searching for clues to her identity. Footprints is the sort ...

Director: Steven Peros Writer: Steven Peros Starring: Sybil Temtchine, H.M. Wynant, Pippa Scott People often escape to Hollywood to start their lives anew...and once upon a time a young woman (Sybil Temtchine) wearing a green dress takes that quest quite literally. The woman mysteriously awakens, sprawled across the famed footprints and handprints in front of the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. We never learn her name (she seems to have amnesia) and she rarely speaks, but we are given the opportunity to listen to her internal dialogue. A series of "quirky Hollywood types" try to "help" the dazed and confused woman, including a vagrant (Jeris Lee Poindexter) and a man wearing a bolo tie, Victor (H.M. Wynant). Is she Mira Sorvino? Is she Wonder Woman? Is she Daisy? Why is William Wyler's 1949 film The Heiress important to her? And who the hell is "fountain boy"? With Footprints,...

From award-winning writer Steven Peros, author of the play and screenplay for The Cat.s Meow (directed by Peter Bogdanovich) and twice-published Samuel French playwright, comes Footprints, a haunting, hopeful and unforgettable mystery. The film chronicles a young woman.s journey of discovery in one day, from sunrise to sunset.
