Can artificial intelligence and tech industry project management techniques help the film and TV industry to create more hits?
Tech entrepreneur Simon David Miller thinks so, and is in the process of raising between £1 million-£3 million ($1.3 million-$3.91 million) for his production company New Forest Film Co. to recruit a team, and to develop technology to help it spearhead a new way of working in the industry, namely the Agile method.
Used by companies such as Facebook, Apple, Netflix and Google, Agile is a management process for creating a new project by breaking it up into several stages and testing and improving it at each stage.
Miller says that the Agile methodology as used by New Forest, which is backed by former Emi chief Elio Leoni Sceti, allows filmmakers to collaboratively test and improve their work at every level of production, reducing commercial risk as well as delivering increased diversity of stories and talent.

A Db is found buried in the sand, another is found stacked inside a washer and a third is found impaled on a spike sculpture. Calleigh (Emily Procter) is pretty vexed and questions what type of person puts a girl out in the laundry. Tripp (Rex Linn) blames it on Spring Break. Calleigh given the limelight now, away from Horatio (David Caruso) when she has the last line before the credits, "There are going to be consequences." Ryan (Jonathan Togo) believes the sand constricted the Db's lungs, suffocating him. Since when did Ryan start second guessing before the evidence is in (my fave phrase). He's not an expert on determining Cod. Jesse (Eddie Cibrian) thinks he most likely drowned as the tide was high. Me Tom (Christian Clemenson) will enlighten them. There was probably more than one killer. Ryan is adament that it's a prank gone wrong and the tide ended it.

Screenplay, Britain's most northerly film festival, is a world away from the glitz and hype of Cannes
A couple of years ago, as I was dragging my sorry bones around another overcrowded, overheated, overhyped film festival in the broiling south of France, somebody asked me "How come you always look so miserable in Cannes?" I thought about this for a while before answering, "All things considered, I'd rather be in Shetland."
This was no idle threat. For the past four years, my partner Linda Ruth Williams and I have been proudly co-curating Shetland Arts' annual ScreenPlay festival, a celebration of everything we love about cinema that's about as far away from the exclusive ghastliness of the Croisette as it's possible to get in terms of both climate and culture. Last year we held a screening in a bus shelter in Unst, the most northerly in the UK (if you don't get off here,...

Q: There are so many songs on each episode of Glee! How in the world do they record it all? And how do they pick the songs? – Velma, New Orleans, La
A: It’s a hell of a lot of work! For the first thirteen episodes, they recorded well over 60 songs.
“On the first episodes, we were preparing weeks in advance,” says Kevin McHale, who plays Artie (the guy in the wheelchair). “But as we got down to doing episodes twelve and thirteen, we’d record it Monday, rehearse on Tuesday, and shoot it on Wednesday. It just got crazy. We’re recording for an episode before while shooting the current episode and rehearsing another episode. It can be anywhere from ten to 16 hours on the set.”
