"Vibrant, funny, and subversive." Remember all those movies you were obsessed with in high school? All those classic teenage comedies, coming-of-age dramas, telling stories of high school burn outs and maligned prom queens. Young filmmaker Charlie Lyne made a documentary called Beyond Clueless, presenting a "PhD on the history of high school cinema" featuring a "moody and evocative score" by the band Summer Camp, which can be heard briefly in the trailer. Our friends at Empire have unveiled the first poster and it caught our eye. For marketing made up entirely with their own material, no footage, this is excellent work. I'm very curious to check out the doc and many will likely feel the same after taking a look at the film below.

Below you'll find part I of a podcast I did with Noah Buschel, the director of The Missing Person, Neal Cassady, and Bringing Rain. This was a very candid discussion that went on for several hours, but you do not need to have seen his films to understand the talk. Mostly, this is a primer for filmmakers about how to scale the independent film walls, from the script process, to selling, to dealing with producers, festivals, etc.And Noah would know more about this subject than almost any filmmaker because his three films were made in 3 entirely different markets, since the indie film...

Noah Buschel's work includes the award winning film “Neal Cassady” staring Tate Donovan and Amy Ryan and "Bringing Rain,” which stars a pre-“Entourage” Adrian Grenier. Buschel talks with MakingOf about his experience putting together a film crew by maintaining a network of hard workers who love film. He also talks about the challenges of film festivals and his experiences at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. On the subject of his new film “The Missing Person,” Buschel opens up about creating a film noir story that was both a reflection of how he coped with the tragedy of 9/11 and a throwback to his life growing up in New York.

We haven't had a new "worth watching" trailer for quite a while and that's because there hasn't been that much worth watching. Today I finally have something worth pointing out, and it's a trailer for an upcoming Sundance movie called The Missing Person. If you love mysteries, or film noir, or movies about private investigators, stop what you're doing and watch this now. Michael Shannon stars as private investigator John Rosow who is hired to tail a man on a train from Chicago to Los Angeles. This looks pretty spectacular, like one of those indie gems that won't go far but will nestle its way into the hearts of critics everywhere.
