The Interconnectedness of Nothing and Everything

An integral part of the indie filmmaking scene, when not contributing to Filmmaker Magazine helmer James Ponsoldt appears to be busy mounting his next project and five yearsafter his breakout debut Off the Black (a Sundance entry in 2006) we now have his sophomore pic - a dramedy featuring Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul along with Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Look for Smashed to grab a U.S Dramatic or Premieres spot.

It has been a long time coming for David Riker's sophomore to arrive - like Derek Cianfrance we're talking more than a decade between 1998's La Ciudad and next year's The Girl. Riker did make a blip at the fest for co-writing the award winning Sleep Dealer and this border crossing drama was workshopped at Sundance in 2007 and was one of the 2009 Sundance NHK Filmmaker Award winners. This should receive a U.S Dramatic Comp. showing.

Writer-director Todd Looby has been to Park City before - presenting his 2011 documentary short, Son of None at Sundance's competing festival, Slamdance. With Amy Seimetz - the hardest working film person in the biz cast with the inclusion of a bit part for Joe Swanberg, Be Good - a low budget DIY dramedy certainly looks, in this era of Go the F**k to Sleep parenting, like comedic material we'd find in Sundance's NEXT section.

There’s not much to see in this tiring Charlotte Rampling vanity project
