TIFF starts in 2 days but the deals are already closing. Grindstone & Roadside Attractions landed the North American distribution rights to Dito Montiel's RIFF RAFF. It's exciting to see independent films get this type of traction. Feels like one of the greatest times ever to be making indie films....

That's very cool. Crazy how things can take off like this! As I was reading it, I did think of Blair Witch Project - sounds like he's on his way to topping that phenomenon.
This is so neat! And sooooo creepy looking, which honestly makes me even more interested to see it.
Fantastic! Sometimes doing stuff like this, whether it is successful or not, is the best film and film industry school you can have!
Looks like its coming together. Are you ready for more Ted Lasso? https://deadline.com/2024/08/ted-lasso-season-4-deal-near-brett-goldstei......

I haven’t see one episode.
I dont know how I feel about this actually. I loved the show. Truly. But it ended so beautifully that I wouldn't want this to undermine that. That being said, I know I would watch it. I wouldn't be able to stop myself.
Yea, Ashley, didn't expect this but I will definitely take the chance and watch it! :). Thanks for the good news Sam Sokolow - a fun show to look forward to seeing....

Saw that this morning, Tom Lapke . Would be interesting to see how it all turns out.
Interesting....
Agreed, Leonardo Ramirez!
I've worked with directors who like to work with the same actors on multiple shows so that wouldn't be a good argument in my opinion. There's so many medical and detective and crime shows that sometim...

Bronfman steps aside and David Ellison will get what he aimed for - Paramount. David Ellison broke onto the scene co-starring in, and financing, Tony Bill's WWI aerial epic FLYBOYS. He is a supporter of content and artists. I hope that this means Paramount's future as a content purveyor and financie...

Ellison has established a strong and intelligent track record of investments in film and television. Will be interesting to see if he can reinvigorate Paramount Studios.
Oh how the turns table... Lol

My concern is as follows...

Ricardo there is a number of Christian arts trusts that may be a possible funding oportunity for you.For example The Passion Trust,The Christian Arts Trust etc etc.I'd start looking into as many of these as I could to start.Best of luck.
Thank you so much Graig! This information is truly helpful. God bless you.
Father if you'd like to message me I've got a couple of ideas that might be useful to you.
Great idea! Thanks! I'll be sending some thoughts on this privately.
The 1987 film was pretty fabulous, especially Esai Morales and Howard Huntsberry bringing it as Jackie Wilson. Will be interesting to see how they make it for today's audience. Are there any other musician biopics that you'd like to see remade? https://variety.com/2024/film/news/la-bamba-remake-deve...
