The internet is a huge tool for independent filmmakers, it provides knowledge, helps them make a name for themselves and it even helps them get started.

There are a number of interesting projects beginning online, and we’ve found one that is worthy of your attention. Producer Curtis Andersen and director Zeke Pinheiro (The Price) have launched a kickstarter campaign in hopes of getting the funds to hire a casting director and a storyboard artist for their next project, which they promise will be a slasher with real scares.

Natalie Portman followed her beautiful Oscar winning performance in Black Swan with the casual Emma in No String Attached. The Ivan Reitman film was a financial success, but didn’t get much love from the critics. In a few weeks, Portman’s costar Mila Kunis is following her work in Black Swan with a Will Gluck romantic comedy titled Friends with Benefits. When the Benefits’ trailer hit the web, we had Deja Vu, but Blind Film Critic went the extra mile and created a trailer mashup to show audiences that Friends with Benefits and No Strings Attached are the same film, just made by different studios.

Normally we do a video of the day, but today was a little bit harder. There were too many options to choose from, so we simply have a roundup post with a bunch of funny videos and a couple random things we found on the internet. It should kill at least twenty minuets while you are working (not that we encourage that sort of thing — but we do).

The first night of Sundance was a bit rough. Aside from missing out on Howl AND the Spike Jonze Series of Dramatic Shorts which I really wanted to see, I watched a screener of another film and learned an extremely valuable lesson while on the shuttle ride home — keep your mouth shut if you don’t like a movie.
