"I always wanted Animal Kingdom to be a crime story with a certain size and sprawl. I wanted it to be about a wide variety of characters and to happen in a wide variety of locations".

I'm getting to this press release a little late, but it's worth mentioning that this year's The Cinereach Project at Sundance Institute is supporting not one, not two, but three filmmaker names that we profiled in our inaugural American New Wave 25 series.

After holding back for about a month's time, today at 10:00 a.m. EST, Cameron Bailey and Piers Handling will announce the first wave of films to be part of the 35th festival edition and with Venice releasing their list tomorrow, TIFF will measure up by throwing out some huge red-carpet titles (25 to be exact). Tweeted by Bailey, 8 Gala World Premiere titles and 17 Special Presentation World Premiere titles are expected to be mentioned at the press conference.

IONCINEMA.com's inaugural American New Wave 25 (Class of 2010) was a blast to unveil and we'd like to thank those who took a timeout from their busy schedules to provide us with, not only extra info relating to their filmography, but for allowing us to use their pics as well (e.g. Reed Moreno on the set of Elgin James' much anticipated Little Birds starring Juno Temple).

You'd think a festival with 300 + film title offerings would pretty much covers all bases, but I think there'll be more broken hearts than usual as a result of the unbalanced production year that was 2009. Like a vintage year for wine, Toronto International Film Festival co-directors Piers Handling and Cameron Bailey should see in 2010, a significantly higher number of World and North American premieres (loads from Cannes and Venice) than previous years for the 35th edition.
