Andy Goldenberg, the comedic mind behind zombie rom com BAD TIMING, presents FOOT TRAFFIC, the short (3 minutes is all it takes to do an excellently satirical job) tale about a world in which you need Walker’s Insurance to, well, walk.
FOOT TRAFFIC is 1 of the Top 4 Finalists in the Mobile Film Category of the 2nd Annual AT&T Shape Film Festival and Andy needs OUR votes to win the grand prize.
This TVWriter™ minion got a good solid chuckle out of this very well done three-minute short, and we think you will too.

How Canadian-made artificial intelligence is helping Hollywood write better scripts
by Dianne Buckner
Movie theatres, as usual, are jam-packed with sequels this summer.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Dead Men does some amazing things. It began as the most intense web series we at TVWriter™ had ever seen. And now it’s a film. As they used to say back in the ’30s, when westerns were considered “easy” to shoot – now they’re anything but – “Read all about it!”

David Lynch: ‘You gotta be selfish. It’s a terrible thing’
Alternate Title: “Why You Should Admire David Lynch But Not Like Him.” But the truth is that everybody we know who has worked with Mr. Lynch or hung with him or whatever likes him. A lot. Seems selfishness isn’t always what it seems:

David Lynch seldom smiles in photographs. His etched Easter Island statue
of a face doesn’t glower so much as brood; lips pursed and eyes hooded, he looks every inch the auteur in winter. The quiff completes the effect, its lush swirl seemingly frozen in place by alarming, Lynchian thoughts.
In his 40 years of film-making, the director has taken audiences from sunlit American idylls to surreal dimensions populated by demons, doppelgangers and psychotic killers. His are scenes you can’t forget: the whimpering, deformed baby in Eraserhead, the severed ear in Blue Velvet, the blood-spattered, skull-crushing violence of Wild At Heart, the nuclear explosion in Twin Peaks: The Return. Google “David Lynch creepy”, and you get 5.5m results.
