In the last few months, three very different pitches came across the FBC Films radar looking for project funding – a horror movie, a dramatic film, a dramatic play. We’re participating in the play and will be sharing more about that in the next few months as we help with the rest of the project

Zombies In Kindergarten, Korea, and Everyday Life: Kevin Wayne Williams, Train to Busan, The Returned and The Rezort
May 2, 2017 – Posted in: Film ReviewMy favorite zombie entertainment choices are still the George Romero classics, 28 Days Later more recently, and The Walking Dead for the small screen. But recently, I’ve come across additional fun entries in the zombie genre: Kevin Wayne Williams is an engineer and author of Everything I Know About Zombies I Learned In Kindergarten. The
Nature As Nemesis In The Movies: Life, Kong: Skull Island, The Bay, Nature’s Grave, And Dark Harbor
April 4, 2017 – Posted in: Film ReviewMy recent movie queue has filled up with films that feature nature as a key character in furthering the plot: The nature in Life is a speck of Mars dust gone amok – maybe it’s on a separate planet for a reason???

Memorable Minorities Episode 2 Is Up – Game of Thrones
May 8, 2014 – Posted in: Memorable MinoritiesBruce Faulk rewrote a scene from Game of Thrones where a Colorized version of Tywin and Jaime Lannister work to resurrect Khal because he was the only non-white major character.

In The Theaters: Breathe In and Veronica Mars
April 6, 2014 – Posted in: Film ReviewI had read a good review of Breathe In, so was excited to see it come up on the NY Film Society calendar. Oh well. The acting is good, even if the plot unfolds like a story my 12-year old would make up. Cue the excitable, tween voice: …and then an exchange student comes for
On My Netflix: Leave, A Late Quartet, and The Dinosaur Project
March 26, 2014 – Posted in: Film ReviewOn my Netflix viewing schedule were three films on death: Leave with Bryan Cranston and Ron Livingston is good marketing and good editing. It’s a thriller about a guy with recurring nightmares who meets a drifter who may be his presumed-dead brother. I can’t really say more than that without spoiling it. I say good
On My Watchlist: Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain and NY WIFT Screening Series
March 19, 2014 – Posted in: Film ReviewOn my watchlist this week were two very different live events: comedy, documentary and The Battle Below screens at The Anthology Film Archives. Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain wasn’t the laugh-out-loud set I expect from Hart, one of my favorite comics. I appreciated his opening, as he took viewers around the world to see the

March 12, 2014 – Posted in: Film ReviewIn the theater, courtesy of the NY Film Society, I checked out Enemy and Non-Stop: Enemy with Jake Gyllenhaal is about a nondescript professor whose life irrevocably changes when he sees his exact lookalike in a bit part in a film and tracks him down to confront him. I am a creature feature fan, and
