With a bottle of Pluto Water, mineral water with alleged healing properties as her only clue, she heads to the town of West Braden Indiana to begin shooting. Once there she quickly realizes this isn’t going to be as easy as it seems when Anne McKinney the self-appointed local historian...

A heartfelt if uneven story of letting go and misdirected emotional energy, Paul Shoulberg’s Ms. White Light imagines a young woman who has no social skills whatsoever unless the person she’s talking to is at death’s door. With the dying, she’s a savant. It’s a role well suited to star Roberta Colindrez, who on small screens (Vida, I Love Dick) has stood out with hard-to-pigeonhole charisma, but that’s not to say the film completely sells its conceit or escapes its maker’s origins in the theater. A near-miss that should find some appreciative viewers, it feels ...

Written and directed by Paul Shoulberg, the odd and occasionally profound dark comedy Ms. White Light features a unique profession at its core: the morality industry offering a niche product to consumers looking for a person to comfort their loved ones as they pass. A hospice nurse can pump them full of drugs, but the mortality counselors at father and daughter small business Cordova and Cordova extensively research their clients. Enter Val (Judith Light), a woman who retains the Cordovas, amongst other professionals, to keep her company much to the annoyance of Lex Cordova (Roberta Colindrez), who is good at her job but at not very much else.
Like anyone who’s been forced to be on for an extended period of time, Lex has issues dealing with grieving families after death has come for their loved one. In the film’s opening scene she profoundly reads a dying woman...

For attendees, there’s also keynote addresses with filmmakers and actors.
The standouts in this year’s lineup include Korine’s “The Beach Bum,” a much-anticipated comedy starring Matthew McConaughey, Snoop Dogg and Zac Efron.

Broad Green: How Wall Street Wealth, A-List Talent, and Brash Decisions Made an Indie Player Implode
It takes guts to join the indie distribution fray, especially when the market is challenged by big buyers like Netflix and Amazon Studios (which, along with Annapurna, is optimistically taking over its own theatrical distribution) and television is chasing down the hottest indie talent. Even one-time high-flyer The Weinstein Co., which once knew better than anyone how to play the indie game, is evolving to survive during these changing times.
When Wall Street billionaires Gabriel Hammond, 38, and his brother, Daniel, 34, launched independent producer-distributor Broad Green Pictures three summers ago, Hollywood was skeptical. It was a strange time to reinvent a dying economic model.
Now, after trying to use arcane algorithms to determine what movies to make, Gabriel has decided to pull the plug on production. The breaking point was the July 14 release of John Leonetti’s “Wish Upon,” which grossed $13.2 million on a $12 million budget. (Theaters return about half of the take to the distributor,...

An unlikely romantic comedy concerning a young parish priest struggling to discover the true scope of his religious calling, The Good Catholic doesn't so much challenge conventions as reinforce them. Potentially engaging enough to appeal beyond faith-based communities, writer-director Paul Shoulberg's feature remains a distinctly specialized item that would likely require dedicated care to reach beyond a core audience, which could be sizeable nonetheless.
Father Daniel (Zachary Spicer) ended up in the priesthood as a tribute to his deceased father, leading to his position as the youngest of three clergymen ministering to a Bloomington, In parish. Under the guidance of...
