A 14-year-old is obliged to stay at her grandparents’ lake home after her impulsive mom elopes and prioritizes her new husband. At the competitive music camp across the water, a determined young violinist pushes himself to be named first chair, sacrificing the personal connections he covets more. Meanwhile, at the local bar, a fisherman finds an unlikely ally in catching the whopper that’ll change his life. And finally, at a family-run bed-and-breakfast, two sisters make the most of their summer before the older one heads off to college.

The location, rather than the characters or their independent narrative strands, serves to unify the four sketches that comprise “Sunfish and Other Stories on Green Lake.” Set in writer-director Sierra Falconer’s old stomping grounds — among the cozy, neighborly community that surrounds a scenic lake in northern Michigan — the pleasantly laconic anthology film debuted in U.S. dramatic competition at Sundance.

The great frustration with anthology films — and the reason I sink a little deeper into my seat every time I sit down to watch a new one — is that even the best of them tend to be wildly uneven, the whole seldom greater than the sum of a few select parts. Enter: Sierra Falconer’s light and languid “Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake),” a collection of wistfully effervescent vignettes that resists the usual highs and lows of its format by drawing a gentle power from the stillness of the water that runs through it.

Indeed, the four short episodes that form this affecting debut flow together so fluidly, the camera passing its focus between them like a baton, that it might have been hard to know where one ends and the next begins if not for the title cards that “Sunfish” includes for context. Where most anthologies spotlight each...

The opening moments of Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake) are pictures of idyll. Ducks bob in a row across the water. A basketball hoop stands surrounded by trees, waiting for someone to come out and play. A girl swings lazily in a hammock. Especially at a time when it so often feels like the world is burning down (maybe literally, depending on where you are), the scenes feel like a much-needed break.

But if Sunfish is a vacation, it’s the kind that’s less about escaping into a fantasy than about trying on a different reality: learning your way around the terrain, getting to know the locals, falling into their everyday rhythms. Once it’s over, you’ll resume your normal life to find not much has changed. For those 87 minutes, though, it’s just nice to get to drop in on its world.

Overly precious punctuation notwithstanding,...

Filmmaker Sierra Falconer’s Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake) captures a bittersweet feeling. That feeling of endings and beginnings, happening at the same time. For eighty minutes, we watch four short stories unfold in and around Green Lake. One involves a young girl (Maren Heary) learning how to sail after being dumped at the doorstep of her grandparents’ lake house by her neglectful mother. Another concerns a young boy (Jim Kaplan) at the fancy summer camp on the other side of the lake. He’s facing intense pressure from his mother to make first chair violin in the camp orchestra. An extended sequence of him practicing is particularly tense. The third story features an overworked young mother (Karsten Liotta) seduced by adventure in the form of a charming, wayward bar patron (Dominic Bogart) and a once-in-a-lifetime fish to be caught. Finally, there’s the lovely tale of two sisters...

Director Sierra Falconer, whose debut feature will premiere next week at the Sundance Film Festival, has signed for representation at WME.

The UCLA grad’s “Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake)” was selected for the U.S. dramatic competition at the 41st edition of the Utah cinema confab founded by Robert Redford. The film weaves together four interconnected tales unfolding over one summer around an idyllic lake in Northern Michigan.

“I grew up spending summers on Green Lake in rural, northern Michigan, and from the start, I knew my first film had to be a portrait of this special place,” Falconer tells Variety, adding that her film “captures small but significant moments of connection, framed by a shared sense of belonging.”

Narrative threads in “Sunfish” include a young girl bonding with her grandparents through sailing and two sisters savoring their last days running a bed-and-breakfast together. The festival bills the...

American Primeval episode 6, the series finale, begins shortly after the events of episode 5. Virgil (Jai Courtney) and the bounty hunters finally caught up with Sara (Betty Gilpin). Virgil ties her up on a horse and heads for Fort Bridger, trying to put as much distance between themselves and Isaac (Taylor Kitsch) as possible.

Elsewhere, Abish (Saura Lightfoot-Leon) has convinced Red Feather (Derek Hinkey) and the Shoshone that the Mormons led by Wild Bill (Alex Breaux) and James Wolsey (Joe Tippett) will not stop looking for her until she is killed. At this point, she is the only remaining survivor from the attack that they know about. She's the one who could pin the attack on Brigham Young's forces, so they need to eliminate her. After they wiped out the US Army forces, they'll be heading to the Shoshone next.

American Primeval raises the stakes in episode 4! Halfway through the season, the main storylines continue to converge. War is coming to the West, and it's just a matter of time before the shooting begins.

American Primeval episode 4 begins shortly after the events of episode 3. Sara (Betty Gilpin) and Isaac (Taylor Kitsch) continue their trek through the snowy mountains as they make for Crooks Springs while bounty hunters follow. Elsewhere, Brigham Young (Kim Coates) and his Mormons continue to carve out space to practice their religion by force. Abish (Saura Lightfoot-Leon) begins to settle in and understand the Shoshone.

Bridger clashes with Brigham Young again

At Fort Bridger, Brigham Young (Kim Coates) continues his pursuit of the fort by getting into some hijinks with Jim Bridger (Shea Whigham) and his pigs. Wild Bill (Alex Breaux) tries to buy Bridger's pigs, Bridger isn't about to let that happen. He nearly chops off Bill's foot with a shovel.

American Primeval episode 3 continues the cat-and-mouse game between Sara (Betty Gilpin), Devin (Preston Mota), Two Moons (Shawnee Pourier), and Isaac (Taylor Kitsch) and those pursuing them.

The third episode slows the pace down a tad as the different groups move around the region, setting up many battles to come between Brigham Young and the Mormons, Jim Bridger of Fort Bridger, Red Feather and the Shoshone people, Sara and Isaac's group, and Virgil's band of outlaws.

After Isaac takes out a camp and steals their horses at the end of episode 2, the party continues their way toward Crooks Springs, but Virgin (Jai Courtney) and his outlaws are close behind.

The group camps along the river, and we learn that Devin's father doesn't know that they are coming.

Netflix has revealed a new, mature-rated trailer for its American Primeval series, a Western premiering on January 9, 2025. All six one-hour episodes will be available at launch.

The series comes from director/executive producer Pete Berg (Friday Night Lights), writer/creator/executive producer Mark L. Smith (The Revenant), and executive producers Eric Newman (Griselda) and Alex Gayner.

This is America…1857. Up is down, pain is everywhere, and innocence and tranquility are losing the battle to hatred and fear. Peace is the shrinking minority, and very few possess grace — even fewer know compassion.

There is no safe haven in these brutal lands; one goal matters: survival. American Primeval is a fictionalized dramatization and examination of the violent collision of culture, religion, and community as men and women fight and die to keep or control this land.

“Why do you people have so much hunger to kill?”

That’s one of the more pertinent questions asked in the official trailer for American Primeval, the Pete Berg-directed series for Netflix about life in the American West in 1857.

Written by Mark L. Smith (The Revenant), the drama promises to show how “pain is everywhere” and “innocence and tranquility are losing the battle to hatred and fear.” The six-episode limited series that is a fictionalized dramatization and examination of the violent collision of culture, religion, and community in the old west will debut Jan. 9.

American Primeval stars Taylor Kitsch, Betty Gilpin, Dane DeHaan, Saura Lightfoot-Leon, Derek Hinkey, Joe Tippett, Jai Courtney, Preston Mota, Shawnee Pourier, and Shea Whigham.

Sundance, as ever, is coming, and fast. Today, the nonprofit Sundance Institute announced the 87 feature films and six episodic projects selected for the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, with more announcements expected in the coming weeks.

This year’s fest features the latest projects from Oscar winners, studio filmmakers, and indie stalwarts like Justin Lin, Ira Sachs, Barry Levinson, and Questlove while the U.S. Dramatic Competition section is made of selections from directors new to the Park City fest.

“The combination of these new voices and some of these filmmakers who might be more household names, speaks to the the power of independent cinema and how, no matter where you are in your career, you are drawn to this community that Sundance has helped build over the years,” Sundance director of programming Kim Yutani told The Hollywood Reporter. Of the 87 feature films announced thus far, 36 titles (41 percent) are directed by first-time feature film directors.

Today’s film is the 2007 short Deacon’s Mondays. The film stars Dominic Bogart and Jane Evans, and is written and directed by the duo of Lowell Frank and Destin Cretton. Cretton turned some heads in the critical community in 2012 with his debut full-length feature I am not a Hipster, before garnering wider critical acclaim at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival with his new feature Short Term 12. The movie, which Cretton wrote and directed, and which stars Brie Larson and Kaitlyn Dever, opens in wide release in American theatres this weekend.

Gee, let’s enter the mind of serial killer! Cause, you know, that worked out so well for Jennifer Lopez in “The Cell”. Nir Paniry’s “Extracted”, which hits VOD and selected theaters tomorrow, is working with a tad smaller budget than the Lopez film, or Nolan’s “Inception”, which it also has more than a little resemblance to. Still, it looks pretty interesting if you’re in a mood for a little mind-screw and don’t mind the lack of big-budget Hollywood gloss. A scientist invents a technique to enter people’s memories deep within their subconscious when their mind is at its most vulnerable state. When he is tasked with entering a convicted criminal’s mind to see whether he committed murder, he is faced with his most dangerous and risky memory extraction ever. Starring Sasha Roiz, Jenny Mollen, and Dominic Bogart. Get extracted this July 26th, 2013.

Watch a couple more clips from Nir Paniry's Extracted, starring Sasha Roiz, Jenny Mollen, Dominic Bogart and Richard Riehle.

This summer has seen cities demolished, landmarks destroyed and monsters rising out of the ocean, proving that Hollywood knows how to find massive backdrops for their blockbuster spectacles. But filmmakers of late have found an unlikelier location for thrills: the mind. Christopher Nolan dove deep with "Inception," Shane Carruth played in that territory with "Upstream Color" and even Pixar will delve into that area with 2015's "The Inside Out." Now, another film is also using the brain to spur some interesting narrative twists. Filmmaker Nir Paniry's "Extracted" stars Sasha Roiz, Jenny Mollen, Dominic Bogart and Richard Riehle and tells the story of a scientist who invents a technique to enter people's memories, and is tasked with entering a convicted criminal's mind to see whether he committed murder. Of course, he gets much more than he bargained for. In this exclusive clip, we see our characters preparing just as the...

Catch the first poster for the sci-fi thriller / horror Extracted directed by Nir Paniri. The film opens on via Phase 4 Films, and stars Jenny Mollen, Dominic Bogart and Richard Riehle. As far as the design of this poster goes, I think it's pretty well made and almost reminds of those spinal tubes on Keanu Reeves' back in The Matrix. In Extracted, a scientist invents a technique to enter people's memories deep within their subconscious when their mind is at its most vulnerable state. When he is tasked with entering a convicted criminal's mind to see whether he committed murder, he is faced with his most dangerous and risky memory extraction ever.

"I Am Not A Hipster" opens with indie rock darling Brooke Hyde (Dominic Bogart) bailing on the opening number of his show to puke up his one-too-many whiskey shots in the bathroom of the local venue, stranding his band onstage. Clearly this guy, while talented (from the little bit we get to hear of his song), is not just troubled, he's in a really bad place, a place beyond just the inner recesses of the local dive's porcelain. Despite it's too clever title, "I Am Not A Hipster" is more than just a lampooning of the hipster scene of Anywhere, USA, which in this case is San Diego. It's a deep dive into the effects of grief on the creative process, on the strength of family ties and how easily they can be lost, and what it can mean to be recognized for your work. These are all things that Brooke,...
