Glander and producer Payson made Boys Go to Jupiter with a tiny team and a $30,000 budget, showcasing the potential of indie filmmaking in animation.

In a bustling Boston café, Charlie is instantly smitten with Emma, who is quietly reading a novel. He approaches her, gushing about the book, only to realize she hasn't heard him.

Emma drops an absolute bombshell in the midst of a game where they're asked to reveal the worst thing they've ever done. Soon everyone around her starts to question how well they really know her.

Los Angeles is home to more than a dozen one-of-a-kind cinemas that operate on their own terms. Some of these theaters have been around for 100 years, and in classic LA fashion some of them are owned by living LA legends-think Quentin Tarantino and Kyle Ng. Kristen Stewart recently announced she's also jumping into the mix with her purchase of Los Angeles's Highland Theatre.

On YouTube, The Rest is History podcast draws roughly around 500,000 viewers, who stick around for an average of about 48 minutes. That's close to the length of a traditional hour-long show and even longer than the podcast's strong audio average of around 40 minutes.. For the production team, seeing that level of engagement, especially on TV screens, was a turning point. People weren't just listening along to podcasts. They're settling in to watch now too.

Last month, Netflix made the surprising decision to kill off a key feature: With no prior warning, the company removed the ability to cast videos from its mobile apps to a wide range of smart TVs and streaming devices. Casting is now only supported on older Chromecast streaming adapters that didn't ship with a remote, Nest Hub smart displays, and select Vizio and Compal smart TVs.

10 Cloverfield Lane Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman and John Gallagher Jr are locked in an underground bunker for the majority of this left-field sequel to Cloverfield, with thrilling results. In the film's final throes, Winstead's character exits the bunker, and finds that her captor was telling the truth about an alien invasion above - a twist that completely and ruinously dissipates the hard-earned tension that came before.

In a big studio-backed awards season, it's rare to see much overlap between the Film Independent Spirit Awards and the Oscars. A west coast cousin of sorts to the Gotham Awards, the Indie Spirits often celebrate the movies that the Academy skipped over with its nominations. The ceremony itself is also more fun (there's some day-drinking involved) than the more staid guild awards that dot the homestretch ahead of the similarly serious Academy Awards.

The story kicks off in a diner when a man claiming to be from the future barges in with a detonator and a warning about an impending AI-fueled doom spiral - and from there, it only gets weirder. Richardson says she tore through the script in one sitting. "My agent said, 'Haley, there's a good script. We want you to do it,' which is rare," she explains. "And then I read it all in one sitting... which is also rare."

In fact, I've made a conscious habit of seeking out successful individuals so I can learn from their experiences. But the man often nicknamed the "King of the Hollywood Blockbuster" continues to elude me. And yet, despite never meeting face to face, Spielberg taught me one of the most important lessons of my entire career. It's a lesson I've learned through engaging with his work.

I was so disgusted. Like, no, you can't have a murder in this sea of people already dying - that's not right, not fair. We can't let this go.

It's supposed to be a good thing, isn't it: finding something that got lost? But what if that lost thing isn't just a pair of sunglasses but a whole entire boat, the likes of which hasn't been seen for 30 years? In Mark Jenkin's forthcoming Rose of Nevada, out June 19, the title refers to said missing ship, once lost only to now drift back into the harbor of the remote fishing village whence it disappeared.

Last week, he opened a $230-million movie and television studio on the edge of the Arts District in downtown Los Angeles nestled alongside the dramatic new Sixth Street Bridge. The state-of-the-art complex has five sound stages, offices and other proper movie studio features such as a mill, commissary and base camp. "We just had all the major networks, all the major streaming platforms walk through this facility and they can't believe how nice it is," said Wainright, managing partner of East End Studios.

My value as a person is not reliant on me being nominated for anything or being snubbed. It's such a constructed reality. It's not a real competition. We made something months ago, and now we're putting it in a pot, and somebody's going to choose one.

We believed that the fans would just eat this alive if we did it justice,

They think we just know famous people and tell them to be in the movie," says Jessica Kelly, whose credits include Midsommar and the first two John Wick movies. "On set, everyone sees this or that person doing their job, and they can watch them do their magic. But because we're the first people hired and the entire production doesn't see us doing the work, I feel like for a long time it just kind of got forgotten.
