After a host of new additions last week this week is a little light on new additions. Most of the changes have to do with listing several films as now being tentative dates, as the next couple of weeks are pretty top heavy with new additions, and some are going to have to be pushed.

But their are two new additions, though they are not listed until December. This first is William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe (What a title!) and the second is Broken Embraces, the new Pedro Almodovar film that stars Penelope Cruz’s cleavage and a cast of thousands (or not).

I just got the word that the 2nd Annual Flyway Film Festival has announced that the Independent science fiction film Ink will be one of two opening night films for their festival this fall. Word is the screening will be held at the Stockholm Opera House in Stockholm, WI which seats 150. The screening is expected to sell out so be sure to buy your tickets and/or festival passes soon.

As for Ink, for those that remember it was previously showcased as part of our One to Watch films, and I am happy to say that their are few Independent films I have been more excited to see.

And if that isn’t enough, over the coming weeks I’ll have more announcements to make about this upcoming film festival. They’ve got one heck of a lineup planned, and this is looking like this will be an outstanding film festival for those of us living in the Midwest.

Holy crap! I know next to nothing about this film, other than it is being pitched as It’s a Wonderful Life meets Sin City (wtf?), but uhh, holy crap! Watch the trailer and see why that is the only appropriate response to this upcoming Indie film.

Also, note to bookers, what the hell are you waiting for?
