Sandy Collora, the talented filmmaker and artist who has brought us the sci-fi film Hunter Prey and the legendary fan film Batman Dead End has an awesome new short film he's directed called Shallow Water.
This is an original creature feature production has been a passion project of the filmmaker for years. After years of pressing forward and never giving up, he finally managed to raise the money he needed to develop it through a Kickstarter campaign that he launched.
I’ve been a fan of Collora’s work since I first saw Batman Dead End at a time when fan films and the internet were in their infancy. Over the years I’ve followed his career, and Shallow Water might just be one of his greatest accomplishments.
I had the opportunity to watch an early screening of Shallow Water, and I freakin’ loved it! I watch a lot of short films,...

A petition drive is underway to save the the film and TV tax credit established by then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger two years ago. Uptake of the program, which was intended to provide $100 million annually for qualified productions and was originally funded for five years, has been so aggressive, the credit will be out of money by 2013. Cinematographer Ed Gutentag has established the petition on Change.org to provide additional funding for the program, as well as extend it beyond its 2014 expiration.

With its state and local governments hauling huge debts around and its heritage industry scattering to the wind, Los Angeles has looked unnervingly Detroit-like lately.The number of on-location film production days in the L.A. area declined from 7,096 in 2008 to 4,976 in 2009, according to FilmL.A., the private company that issues film permits for the city and most of Los Angeles County. Over the same period, television production days dropped from 19,100 to 15,933. Overall, the number of shooting days for film, TV, commercials, music videos, and other types of production fell from 47,117 in 2008 to 37,979 the next year.In such a climate, any good news is welcome. Folks who have been working to keep cameras rolling in Hollywood finally received some on March 31, when FilmL.A. reported that overall on-location shooting in the area had risen by 25 percent in 2010 from the same time last year. Los Angeles City Council member Paul Krekorian...

SAG and the AMPTP ended their second day of talks at about 10:00 p.m. this evening (Weds.), but will resume tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. for a third, previously unannounced day of talks, said a source. No other info was available on the progress of negotiations, but this is obviously a hopeful sign in a situation that's been largely devoid of them until the last 30 days.
Negotiations had resumed Tuesday, accompanied by dueling protests, one from an organization of below-the-liners calling itself Back to Work, organized largely by camera operators Jon Philion and Andrew Rowlands and cinematographers Ed Gutentag and Bruce McCleery, and the other from Membership First. BtW was urging a deal, while Mf was protesting the likelihood that the talks would result in what they consider an unacceptable deal. There were about 100 protesters in all, reports Variety.
The next day, about 50 Mf protesters showed up, Variety indicates.

Over 100 crew members and others rallied in front of SAG HQ in La today, urging the union and the studios to make a deal. The rally, organized largely by camera operators Jon Philion and Andrew Rowlands and cinematographers Ed Gutentag and Bruce McCleery under the rubric “Back to Work,” was joined by another gathering consisting of several dozen Membership First supporters, who protested what they anticipate will be an unpalatable deal.
That protest, whose ranks included Scott Wilson and David Clennon, took place even though negotiations have not yet recommenced, let alone a deal negotiated. Back to Work and Mf have indicated they both intend to rally again next Tuesday, Feb. 17th at the AMPTP (studio alliance), when talks are widely expected to start.
In other SAG news, ousted (and re-ousted) National Executive Director Doug Allen is back, not in person, but in the form of an “open letter” supporting SAG President Alan Rosenberg.
