Chicago – Australian actor Alex Russell has a penchant for exploring the darker sides of the teenage psyche. He made his film debut as a loathsome bully in Ben C. Lucas’ “Wasted on the Young,” before landing a lead role in Josh Trank’s surprise hit, “Chronicle,” about three teens who suddenly acquire superpowers and are excited by the dangerous magnitude of their mysterious abilities.
The dynamic between high school buddies Matt (Russell), Andrew (Dane DeHaan) and Steve (Michael B. Jordan) feels wholly authentic, and Trank finds ingenious ways of fusing in-camera effects with the naturalistic visual style inherent in the found footage genre. Chicagoans who missed the film during its initial theatrical run this year will be able to catch it at midnight June 8th and June 9th at the Music Box Theatre.
Russell’s second film, “Almost Kings,” will be released June 12th courtesy of Breaking Glass Pictures, and...

Netflix is arguably the best system of renting movies out there. Giving you the option of streaming a movie (or TV show) straight to your television – and now the iPad and iPhone – it’s making it tough for other competitors to keep up. It’s no surprise that the innovative company launched a film competition called “Find Your Voice.” They had over 2,000 applications from all over the planet and they chose Philip G. Flores as their winner. On a prize budget of $350,000 and a year to make the film, Flores has completed his film and it will premiere on Netflix for 48 hours starting June 25th at 8 Pm Pst. Also, if you’re attending the Laff (where our West Coast gals Kate Erbland and Allison Loring are at), you can catch it on the big screen.

It's been a busy year for The Wheeler Boys writer/director Philip G. Flores. Since winning Film Independent's Netflix Find Your Voice competition last year, Flores has been on quite a ride going from script to screen in less than 12 months. Flores, an alumni of Film Independent's Screenwriters Lab, sat down with Film Independent Director of Talent Development Josh Welsh to talk about The Wheeler Boys and its upcoming world premiere later this month at the Los Angeles Film Festival.

You've been extremely busy since we last interviewed you, just before the Screenwriters Lab began. It's a broad question, but how have these last months been for you?
Making this film has been the most incredible experience of my life. It's been amazing to see a story you've been dreaming up in your head forever comes to life, first on set, and now during the post-production process.

The 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival is set to run June 17-27 in a brand new location. Oh, it’s still in L.A, but it’s moving across town, from Westwood — where it’s been held the past few years — all the way over to Downtown.
The main “hub” for the fest will be the new L.A. Live complex, but there will also be screenings at other locations, such as the Downtown Independent and Redcat theaters. The city is really trying to build downtown up into a major arts and culture hub, so the festival moving there fits in with that agenda. Film Independent, the organization that runs Laff, also runs the annual Independent Spirit Awards, an event that also moved downtown — from Santa Monica — this year.
