Plot: The Power is our world, but for one twist of nature. Suddenly, and without warning, teenage girls develop the power to electrocute people at will. The series features a cast of remarkable characters from London to Seattle, Nigeria to Eastern Europe, as the Power evolves from a tingle in teenagers’ collarbones to a complete reversal of the power balance of the world.
Review: The Power is a series I fully expect will rankle a vocal minority online who will complain about this being a series that castrates masculinity and promotes extreme points of view. Those people clearly need to watch this series for that very reason. The Power is a cautionary tale that has a global scale. Looking at the impact of a shift in the male-female dynamic offers a unique look at how we treat gender as a society and how it differs across the planet. Abiding by...

‘American Horror Story’ fails to punch above its weight with a deep, raw idea that’s unfortunately stuck in a shallow episode and grave.
“For a minute. For a thousand years. Forever.”
Horror is full of fascinating figures who make enthralling arguments for why the dead are more valuable than the living and the persecution that frequently follows this philosophy. Titles like Re-Animator, Deadgirl, The Autopsy of Jane Done, and so many others uniquely examine life, death, and the blurred lines in between the two. American Horror Stories’ “Necro” attempts to also bring grief and romance into the equation with this failed experiment that falls short in some seriously tone deaf ways, but still manages to scratch the surface of some compelling ideas.
“Necro” focuses on Sam, a passionate mortician who finds herself at a crossroads in life. Sam has to shoulder most of this episode and Madison Iseman rises...

While the pilot of the Amazon series “I Love Dick,” created by Jill Soloway and Sarah Gubbins, has been available to screen since last summer, the streaming service isn’t the only way to watch the show — at least, if you happened to be in Los Angeles recently for a full-day binge of the upcoming series.

“I Love Dick,” based on the book by Chris Kraus, is an intense examination of what it means to be both a woman and a creator, seen through the lens of a female filmmaker named Chris (played by Kathryn Hahn) as she falls under the thrall of a stoic artist named Dick (Kevin Bacon). How this disrupts her marriage and her work is only one strand of the series, which features an eclectic ensemble...

In an age of constant technological innovation, the new film “Operator” asks the question: What happens if you could replace your significant other with an unflawed double? Logan Kiben’s debut film stars Martin Starr (“Freaks and Geeks”) as Joe, an anxious programmer who enlists the help of Emily (Mae Whitman), his empathetic wife, when given the task to create the perfect call center program, but their relationship soon deteriorates when he replaces her with an ideal replica. Watch an exclusive clip from the film below.

"I enjoy listening to you." The Orchard has unveiled a trailer for a quirky romance titled Operator, about a relationship that goes awry when the programmer creates a digital version of his wife's voice. The indie film stars Martin Starr (from "Silicon Valley" and "Party Down") and Mae Whitman (seen in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and The Perks of Being a Wallflower), along with Nat Faxon, Cameron Esposito, Retta, Christine Lahti and Kate Cobb. I hate to say it, but this almost seems like a low-rent TV-movie version of Spike Jonze's brilliant Her, playing on the technology angle and the romance. Maybe there's something to it, but it didn't really grab my attention aside from Whitman's performance (she's a voice actor in real life, too). Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Logan Kibens' Operator, in high def from Apple: An anxious programmer enlists the help of his...

Evoking comparisons to Spike Jonze’s Her, in which Joaquin Phoenix fell head over heels for an artificial intelligence voiced by Scarlett Johansson, the first trailer for indie melodrama Operator has dropped.
Not to be confused with last year’s cop thriller of the same name, Logan Kibens’ feature is a much more intimate affair – more intimate than even Her because unlike Jonze’s near-future hit, this is a movie that is much more human in nature. At a loss of how to replace the digital voice used in his call center program, Martin Starr’s anxious programmer turns to his nearest and dearest (Mae Whitman) to lend her vocal chords as the new Operator. What starts off as a runaway success soon warps into an introspective drama, with Starr’s lead becoming dangerously attached to the perfectly calibrated version of his partner, thereby putting a massive strain on their real relationship.

‘Operator’ Trailer: Mae Whitman Gives Voice to a Technological Wonder in Quirky Festival Hit — Watch
Mae Whitman has been as active in the voiceover world as she has on television and in film. In “Operator,” she taps into both talents: The “Parenthood,” “Arrested Development” and “The Duff” actress plays a woman hired to be the voice of a medical app. Watch the film’s trailer below.

The setup is a little reminiscent of “Her”: Martin Starr plays Whitman’s husband, a programmer whose latest project needs a new, friendlier voice to assuage users’ concerns about their medical woes. Her dulcet tones prove to be the only suitable medicine, but the intersection of the married couple’s personal and professional lives brings symptoms of its own. Nat Faxon, Cameron Esposito, Retta and Christine Lahti co-star.

In Spike Jonze‘s “Her,” Joaquin Phoenix found himself falling for the artificial intelligence (voiced by Scarlett Johansson) that came packaged with his new Siri-esque software. The upcoming indie “Operator” works on a similar premise, but with one very human twist.
Co-written and directed by Logan Kibens, and starring Mae Whitman and Martin Starr, the film follows a programmer who discovers his wife is the perfect voice for call center software.

This year, Michael Moore will use his Traverse City Film Festival to throw down the gauntlet for women filmmakers. The official selection — not the sidebar, not a spotlight — is comprised of 32 films, and every one is directed by a woman.
“Every film in our Official Selection (Us), fiction and nonfiction, is directed or co-directed by a woman,” Moore told IndieWire in an email. “And they’re all incredible movies. As an expression of tokenism usually reserved for women, I am bringing five films by American men in a sidebar called, ‘Men Make Movies —The Struggle Continues.'” There are other movies in the lineup directed by men, of course, whether foreign or classic.
Compiling the list took some digging, as Moore, admits in his Traverse City Film Festival welcome letter. But the results are impressive, ranging from Sundance hits (Heidi Ewing & Rachel Grady’s documentary “Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You,...

Passionately trying to recognize and understand the powerful emotions and motivations behind a person’s actions can be a complex and intriguing journey. That ardent exploration of what drives a person to behave the way they do is the grippingly realistic motivating factor in the new short thriller, ‘Harmony.’ Director Logan Kibens’ drama, which is set to premiere at the 10th Annual HollyShorts Film Festival next month, features actress and executive producer Dawn Davis as an intuitive woman who puts faith in her cunning instincts to figure out what drives one of her neighbor’s aggressions. ‘Harmony’ follows Elle (Davis), a self-described clairvoyant Hospice nurse who reveals her ability to sense events [ Read More ]

Yesterday, the Sundance Institute announced that this year's Alfred P Sloan Feature Film Prize goes to Jake Schreier's Robot & Frank and Musa Syeed's Valley of Saints; the filmmakers will split the $20K that comes with it. An Alfred P Sloan Commissioning Grant is awarded to Katy Scoggin for Flood and a Lab Fellowship goes to Logan Kibens and Sharon Greene for Operator.
The whole batch of prizes is part of the Sundance Institute Science-in-Film Initiative, which "supports the development and exhibition of new independent film projects that explore science and technology themes or that depict scientists, engineers and mathematicians in engaging and innovative ways," so the jury's explained that it's selected Robot & Frank for its "humane and prescient portrait of the relationship between an aging father and his non-human caregiver, and for raising profound questions about the role of technology in our collective future" and Valley of Saints for its "brave,...
