After two seasons of working on a webseries called The Slope, I’m onto my first feature film. So far I’ve learnt that making a film is a lot like making a webseries, only it takes several years longer, costs 100 thousand times more and every time you have an idea you have to run it by 20 people until you eventually decide to cut it all together.
Short content for the web is especially fun because it has that instant gratification that comes with sharing content with an audience so quickly. A film, not so much. That’s why I thought that blogging for AfterEllen.com about the experience would be a natural solution to this creative constipation.
The film is called Disposable Lovers. It’s a gay Annie Hall that picks up where The Slope left off, with my character rebounding from the heartbreak of a lifetime.

I don't dismiss the value of remakes out of hand. I don't declare them to be the end of civilization as we know it (as some are inclined to do) or screech endlessly about Hollywood's lack of creativity.
After all, there are numerous examples of remakes that found fresh, compelling things to say with once or even oft told material. From Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear to Baz Luhrmann's take on Romeo + Juliet to last years' Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, successful remakes bring an unusual perspective to characters we thought we knew or become enlivened by lifting something hidden in the subtext and transporting it to the fore with purpose and storytelling urgency.
So when it was announced that Lifetime TV would remake the much-loved and admired Steel Magnolias, this time with super producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan (Chicago, Hairspray) at the helm and an all-African-American cast (including...

When Lifetime announced its plan to remake the 1989 cult classic Steel Magnolias, the internet's collective groan was stopped short by the list of names attached to the project: Queen Latifah, Phylicia Rashad, Alfre Woodard, Jill Scott. Female-centric films focused on a group of women over the age of 40 are practically extinct in Hollywood these days. Toss in an all-African-American cast, and you're approaching mythological unicorn territory. So I'm happy to report that while the updated version of the southern classic isn't quite as magical as the original, it is a warm, sentimental, whole-box-of-Kleenex emotion-fest of deep-fried proportions.

Writer Sally Robinson and director Kenny Leon have updated Robert Harling's Steel Magnolias screenplay to include modern references (Michelle Obama gets a shout-out), modern hairstyles, and modern medicine, but the basic story remains the same. On the day before her wedding,...

Let's get the urgent concern out of the way first: Are we Ok with the idea of Lifetime's Steel Magnolias remake? I'm on the fence, but I love Phylicia Rashad, Jill Scott, and mesmerizing newcomer Adepero Oduye. That's the good news. The downside is that a Lifetime remake may expose Steel Magnolias for what it really is: a Lifetime movie at heart.
As much as the lovable 1989 tearjerker comes up in conversation (which is mysteriously a lot, at least for me), it's a slight movie with a plot suitable for the network that brought you She's Too Young and every gymnast biopic featuring a traumatizing uneven bars scene. But that's also Steel Magnolias' charm; though it's a calculated, star-studded weep machine, it's also completely embraceable (and quotable!) on those terms. Here are the reasons it may be The best movie ever.
1. Everyone has a Steel Magnolia spirit animal.
This is so important.
