October 2011
October 7: Real Steel is the story about a gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future where the sport of boxing has gone high-tech, “Real Steel” stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small- time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback. Disney/DreamWorks. Watch movie trailer of Real Steel.

2011 Heartland Film Festival Winners. More than 60 sponsors contributed to the success and growth of the 20th annual Heartland Film Festival. The Festival kicked off last night with it’s opening film, The Way. The Festival’s sponsors are vital in allowing Heartland to continue to celebrate and honor beautifully made films that emphasize the best of the human spirit and to recognize the filmmakers that made them. Read more about Heartland Film Festival 2011 Winners.
Interview with Filmmaker Cole Mueller. Making his own independent films is what he has set out to do and what he loves doing. It’s not always easy – in fact, it’s difficult – but determination and the satisfaction of knowing he’s doing it his way make his career path a rewarding one so far. That career path includes his recently completed first independent, feature-length film. It’s called Green Guys.
26th Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival
At the 26th annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival, there were 30 world premieres and 33 US premieres among the 170 films that screened during the 10-day fest. Some filmmakers were there to support their films, and meeting the filmmakers is always a highlight of the SBIFF festival. Continue reading about the 2011 SBIFF.
 Marvelous Monstrosity, Pleasing Pearl: Meet Filmmaker Alyssa Price
The Monstrosity, which premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, is about a 12-year-old girl named Milly as she embarks on that most treacherous of passages – her first day of middle school. Problem is a big zit decides to make that day twice as nice. Continue reading the interview with Alyssa Price.
World War II in Wisconsin: Fort McCoy
The film Fort McCoy is based on actual people and their wartime experiences at the real Fort McCoy, a World War II POW camp on American soil for German soldiers. Until this enlightening movie, I did not know Nazi prisoners were shipped to the U.S. for confinement. You learn something new every day.
Interviewing Filmmakers/Actors at the 2011 SBIFF
Part 1 Will Eubank, writer-director; Gunner Wright, actor; Ed Harris, actor; Christopher Lloyd, actor and festival juror and William Baldwin, actor and festival juror
Part II Russ Spencer, filmmaker, The Book of Santa Barbara; Matt Kleiner, filmmaker, Way of the Ocean: Mike Wallis, filmmaker, Cohen Holloway, actor, Inge Rademeyer, actor/filmmaker, Good for Nothing
 Covered in an outlaw’s grime of gunpowder and trail dust, The Man grunted quite matter-of-factly: “My dick’s broke.” That, my friends, quite amusingly and quite seriously sums up the spirit, theme, plot, and overall greatness of Good For Nothing. And we can thank writer-director Mike Wallis, producer-actress Inge Rademeyer, and actor Cohen Holloway for, amazingly, shooting this gem on less than $60,000. Adding higher post-production costs makes it no less amazing.
SBIFF favorite Annette Bening receives the American Riviera Award
The Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) welcomed back three-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening by bestowing her with the American Riviera Award.
 Photo: Oscar nominee Annette Bening, answering questions on the red carpet, was honored with the American Riviera Award.
