Where have I been!? I’ve never heard of the Blackout Film Festival, New York City’s only event-inspired film festival, which returns on Sept. 19.
I’ve looked around and I have been told it has an unparalleled 90 minute program of short films centering on the theme: The Great Recession.

From the BBC website…
Stephen Frears starts helming a version of graphic novel Tamara Drewe, and it stars Gemma Arterton.
The story is adapted from Posy Simmonds’ take on Far From The Madding Crowd – the classic novel by Thomas Hardy.
“I’ve loved Posy Simmonds’ work for a long time,” Frears said in a statement. “I’ve got a tremendous cast and crew. Tamara Drewe is a terrific story.”
Arterton will play Tamara, once a shy, ugly teenager, she reinvents herself as a smouldering femme fatale.

It’s a beauty isn’t it?

I almost forgot that 9 is out on Wednesday, but the lovely Victoria has sent me FOUR never-before-seen images, which are below. Gawp at their beauty.
If you cannot wait until the film’s release, how about playing the brand-new Cognitive Circuit Minigame (an addicting little brainteaser invented by the 9 Scientist to help train the brain as it was being created).
Here is the trailer for a delightful looking independent film called One Wish starring Kevin Kilner (from TV’s Earth: Final Conflict) and the lovely Christa B Allen (best known for 13 Going On 30).
No release date is set at this time.
Plot Synopsis
Jake Wylie is a happily married father or a teen-aged daughter, Molly, who is a dance champion preparing for the most important dance tournament of her life. Jake and his family are having their usual excellent time on The Promenade one evening when he sees that a three-year old girl is about to be hit by an oncoming automobile. Jake does the heroic thing and quickly moves to save the little girl’s life. Little does he know that good deeds are being rewarded that week and, because of his actions, he is being granted one wish. And little does he know what that one wish will do to his daughter and to his entire family.
