The art of voice acting Voice acting involves a very specialized set of skills. Timing, tone variation, and even breathing are details that stand out when America’s animated casting directors hire professional narrators, the kind of details that traditional actors touch on at stage school and then soon forget.

Alongside Chris is his wife, K.D. Chalk as Chance’s wife. However, she isn’t the only one, as the movie is an ensemble piece full of new and emerging acting talents. Those actors do a great job playing some truly unlikeable characters that berate and betray one another at every opportunity. The movie gives us ample time to despise almost all of them, as roughly the first half of the movie is spent ruminating at an awkward dinner party....

Certainly, we are privy to intimate moments of conversation between this young lad and lass. However, we don’t hear a moment of their dialogue. Instead, we simply are treated to various folk instruments as the visuals take us on a ride through our protagonist’s memory. From what I can tell, the filmmaker, Colin Hickey, is reviving a variant of silent film. The film is entirely aural and visual but for the lack of the human voice....

After splitting from the metal band Orion, singer Raymond D’Auria and drummer John Davies formed Mystique and then recruited Dave Dragos on guitar and Mark Arbour on bass. Then the band added Victor Barriera on keyboards, an unusual move that added a prog rock flavor to their music others didn’t have. Mystique also had a dark tone to their ballads, resulting in dirges with balls instead of spandex syrup. After hearing them play, Ted Smirnlos borrowed money from his parents to start Torch Records....

Twenty-five years ago, this week, I won the Grand Jury Prize at the Slamdance Film Festival with my first feature film, Chi Girl. This year I begged/bratted my way into being on the jury for narrative features, breakout films, and episodic. I am not cool, never have been, and I’m too awkward to reach this status, so it’s a thrill to get to be around so many cool filmmakers, festival staff, and all the other cool people who surround them....

1927/28 — Janet Gaynor. Winning the first Best Actress Oscar for three films (“Sunrise,” “Seventh Heaven” and “Street Angel”), Gaynor had no problem adapting to the talking pictures but had problems getting parts that matched her Oscar-winning prestige. Aside from “State Fair” in 1933 and “A Star is Born” in 1937, her output in the 1930s was fairly desultory and by 1938 she responded to the lack of good parts by retiring from movies....

This film unfolds as bits of episodic encounters with the undead where vicious people meet them and get chased by them. One sequence is a jogger out for a run who incapacitates the zombie with a taser-like device, then turns to the camera and says, ‘Are you doing your part?’ Tying this somewhat together is an investigative television show styled after a UK program in which the on-camera hosts interview people who deny zombies, including some who say the outbreak results from left-wing socialism....

Some other films are heavily dependent on the theme of cannabis consumption and its wild effects....

We recently spoke with filmmaker Christian de Rezendes on his experience with Getting Out of Rhode Island. What was the first film you ever made? How old were you? I was 21, and it was called “Branches ’93″…. A rather lengthy documentary about my high school senior class….. took forever to get done, but it won a certificate at Chicago Film Fest…. Not bad for primitive craftsmanship, ay? What made you decide to become a filmmaker?...

Cold Creepy Feeling is a frustrating film to watch, mainly because it feels like it is all set-up. Save for the opening of the film, that hints at something untoward going on in the house, almost 40 or so minutes go by before anything remotely spooky happens. And unlike most people in these scenarios, Chloe and Jason don’t ignore or under-react, they overreact. A couple bad dreams the first night in and they’re already trolling the internet about spooky feelings and calling a psychic friend (Alex Damiano) to come check out their new abode....
