Ben Baudhuin-Edited Trailer to TIFF Film "MIDWAY"


Our good friend Ben Baudhuin (who brilliantly edited 10 Commandments of Chloe) recently edited the trailer to the documentary MIDWAY, which premieres at TIFF.

Renowned photo-based artist Chris Jordan's feature debut focuses on the albatrosses who inhabit the remote Midway Atoll island, nesting amidst machinery abandoned after World War II.

Matt Adam's We Cause Scenes



Check out our friend Matt Adam's impressive film that premiered at SXSW (as well as Hot Docs) this year!

We Cause Scenes: The Rise of Improv Everywhere

Since their humble beginnings in New York City in 2001, Improv Everywhere has grown from a small gang of restless jokesters into an internationally recognized prank collective and a viral video-making machine. From the No Pants Subway Ride to Frozen Grand Central to the MP3 Experiment and beyond, their publicly staged scenes of chaos and joy are beloved by the hundreds who witness them, the thousands who participate in them, and the millions who watch and share the videos online. We Cause Scenes: The Rise of Improv Everywhere is the inside story of this groundbreaking group and its founder, Charlie Todd, who has turned the world into a stage, inventing an art form for the Internet age.

Local Filmmakers Making International Waves

Married filmmakers Ashley Sabin & David Redmond are making a name for themselves under the title of their production company, Carnivalesque Films, where they produce stories united by the raw and startling sensibilities of transgression, spectacle, and variations of fiction and nonfiction.

 

Their latest documentary, Night Labor, premiering at the Visions of Reality International Film Festival, follows a forty-six year old 6'6" Downeaster during his transition from an independent and rugged clam digger by day to manning a factory at night.

Their award-winning film, Girl Model (2011), showed at dozens of film festivals around the world and continues to screen on campuses and in communities throughout the country.

Having completed a total of 8 feature-length documentaries, Carnivalesque has screened their films in Sundance, SXSW, Toronto, Tribeca, Hot Docs, Human Rights Watch, IDFA, CPH: DOX, Rome, and the Museum of Modern Art. The Sundance Channel, Documentary Channel, Link TV, Free Speech TV, NHK, Current, Scandinavian, New Zealand, European, Middle Eastern, and Australian television stations have broadcast their films.

Night Labor will screen at the Visions of Reality International Film Festival in Nyon, Switzerland, April 19-26, 2013.  To learn more about Carnivalesque Films, visit http://carnivalesquefilms.com/
