Ioncinema.com’s Ioncinephile of the Month feature focuses on an emerging filmmaker from the world of cinema. This August, we get to once again profile an American Independent filmmaker who had the wind blowing in his sails moments before he launched his micro-budgeted I Am Not a Hipster at Sundance in 2012. Before unleashing his sophomore film, the character-rich, emotionally textured Short Term 12 in March, Destin Daniel Cretton had won over the Sundance jury with the short film going by the same name (2009 Jury Prize in Short Filmmaking). Winner of the 2013 SXSW Film Festival Grand Jury Award (worth mentioning, of which I was a proud member of) and an Audience Award at a handful of fests since SXSW, its the folks at Cinedigm who’ll be launching the film in select theaters on August 23rd. Here is our profile on Destin Daniel Cretton and we’re lucky enough that...

For more than a decade, Seth MacFarlane has stretched the envelope of comedy about as far as it can go as the visionary behind the hit television shows Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show. Now he brings his boundary-pushing brand of humor to the big screen for the first time as writer, director, producer and voice star of Ted.
In the live-action/CG-animated comedy, MacFarlane tells the story of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg of The Other Guys, Contraband), a grown man whose simple childhood wish brought his cherished teddy bear to life. Almost 30 years later, the fairy tale is very much over. Ted is reluctant to leave John.s side.to the increasing annoyance of John.s only-so-patient girlfriend, Lori Collins (Mila Kunis of Friends With Benefits, Black Swan).
Though Lori.s displeasure with John is exacerbated by his dead-end career and days spent smoking weed and drinking beers with Ted,...
