Exclusive: With Gotham nearing the end of its five-season run, Robin Lord Taylor has booked his followup series gig – a recurring role on the upcoming second season of Netflix’s You.
The actor, who has played power hungry Oswald Cobblepot on Fox’s Batman prequel since the pilot episode, will play Will on You. Will deals with unsavory sorts as part of his job, but is himself a thoughtful, personable, and highly intelligent guy who marches to the beat of his own drummer. That is, until he gets trapped in a bad situation.
You, which also hails from Gotham producer Warner Bros., follows bookstore manager Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley). In the freshman season, which was based on Caroline Kepnes’ best-selling novel of the same name and aired on Lifetime, Goldberg becomes obsessed with his customer Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail), using social media and the internet to stalk her.

In The Sleepwalker (Sundance Selects / limited release 11.21), filmmaker Mona Fastvold sequesters her quartet of players in mostly volatile sibling, lover and fighter pairings. Architecturally speaking, the setting is a particular one. An under repair, posh yet isolated million plus dollar refuge in the woods acts as a sort of centrifuge system for dysfunctionality. Archetypally speaking, we find the protective nurture in the sisterly bound, romantically fused couples and a testosterone-filled joust between classes in this over-reaching air/atmosphere of unconscious and subconscious behaviours.
Christopher Abbott (Martha Marcy May Marlene, Carlos Puga’s All That I Am (aka “Burma”), Josh Mond’s short film, 1009) had arrived at Sundance having just completed filming on Mond’s feature debut, James White (we briefly discuss this at the tail-end of the interview) plays Andrew, the sort of blue collar hammer and nail kind of New Englander with a pit-bull like short fuse, while Gitte Witt plays girlfriend Kaia,...

They range in age, amount of screen time, supporting or principle characters, and have previous (television work, stage and or bit parts in Hollywood/Indiewood productions or next to no film experience at all. In essence these folks have a special gift and have essentially broken out. I had the fortune of having a team of four journalists (Caitlin Coder, Jordan M. Smith, Nicholas Bell and myself) covering the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and when you got a small army covering a major fest it ensures that fine performances from a new crop of acting talents don’t go undetected. Michael B.

While the MTV series "True Life" might be the most recognizable title on director Carlos Puga's CV, when it came to crafting his sophomore feature film, he put together something quite different than you might expect. Picking up Special Jury Recognition for Ensemble Cast at SXSW last month, "Burma" is a compelling family drama and as it continues its festival circuit run, we've got a couple exclusive posters from the movie to share with you. (Former) "Girls" star Christopher Abbott, Gaby Hoffmann and Michael McCann each get some nicely stylized character one sheets. The film tells the story of three children, Susan, Christian, and Win, who were abandoned by their father Dr. Lynn, while their terminally ill mother was on her deathbed. Years later he returns to a family reunion, and his presence stirs up the dynamic among everyone attending. One to keep an eye on, "Burma" will next...

When you’ve got a film that’s a slice-of-life family drama through and through, you run the risk of forging forward without a hook to make it stand out from the lot. However, thanks to its Special Jury Recognition for Ensemble Cast at SXSW, Carlos Puga’s “Burma” might have just gotten the boost it needed to spark a significant degree of intrigue well beyond its festival run. Christopher Abbott leads the piece as Christian, a struggling writer still reeling from the passing of his mother. While Christian opts to drown his sorrows in parties, booze, and cocaine, his sister Susan (Gaby Hoffman) hopes to cope through hosting their annual family get-together [ Read More ]

Another year and another great festival wraps up deep in the heart of Texas. As the curtains draw to a close on the Paramount and the music fades, Friday marked the end of another great festival at South by Southwest. With over a hundred films screened, this year’s festival has introduced a plethora of great films to audiences. The festival has been a chance to showcase big headliners like Evil Dead as well as highlight fantastic indies like Zero Charisma. The greatest thing about these festivals is the air of collaboration between various artists, admirers, and professionals alike. Hearing a conversation between a music badge holder, film badge press, and interactive entrepreneurs sums up South by Southwest succinctly. It really captures the spirit of South by Southwest and reminds us why Austin is a true Mecca for creativity and collaboration. Signing off from Austin, TX, see y’all next year!

Burma
Directed by Carlos Puga
Written by Carlos Puga
Every family has their own issues, tendencies, and dysfunctions, but that familial bond transcends any sort of disagreement. However, what happens when familial bonds are tested against each other. When trust is betrayed, when parents abandon their children, what is the end result? Carlos Puga’s Burma takes an honest look at abandonment, resentment, and the sometimes unfulfilling sense of reconciliation.
The film revolves around three siblings: Christian (Christopher Abbott) the wayward, drug abusing writer, Susan (Gaby Hoffmann) the overbearing mother and wife, and Win (Dan Bittner) the successful and hopeful children’s writer. They are all living distant lives until their annual family reunion rolls around. Christian is at an all time low, having blown an interview, and then his father (Christopher McCann), having left them nine years ago, returns promising to have a satisfying reason why he left.

“Burma,” made by first-time feature filmmaker Carlos Puga and winner of the Grand Jury Award for Ensemble Cast at SXSW, looks at a family in crisis. They aren't falling apart, but instead put together, suddenly, awkwardly, and the building blocks hurt. What starts as a generic and even patience-testing drama ultimately grows into a film boasting strong performances and a few unexpectedly open wounds. Christian (Christopher Abbott) is an adrift twentysomething with writer’s block and a cocaine habit. His routine consists of casual hook-ups with college-age girls and general self-sabotage of his potential as a novelist and emotionally functional adult. He is thrown into even deeper chaos with the surprise arrival one night of his estranged father, Dr. Lynn (Christopher McCann), who we learn abandoned Christian and his two siblings and their mother when she was on her deathbed. Dr. Lynn’s unannounced visit is on the eve of...

Austin — A buried-secret family drama whose prodigal father is almost as mysterious when the credits roll as when we meet him, Carlos Puga's Burma watches as three adult siblings disagree over whether to allow the man back into their lives. Fest audiences will likely be underwhelmed by the capable but familiar picture, the feature debut for a director best known for MTV's True Life. Christopher Abbott stars as Christian, an aspiring writer who has been floundering and doing too many drugs since the death of his mother, years ago. But he still honors his annual reunion with siblings

First time filmmaker Carlos Puga, formerly a documentarian for MTV's "True Life," had known for awhile that he wanted to make narrative films. When his short "Satan Since 2003" experienced success at Sundance, he finally set out to make his first feature, and in doing so landed a great cast including Christopher Abbott ("Girls") and Gaby Hoffman ("Crystal Fairy"). What it's about: "Burma" is the story of a sibling reunion that is sent reeling with the arrival of an unexpected and unwelcome guest. Tell Us About Yourself: I was born in Chile and raised in Miami, Fl. After high school I moved to New York and attended The Stern School of Business at Nyu, where I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics. Interesting stuff, but not really the career path I was planning on. During the college years I also studied directing and acting at various studios around the city.

South by Southwest is selling out this year – but in a good way. The film festival unveiled its 2013 lineup on Thursday, and festival director Janet Pierson told TheWrap that this year the films just feel more accessible, and, dare she say, commercial than in year's past. Don't fret South By loyalists, the lineup includes plenty of quirky and unnerving entrants, and most of the films in competition are from unknown or less established filmmakers. Pierson does that intentionally. Why make Carlos Puga compete against Richard Linklater? Or a documentary about...
