the creators of " sonicsgate " released a two - hour director ' s cut of their grassroots film for free online in october 2009 , bypassing traditional channels to get their message out to the widest audience possible . the documentary soon garnered widespread critical acclaim and created a new movement to bring the nba back to seattle .

the film has had nearly 300 , 000 views on youtube . it was named " the most persuasive grassroots flick of 2009 " by sports illustrated and received a webby award in 2010 for the best sports film . memorabilia featuring the " sonicsgate " logo is a must - have for seattle hoop fans hopeful of seeing the nba return someday .

the 43 - minute documentary exposes the shocking truth behind the sale and relocation of the seattle supersonics nba franchise , which moved to oklahoma city following an intense legal battle in 2008 . " sonicsgate " previously aired nationally on cnbc television in 2012 , and the producers are thrilled to now add it to the roster of films at espn classic .

" we know exactly where richard conlin stands in his unreasonable opposition to the sodo arena mou . conlin needs to be fired for his numerous actions against sonics fans and his dismissive , closed minded method of governing . the sonicsgate team is proud to endorse candidates such as kshama sawant and mayor mike mcginn , who actually listen to the people . "

the reason the group made sonicsgate , says brown , who served as producer along with reid ( jones was executive producer ) , was to counter the conventional wisdom that poor attendance and lack of local interest caused the move . if a team like the sonics can leave a big market , with a relatively loyal fan base , brown says , it could happen to any other city .

" sonicsgate " explores the series of controversial business dealings and embarrassing political failures that led to seattle ' s 41 - year team and its championship history being ripped away from a loyal fan base and a top tier media market . the film features rare archive footage and exclusive interviews with experts and insiders including gary payton , shawn kemp , george karl , sherman alexie and slade gorton . "

“this team was built on the backs of sonics fans , ” said adam brown a seattle based producer of the documentary of the franchise and city parting ways entitled “sonicsgate” . brown believes seattle deserves , and will receive , an nba franchise sooner rather than later . “they ( the nba ) ripped it away , and it’s one of the biggest ( sports ) scandals of our time . ”

“the sonicsgate soundtrack features songs by several northwest hip - hop artists including jake one , blue scholars , grayskul , common market , dyme def , grynch , neema , spaceman , wizdom , cancer rising and sir mix - a - lot [ 41 ] . it also features the song " supersonics " by seattle rock band presidents of the united states of america . ( original score by lil kriz ) ”

“ the most persuasive grassroots flick ( of 2009 ) . the makers of sonicsgate , which examines how seattle lost its nba team , felt so strongly about its message ( the team’s fans were screwed by a whole lot of people ) that they gave the movie away on their website . don’t be fooled by the price tag : this pitch - perfect documentary shows the collateral damage when a team leaves town . ”

i can ' t wait to see their whole team at the premier . i am anxious for the to re - engage with sonics fans and also excited to see who will step up to be " the next sonicsgate " and come out of the blue to bring new energy and ideas to this effort . we ' ve had an amazing run of talented young people deciding that they wanted to invest passion and energy in this process .

a five year old sports documentary is getting its second life . for the first time , espn will air sonicsgate , the documentary about the seattle supersonics leaving for oklahoma city and the questionable circumstances therein . the premiere is scheduled for friday , february 7th at 9 pm et . ( update : the film has now been rescheduled for march 14th . ) here ' s more details from a press release from the film ' s braintrust .

april 14 , 2010 — new york , n . y . — “sonicsgate : requiem for a team , ” the acclaimed feature documentary profiling the tragic death of the seattle supersonics , today announced it has been nominated for two 2010 webby awards in the categories of best sports film and best editing . a panel of judges decides the winners , which are announced on may 4 before the webby awards ceremony on june 13 in new york city .

but the original cut was simply a production of fan passion . so when cnbc called last december and began discussions about giving sonicsgate a national audience , there were significant obstacles to overcome . most notable was the need for brown and reid to get permission for all the footage used in the original version . brown said they were paid " just enough " to cover rights costs , add some fancier graphics and get better music in the recut version .

since relocation was denied i have certainly felt their absence . we have not heard a clear message from jason reid and i have barely had time to speak with him about the issue . i am really happy for them to be so busy with other projects . last month they debuted k2 : siren of the himalayas at the tellerude film festival . this thursday and again on sunday the crew that brought you sonicsgate presents evergreen : the road to legalization .

darren lund , editor : darren is an editor and occasional cinematographer with over a decade of experience in filmmaking . his work includes award winning films and music videos such as sonicsgate : requiem for a team ( 2009 ) , man zou : beijing to shanghai ( 2010 ) , k2 : siren of the himalayas ( 2012 ) , evergreen : the road to legalization ( 2013 ) , the finish line ( 2014 ) and mr . irrelevant . . .

the film’s producers will distribute free dvd copies to all attendees after the screening , which is the only way the general public can obtain the film in this format . more than 60 , 000 people have already watched the full movie online at sonicsgate . org , and producers plan to make the dvd available for sale sometime in 2010 . for now , director jason reid says they are giving away these exclusive promotional copies to spread the film’s message throughout the local community .

# keephoopalive ! never forget the 41 - year basketball legacy of our region . buy an official sonicsgate shirt and dvd , watch and share the streaming links . stay politically active in support of all efforts to build a modern and sustainable arena facility for nba , nhl , concerts , conventions and community events in seattle . contact your local elected officials and political candidates asking that they support arena efforts benefiting our entire region . with your help , we will bring back our seattle supersonics !

“ediaj” tells the story of small - time hustlers and yoga enthusiasts , quickly accelerating into a hilarious , operatic crime drama involving numerous kidnappings and unexpected pathos . the project features some of seattle’s rising filmmakers and actors , including a breakout performance by nate quiroga a . k . a . buffalo madonna of the notorious rap group mad rad and the acclaimed new indie band iska dhaaf . notable chapter directors include christian palmer ( “william never married” ) and webby award winner jason reid ( “sonicsgate” ) .

nba commissioner david stern’s credibility has been under fire as disgraced referee tim donaghy’s book “personal foul” hit shelves this week . donaghy served time in federal prison for gambling on games he officiated while under control of the mafia . his book alleges that the nba instructs its officials to make certain calls for specific star players and extend playoff series to maximize television revenue . “sonicsgate” is an equally devastating scandal that has been largely swept under the rug , until now . please direct media inquiries to the film’s producers :

sonicsgate was both a significant voice and a major strategic participant in efforts to retain fan enthusiasm after the team ' s departure . they don ' t get enough credit for the subtleties of their messaging , the tactical consideration they applied to every move and the timeliness of their efforts . they stepped up right when our efforts at save our sonics were feeling lost and directionless . a new crew with fresh energy stepping up to fill the gap was amazing . they were so , so smart and effective .

named it " the most persuasive grassroots flick of 2009 . " when " sonicsgate " won the webby award for best sports film in 2010 , the filmmakers brought legendary sonics point guard gary payton with them to accept the award and deliver the customary five - word webby awards speech : " bring back our seattle supersonics . " the film and associated bonus features have received more than two million online views since 2009 . a recut version of the film aired four times on national cnbc tv in 2012 .

a true labor of fan dedication , " sonicsgate : requiem for a team " traces the history of the seattle supersonics from its early championship era to the politics that led to the franchise ' s relocation as the oklahoma city thunder . the documentary won a webby award for internet achievement in the sports - video category recently . sonics legend gary payton accepted the award on behalf of the production crew . we caught up with director jason reid shortly after the festivities to get his thoughts on the glove and moving on as a fan :

first of all , if you watch sonicsgate through the end credits , you will see that the movie is dedicated to squatch . but it is funny you mention him . we were thinking about tracking down the old squatch outfit and bringing him along to the webby awards with us to accept our award , but we couldn ' t make it happen . last i heard , he was spotted hitchhiking outside of kansas city . i ' d be into him roaming around like the famous chicken . anything we can do to help preserve the history of the seattle supersonics .

sonicsgate : requiem for a team is , as jones has put it , a " digital primal scream " that details the franchise ' s history in seattle , the sale of the team from barry ackerley to starbucks magnate howard schultz , and from schultz to bennett , and the ultimate machinations that led to the team ' s move to oklahoma city . no one is spared , from local and state government officials , to schultz , to stern . bennett , obviously , gets hit pretty good , but also is given props for simply acting as a businessman would .

dope ass documentary style flick for bball fans . personally as a person from a big market city like ny where you never ever have to worry about the yankees or the knicks , or giants ever leaving , i really really enjoy the drama , pain , agony , back stabbing , & deceit which goes into the pro sports team ownership employ to leave the state they dont want to be in anymore for a better situation ! fans forget these teams are nothing more than toys of the wealthy that generate money . the relationship is a business one . this is an excellent flick ! sonicsgate : requiem for a team

" we made sonicsgate to bring the nba back to seattle , " reid said . " i think it ' s the nba who set this precedent . they took a stand here in seattle , and they said no team is safe . if they aren ' t making money , we will move them to a different market if there ' s a willing owner , and we will allow for that . and so the rules have been set . the stage has been set . we ' re just fans . we ' re pawns in their game . all we can hope for is ( the ) nba back in seattle .

with a mission to educate the public about the plight of all sports fans in the modern era , the film dissects the modern business of professional sports , nationwide public subsidy of arenas , corporate malfeasance , political impotence and the true helplessness of die - hard fans toiling against these powerful forces . espn’s bill simmons , author of the # 1 new york times bestseller “the book of basketball” recently wrote : “the sonics were stolen from seattle – literally , stolen , and if you don’t believe me , watch this movie . ” ( saturday , oct . 31 , 2009 , espn . com ) . more reviews at sonicsgate . org / reviews .

is this a tale of disenfranchised and powerless sports fans ? or is it a tale of one city wronged by another ? this matters . the first story is universal . the second one is a seattle - only story . sonicsgate makes one big mistake , in my estimation , in this regard . when clay bennett is on the screen , as often as not there ' s essentially the hokiest jaw harp music imaginable - - the message is that he ' s dumb because he ' s not from seattle , and it doesn ' t wash . he outmaneuvered everyone and got his team against long odds - - he ' s clearly not dumb .

i was a life - long sonics fan , having grown up south of seattle . with the sonics being stolen away , the nba is dead to me . this movie is an excellent look at how easily egos , short - sightedness , ignorance and pettiness conspired to rob seattle of something that truly contributed to the city ' s culture , pride and , yes , economy . my only qualm with the film is that it isn ' t the original , full - length version from sonicsgate . i still give it five stars , but it would have been nice for the dvd to have the full - length film as well . still , an excellent piece of work .

as a st . louis rams season ticket holder for several years , i was interested in comparing the circumstances that led to their departure with the sonics ' departure to okc . there were many similarities ( greed for a bigger & better arena , corruption in the hierarchy of the league office , etc . ) . if anything , i wish " sonicsgate " would have provided more in - depth coverage and interviews . that would have turned this 45 minute documentary into a very reasonable 60 minute documentary . overall , it was well done , but painful to see how some owners / leagues really don ' t care about their fans if they believe more money can be made in another city .

i am still an avid fan of the nba , despite what happened in seattle . in fact , i still subscribe to league pass and am in a 20 - team fantasy league with many of the guys who put together sonicsgate . it is , and always will , be my favorite sport . i tried to attach to the blazers because they have guys with seattle ties ( nate mcmillan , brandon roy , martell webster ) and geographically are closest team to seattle , but it wasn ' t the same as rooting for the sonics . so i drifted , following denver , memphis and a few other teams , until i finally decided to just root for overtime . it ' s much easier .

the new version was made specifically to fit in a 60 - minute tv slot ( 43 - min run time ) . this is the only version that is available to purchase . proceeds go toward recovering the costs that went into producing the film , dvd and website . the original 2 - hour director ' s cut released in 2009 is not available on dvd . sonicsgate : requiem for a team ( 2012 ) features new interviews , unearthed archive footage , new evidence and completely revamped graphics in a fast - paced story that pulls no punches . the dvd also contains a digital copy of the film with seven exclusive bonus features starring gary payton , shawn kemp , george karl , jeff ament , sherman alexie , kevin calabro and more !

the success of sonicsgate is an encouraging story about the power of a grass roots movement in the sports world . it began in 2009 as a free online film and has now traveled slowly but surely to the largest sports company in the world , winning several awards along the way . to see the film come to espn is a big day for the producers of the film and for seattle basketball fans hoping to get their team back . although this will be the second airing on national television , there ' s a big difference between airing on cnbc and airing on espn , even if it is the classic network that has seen distribution drop over the years . and it will provide another boost in awareness for the cause of resurrecting the sonics .

they have often been misinterpreted by the league . i ' ve heard them described as " an anti - nba terrorist organization . " and know that in some ways we pay a price for the perceived conflict between the fans of seattle and nba leadership . this attitude totally disregards their overwhelming message that they were taking desperate actions based on their love of the product and desire to bring the nba back . while i am sure that there are people in the league office who don ' t like being constantly reminded of their own failings and the botched execution here in seattle . what they don ' t understand is that the stark honesty with which sonicsgate approached the situation was an essential component to help us all process the pain and move forward . we could not have done it otherwise .

" richard conlin has proven to be smug , short - sighted and out of touch with the citizens of seattle during his 16 - year reign on the council . he needs to be removed from office to send a message that entrenched politicians aren ' t untouchable when they go against the will of the people . i believe it is important to have new blood with a healthily dissenting voice on the council . although sawant has not taken an official position on the sodo arena mou , her campaign shares in our outrage that seattle was robbed of the sonics by powerful , corrupt forces and that many local politicians , including conlin , own a share of the blame . the sawant campaign has met directly with the sonicsgate team and will maintain an open dialogue on this issue . we believe seattle ' s citizens will have a real voice in her administration . living wage jobs and the enjoyment of sports are both rights we should enjoy in our community . "

the stadium financing game is messed up and wrong all over this country . it ' s a national battle , but , as it pointed out in sonicsgate , it ' s fought locally . you ever play risk ? all over the map , it ' s 60 armies going against one little army after another . whatever city doesn ' t feel like paying , the big army can march over there and pick them off . the cities are vying against a bigger opponent , and instead of working together they work against each other , with predictable results . throughout the documentary , people like ross hunter and the people from citizens for more important things make principled arguments that say , in essence , we can ' t pay for a stadium when we don ' t have enough money for good schools . hard for anyone to tell them they ' re wrong . however , like a lot of people with strong ideals , they may lack pragmatism . . . when the ceo of microsoft has his checkbook open ready to fix up your stadium , you play ball .

i think that the move of the sonics was a perfect storm of not only bad luck , but political malfeasance , corporate greed , lies and betrayals , and promises broken . i also believe that the nba set a very dangerous precedent with how the handled the situation in seattle , the precedent that no team is safe , especially mid to small - market cities . if it could happen to seattle it could happen anywhere . we had 41 years of history , a championship , and despite what the nba and clay bennett want you to believe , we have an amazing fan base who supported this team through a string of bad owners and years of mediocrity , which ultimately led to the sonics drafting kevin durant .

how did you first get in contact with gary payton ? walk us through how you prepared to get him to accept the award and deliver the acceptance speech at the awards ceremony .

we spent months trying to track down gary payton for the film before finally getting ahold of him through his agent [ which was ] only after they had seen our trailer for the film , only a month before the premiere . gary said he would be willing to do the interview if we could be in vegas the next day . we promptly booked a flight and the next day we were at gp ' s house ! we decided that we ' d stay in town that night - - just in case he wanted to go out on the town . sure enough , as we were about to leave he asked , " what are you guys doing tonight ? wanna come out to my fantasy football party at the mgm grand ? " giddy as schoolchildren we quickly accepted his invitation .

we ended up hanging out with gp , his wife monique , and their friends and family for the whole night , and everyone had a blast . so when the webby awards came up , we asked him if he would be willing to deliver our five - word acceptance speech and he was more than happy to come to nyc to help the cause .

in the limo on the way to the event , and then again at our table before going on stage with his wife and daughter . they kept on giving him unsolicited advice to which gp , playfully reminiscent of his trash talking days on the basketball court , assured them that he had the five words down .

) and deliver the message that everyone associated with the film , the sonics , and the city of seattle wanted to hear : bring back our seattle supersonics .

the success of the sounders has been fun to watch , but for me it in no way replaces the sonics and nba basketball . that ' s my sport , that ' s where my love is . soccer is great and i ' m really happy that so many people in seattle have embraced it , but i want to see lebron james , kobe bryant , and the other great nba athletes playing in my town during the cold , rainy winter months .

i think the success of the sounders though is a testament to how great a sports city seattle is . if we can support the sounders at this level , i have no doubt that when nba basketball returns to this market , it will be embraced with the same excitement .

i think there are still bridges to mend between the nba and the city of seattle , but if a new owner steps up ( say , microsoft ceo steve ballmer ) , i think they will be embraced with open arms . it would be a civic gesture on their part to restore the history and legacy of the seattle supersonics and i feel like that ' s what everyone wants , so i don ' t think it will be as hard as it seems .

that being said , i think the nba , not necessarily the new owners , has a lot of work to do in this community . david stern insulted this community for years in the way he handled the sonics situation and there are a lot of people who want nothing to do with a league run by someone who disrespected our fan base in the way that he did . i think a formal apology and addressing this issue directly by the league and david stern could go a long way to restoring people ' s faith in the league .

seattle supersonics - - always and forever ! we need to restore the history ( including the name ) of this great organization and as long as it ' s in the greater seattle area , they will be known as the seattle supersonics . period .

the seattle skyline , in a photo taken from the upper queen anne neighborhood , shows the area where key arena sits .

he remembers the day in olympia , the state capital , when the seattle supersonics were trying to convince the washington state legislature ' s ways and means committee , one last time , to build a new arena . otherwise , the sonics - - the newly - bought - by - clay - bennett - from - oklahoma - city - sonics - - were almost certain to leave town , and everyone knew it , even if bennett was swearing he hadn ' t yet made up his mind . of course , big lo was there . big lo was always there .

– production design is what creates a film’s own individual settings , placing it within its specific historical and social context and generating its unique atmosphere . maximilian lange still has fond memories of the production

the shooting was started in march 2013 . along with prasanna , narain was supposed to play the lead roles , but they both were replaced with ajmal ameer and ashok , while gayathrie was reported to play the female lead . ajmal ameer stated that he played a rockstar in the film and that he was paired with mumbai - based priya banerjee . in august 2013 , a song , penned by madhan karky , was to be shot . vidharth said that he played the role of a rowdy gang leader . gayathrie in october 2013 stated that every character in the film comes in shades of grey and that seventy per cent of the film had been completed . west indies cricketer dwayne bravo had agreed to dance for a song in the film , which was shot in october 2013 .

talking about how he landed it , prasanna says , “i had watched the film even before this role came to me . i was mulling over the offer as i was looking for a script that would allow me to play the lead . that’s when listin stephan , producer of the malayalam film , met me and explained why he wanted me to essay this role . and i agreed . ”

. the german association of production and costume designers ( vsk ) , of which lange is also a member , defines the profession as follows : “a production designer works creatively on and is responsible for a film’s design by creating the setting for the actors and for the movement of the camera . ” lange himself describes his work by saying : “i try to create a coherent overall look for a film” .

after biryani , prasanna is to work with rajan madhav , who directed him in muran . “both rajan and i have enormous trust in each other . a good director is one who can spot an artiste’s strengths and exploit them . rajan knows my strengths . we have titled the film ula . i have only heard the storyline . i am sure he will come up with an impressive script . he has been working on it for the last eight months now . we intend to start work on the multi - starrer in december . ”

in 2012 , riel produced two feature length films for olympus : bottled up written and directed by new york filmmaker enid zentelis , starring oscar winning actress melissa leo , marin ireland , and josh hamilton which premiered at the 2103 tribeca film festival , and the wait written and directed by new york filmmaker m blash , starring jena malone and chloe sevigny , which had its world premiere at the 2103 sxsw film festival .

which was largely set in a courtroom . because we were unable to find a genuine courtroom in which we were allowed to film , we decided to build one ourselves in a former bank building” , remembers lange .

prasanna shares a great rapport with actor - director cheran ( remember muran ? ) cheran not only acted in the film but also produced it . now , the friends are coming together once again for chennaiyil oru naal .

shooting of chennaiyil… is almost over . “just a song sequence remains to be canned . the makers are planning to release the film in december , ” informs prasanna , who will next be working on venkat prabhu’s biriyani .

known for his impromptu dance moves on the cricket field , west indies cricketer dwayne bravo is all set to groove to a song in upcoming tamil drama " ula " . the yet - to - be composed song will be used for promotional purposes for the film . " we are planning to shoot the promotional song with dwayne in a couple of weeks . it ' s a very special song and i ' m sure the audiences are going to love it . he was very generous to say ' yes ' to the song instantaneously , " the film ' s director rajan madhav told ians . bravo is very popular in chennai as he ' s a key player of the chennai super kings team . " our producer approached him through a common friend . he is known for his freestyle dancing and we want to capitalize on it . show him the way the audiences would love to see him on screen , " madhav added . the film has music by rajan ' s brother sajan madhav . it also features vidharth , ajmal amir , radhika apte and gayathrie in lead roles .

produced with the assistance of the government of nunavut and the nunavut film development corporation and kitikmeot economic development commission & the human resources and skills development canada and the government of nunavut & the department of culture , language , elders & youth .

when i attended one of these evenings it became instantly clear to me that i had to make a connection between ilse in my film " the old song " and grischa huber ' s evening . the actress had already agreed to sing ilse ' s song in the film , reinterpret the song of germany and play the beautiful and mysterious woman , which ilse appears to be . grischa huber and i agreed on the impossibility of simply putting parts of the evening into the film . we decided to do a prologue . i selected nine excerpts from the work , which grischa huber had chosen . we dramatized these excerpts in the landscape of no - mans - land , the area in which the torn - down wall was being turned to rubble .

what a fantastic surprise . i ' ve seen luke - warm reviews about this film , largely saying that the theatrical basis ( the broadway show ) is oh - so - evident . well , in my opinion , this is one of the film ' s strengths . it ' s a well - intentioned performance and is close enough to the original producers , and so unlike it , that the musical remake is justified . i love musicals , especially musical comedy . this film is a sop to the musical comedy , with good performances from the leads , and uma thurman and will ferrell , who all appear to be enjoying themselves . the central ( staged ) number " springtime for hitler " is brilliantly choreographed , with suitably outrageous costumes . gary beach as a brilliantly camp hitler completes this excellent scene . and the bratwurst ! ! the editing in this sequence - camera panning to the gob - smacked audience is brilliant . this is a film that salutes and spoofs musicals . it ' s an absolute delight

originally from kugluktuk , nunavut , stacey now currently resides in the capitol of nunavut , iqaluit , with her five - year - old daughter . stacey owns and manages puhitaq , a 100 % inuit - owned company which specializes in film and cultural arts .

moving from the tight confines of the family home to more expansive verdant exteriors , cinematographer ula pontikos keeps her focus tight , lending a dreamy expressionist edge to the interior lives of these complex characters . composer luke sutherland provides psychodramatic ambient scene - setting , while sharp music and sound edits highlight the isolated experiences of family members , reminding us that multiple realities coexist in even the most everyday circumstances . yet at the core of all this strange magic is a trio of utterly believable performances that draw us into the bosom of this family , making us care deeply about their hopes and aspirations . the story may be elusive but the film’s human heart is bold , striking and tangible .

in july 2012 , actor prasanna tweeted that rajan madhav had finished penning his next script and that he will be a part of the cast . the film was titled as ula in august 2012 and said to be a multi - starrer . instead of the director ' s brother sajan , thaman was signed in to compose the score , while padmesh and praveen k . l . - n . b . srikanth were reportedly roped in as the cinematographer and the editors . prasanna in september told that rajan madhav had been working on the script for eight months and that it was planned to start in december . saiarun was later signed as the editor , replacing praveen and srikanth .

german production designers have an excellent international reputation , and it was not for nothing that three oscars® were awarded to the potsdam studio babelsberg art department in february 2015 . as lange explains , however , they still have to fight for acknowledgment at home . the profession is more highly valued in england , france and the usa , no doubt partly because more expensive films with a need for more lavish production design tend to be produced there . all the same , he has no desire to change career because his work is so varied : “each film comes with its own challenges : there may be very little time , there may be lots of different film locations , or the film may be particularly complex in historical terms . at the end of the day , however , it is always a joy to see one’s idea grow and then take on concrete form . ”

by inviting artists from different disciplines ( film , theater , visual art , etc . ) to produce personal work within its existing structure , the viewmaster becomes a platform in which different works that are fully authored by the invited artists are tested within the controlled time and space of this performance tool .

a distinguished graduate of the american film institute , seamus’ most recent credits include : the comedy in a world directed by lake bell staring lake , demetri martin , rob corddry , ken marino . he shot josh radnor’s directorial debut happythankyoumoreplease starring radnor , malin ackerman , kate mara and richard jenkins , which won the audience award at sundance this year . seamus has also shot 2nd unit on nbc’s big budget show kings starring ian mcshane , adam released by fox searchlight starring hugh dancy and rose byrne ( the new york times singled out his work in the film ) ; “the good guy” starring bryan greenberg and scott porter ( premiered at the 2009 tribeca film festival ) ; and the narrows directed by françois velle and starring vincent d’onofrio , eddie cahill and sophia bush , released by cinedigm . other recent accomplishments include veronika decides to die directed by emily young and starring sarah michelle gellar , jonathan tucker and erika christensen .

says prasanna : “our friendship goes back to the days of azhagiya theeye . he watched the film and offered me a role even before its release . that was the time his autograph was running successfully . for some reason , that project didn’t take off . now i am happy working with him in chennaiyil oru naal . ”

his work begins weeks and sometimes even months before shooting actually starts . ideally , a production designer is already involved at the treatment stage , though usually their job begins with the screenplay : “while reading , i already find a film unrolling in my own head as i automatically conjure up the appropriate settings and atmospheres” , explains lange .

canadian born filmmaker riel roch decter is currently the director of production for the la based independent feature film company olympus pictures . while working at olympus , riel has helped the company produce numerous award winning feature films including stuart blumberg’s debut feature thanks for sharing starring mark ruffalo , gwyneth paltrow , and tim robbins , andrew adamson’s film mr . pip starring hugh laurie , julian farino’s the oranges starring hugh laurie , leighton meester , and catherine keener , john cameron mitchell’s rabbit hole starring nicole kidman and aaron eckhart , for which kidman was nominated for an oscar for best actress , and mike mills’ beginners starring ewan mcgregor and christopher plummer , for which plummer won the 2012 academy award for best supporting actor .

seamus has shot over 25 feature films and over 45 short films such as artistic license ( which won the audience award at the austin film festival ) . his accolades also include “movie theatre hero” , recipient of the 2002 coca - cola refreshing filmmakers award that screened in amc theatres across the country ; and zen : the art of landscaping recipient of the 2001 student academy award .

prior to founding northwood productions , de pencier was the director of development for both divisions of robert redford’s company , wildwood enterprises and southfork pictures . de pencier began her career as an actress and singer performing in numerous productions on stage , television and screen including starring as josie pye in the acclaimed television film anne of green gables and performing on stage in the canadian premiere productions of les miserables and andrew lloyd webber’s aspects of love .

the narrative may nominally pivot upon the provenance of the unborn child ( a question that the screenplay , like its protagonist , refuses to discuss ) , yet tucker green is clearly more interested in the familiar interpersonal tensions that are as immediately recognisable as those of a mike leigh film . having earned her spurs in both theatre and television ( she adapted her stage - play random for channel 4 in 2011 ) , this versatile writer - director knows how to draw natural performances from her cast , the playful musical lilt of her dialogue giving way to bouts of resonant silence . there’s also a touch of ken loach’s kes , not just in the overlapping conversations but in a fluttering subplot about an injured bird that comes to signify much more than just fragile dreams or nurturing instincts . in the absence of angels , this flightless creature is the closest the film comes to playing its theological hand .

the production designer is always the head of the art department , with responsibility for managing the budget and putting a team together . depending on the scale of the production , the art department may include not only an assistant , a property master and a location scout , but also an additional art director , set dresser or set decorator . together , they select suitable furniture and furnishings . as lange explains , organizational talent and communication skills are important prerequisites for the job : “one has to motivate the team and give them the feeling that the film is really theirs” .

none of which is to suggest that second coming should be seen as a “supernatural” picture . despite the title ( which oddly conjures allusions to such horror staples as rosemary’s baby and the omen ) , tucker green’s film is more a meditation upon the life - changing effects of pregnancy and the hopes , fears and anxieties that attend any birth . to this end , young francis lewis does a wonderful job of hinting at jj’s only - child fears of an interloper , while elba captures the disorienting rage of a husband impotently shut out of his partner’s affections with sinewy conviction .

maximilian lange first studied interior design and then worked as an assistant production designer before becoming a fully - fledged production designer himself . for many years the only way into production design was to switch from another career . it is only since 1991 that there has been formal academic training and continuing education routes into this profession . as compared to a career change , one of the advantages of studying production design is that a combination of theoretical seminars and practical film projects provides students with basic cinematic knowledge , thus enabling them to give valuable input within the production team . in addition , students are able to network and establish useful contacts , says regine witzig , who is responsible for the two - and - a - half - year project - based degree course in production design at the filmakademie baden - württemberg : “by the time they graduate they know quite a few camera operators , directors and producers . ” that said , it is also important for film academy graduates to work as assistant production designers . there is probably no one - size - fits - all recipe for a career in production design . “a healthy self - confidence” is necessary , believes regine witzig : “production designers have to deal with all kinds of different people and need to be able to push their ideas through . ”

“venkat is again close to me . we became friends while participating in a fund - raising programme organised by the banyan . i had wanted to work with venkat ever since and when his chennai 600028 was to go on floors i wanted to be part of it . however , venkat pointed out that it was a film for newcomers , and i , an established artiste , would not fit in . unfortunately , when he wanted to cast me in mankatha , i couldn’t take it up because of date problems . now , his biriyani has come my way . all i can say at this point is i play an important role in it . ”

the series explores the possibilities of viewmaster as a tool that can be used by other artist to develop own work . taking the idea of vm as an architectural machine rather than a scenography to its limit , it is logical to give the object to different users , freeing it from its unique relation to one specific work and developing it as a mobile production unit . in the series invited guests develop a personal score based on the viewmaster’s architectural and conceptual set - up . through a hands - on workshop of 2 days and a 3 - 4 week residency they can develop an own episode of the viewmaster series . much as the cinema apparatus is used to create and project each time a different film .

with offices in los angeles and toronto , de pencier has a large slate of films and television series in development . recent producing credits include : thanks for sharing written and directed by academy award nominee stuart blumberg and starring mark ruffalo , gwyneth paltrow , tim robbins , josh gad and the international pop star alecia moore . beginners directed by mike mills and starring ewan mcgregor and christopher plummer . produced with olympus pictures and released by focus features . beginners earned numerous awards including the 2012 academy award for best supporting actor for christopher plummer as well as the golden globe , independent spirit award , bafta award and sag award for best supporting actor . the film also won the 2011 gotham award for best picture of the year . adam starring hugh dancy , rose byrne , peter gallagher and amy irving and pu - 239 for beacon pictures and hbo , and executive produced by steven soderbergh and george clooney .

new york , 1959 . max bialystock was once the king of broadway , but now all his shows close on opening night . things turn around when he ' s visited by the neurotic accountant leo bloom , who proposes a scheme tailor - made for producers who can only make flops : raise far more money than you need , then make sure the show is despised . no one will be interested in it , so you can pocket the surplus . to this end , they produce a musical called springtime for hitler written by escaped nazi franz liebken . then they get the insanely flamboyant roger de bris to direct . finally , they hire as a lead actress the loopy swedish bombshell ulla ( whose last name has over 15 syllables ) . as opening night draws near , what can go wrong ? well , there ' s no accounting for taste . . .

three songs from the broadway show were cut : " king of broadway " , " in old bavaria " , and " where did we go right ? " the second act reprise of " opening night " was also cut , as were sections of " along came bialy " . despite " where did we go right ? " being cut , the reference to this song in " betrayed " remains .

iracles may be an everyday occurrence , but in a secular age they can be less of a blessing than a curse . films as diverse as carl theodor dreyer’s

have wrestled with the anachronistic intersection between the domestic and the allegedly divine , with results ranging from comedy to tragedy . in terms of subject matter , playwright debbie tucker green’s beautifully ambiguous debut feature perhaps bears comparison with richard glatzer and wash westmoreland’s 2006 oddity

) , in which a mexican - american girl approaching her 15th birthday discovers she is pregnant , despite her certainty that she is still a virgin .

in second coming , jackie ( nadine marshall ) is a middle - aged mum with a history of miscarriages whose family life is thrown into turmoil by the prospect of another child . for jackie , her much - loved 11 - year - old son , jj , ( kai francis lewis ) is a miracle in his own right . yet the prospect of another pregnancy raises the spectre both of traumatic maternal loss and of marital estrangement from mark ( idris elba ) , with whom she has not been intimate for some time . is jackie’s silence on the subject of her conception a symptom of denial , deceit , derangement – or something altogether more mysterious ?

in a highly nuanced central performance , marshall is both engaging and evasive , perfectly matching the fluid tone of tucker green’s enigmatic urban parable . scenes of adroitly observed dinner - table domesticity sit alongside surreal episodes in which holy water ( baptism or deluge ? ) falls upon the mother - to - be in what may be a dream , a fantasy or a “vision” . brilliantly , this increasingly tempestuous theme is introduced in a manner so mundane that at first we think it’s nothing more than a problem with the plumbing . only when the water starts to sweep dramatically across the screen do we appreciate that something otherworldly may be at hand , although whether this is all in the head or the heart of a tormented soul is left for us to decide . more than once i was reminded of the indefinability of carol morley’s the falling , with its almost subliminal flashes of jungian interactivity , a hive - mind existing beyond time and space , scratching at the edge of our subconscious .

when the wall came down and currency and country were united , the actress grischa huber thought it time to do something to console the german people . like hölderlin , she saw the germans as a people torn apart . as a great devotee of j . c . f . hölderlin she selected one of her favorite literary works , the novel

. she performed the work in the hall of paintings of the hamburg theater . until 1991 she formed part of the ensemble in hamburg . her one - hour performance was a surprise hit both with the hamburg critics as well as the young members of the audience . so she decided to repeat the hölderlin evenings .

is the germans ' old refrain . it is a hard saying , and yet i speak it because it is the truth : i can think of no people more at odds with themselves than the germans . you see artisans , but no men , thinkers , but no men , priests , but no men , masters and servants , but no men , minors and adults , but no men - is this not like a battlefield on which hacked - off hands and arms and every other member are scattered about , while the life - blood flows from them to vanish in the sand ?

but your germans choose not to go beyond the barest necessities , which is the reason why there is so much botched work among them and so little that is free , that gives any genuine pleasure . yet that could be overlooked , were not such men of necessity insensitive to what is beautiful in life , did not the curse of godforsaken unnature everywhere lie upon such a people . would that i could show you a freer country , a country filled with beauty and soul , and say :

production designers are creative designers . but there is more to it than that . they need to be good all - rounders : artists , historians , communication experts , finance directors and heads of departments , all at the same time . is this something that can be learnt ?
