David Michôd talks Sundance success
8 December 2009 2:49 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
The man with the most famous circumflex in Australian filmmaking - and the bane of sub-editors everywhere - David Michôd, bounced back into headlines again last week with the news that not one - but two - of his feature films have been accepted into Official Competition at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
Yes, that's right - both Michôd's feature directorial debut Animal Kingdom, a gangland movie set in the Melbourne criminal underworld, and Hesher, the Joseph Gordon-Levitt-starring independent Us feature he co-wrote with director Spencer Susser, will screen at the Park City alpine festival in January.
Michôd first sprang to international attention after practically taking over the short film circuit in 2008 when Crossbow (which he wrote and directed) premiered at Sundance along with two other shorts he co-wrote, Nash Edgerton's Spider, and Spencer Susser's zombie film I Love Sarah Jane.
In 2009, the festival also screened another of his short films, »
The Blacklist Film Festival IV
12 August 2009 9:54 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Referring to a Blacklist invokes a time when American filmmakers were barred from work in Hollywood. Filmmaker Jeff Speed (previously featured here) named The Blacklist Art and Film Festival in defiant pride of his status as a Hollywood outsider.
“I want to get people away from the mainstream culture, rinse their brains off from the crap that they see everyday,” says Speed emphatically. The annual festival, based in South Lake Tahoe, California and celebrating its fourth year, is programmed by Speed as an attempt to “support unapologetic creativity,” showcasing films, art and music he describes as “original, raw, fearless and non-commercial. There is nothing jammed down your throat by Hollywood.” The exhibition starts on August 14th with the art and films, and ends on the 15th with the after-party and awards, though those imagining a stuffy banquet hall and stilted acceptance speeches should notice a band called Catch Hell accompanying the festivities. »

Nash Edgerton Takes A Tour Of Stunt City
27 July 2009 9:28 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
We don’t often feature television commercials in these pages but this one is just too good to pass up. Directed by Ivan Zacharias for Rexona, Stunt City features Australian stunt man Nash Edgerton - who has since turned director and producer and with his brother Joel is involved in a ridiculously high percentage of the better stuff coming out of Australia these days - in a city populated entirely by stunt men. The morning commute is just brilliant. Check it out below the break.

Super Shorts: Spider
20 July 2009 5:46 AM, PDT | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »
Nash Edgerton: this guy is one to watch, for sure. Starting out as a stuntman for the Star Wars series (the double of Ewan McGregor, apparently), he's also been an actor, writer, editor. He's a noted music video director: his latest work, 'Beyond Here Lies Nothing,' for Bob Dylan, features a man and a woman stylishly fighting each other (er, to say the least). His feature, The Square, set for release this fall in America, is a twisty take on noir in the vein of A Simple Plan or Blood Simple, a route that isn't surprising considering the nasty little pleasures in this Australian short. It does Spider a disservice to write too much about it, so, start watching! We'll see whether you're surprised or horrified. Although, can we recommend, perhaps, not dating the guy? His artistic output so far may imply that he's not the greatest boyfriend. »

A Fighting Chance
9 June 2009 5:34 PM, PDT | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
Pitchfork has launched a new column called "Director's Cut," in which video directors talk about their latest clips. Their most recent installment features the Australian director Nash Edgerton, whose short film Spider was one of my favorites at Sundance last year and whose music videos I've long been a fan of. His latest is for Bob Dylan's "Beyond Here Lies Nothin," and it's characteristically intense and violent, riffing, perhaps, on the infamous motel room scene in True Romance. In the interview, Edgerton says he never met Dylan and got a call offering him the video but he could only listen to the song once over the phone. The clip is embedded below and click on the link above for the interview with Edgerton. (Note: violent content.) »

The Young Person's Guide To Nash Edgerton
8 June 2009 5:01 PM, PDT | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
Below I posted Nash Edgerton's new Bob Dylan video and a couple of people told me they didn't know much about his work. So, here's a primer: First, his bio from the The Directors Bureau: Nash Edgerton knows his craft from both sides of the camera from his work as an actor, stunt performer, editor, producer, writer, and director. Since his short Deadline, which took out the top prize at Tropfest in 1997, Nash has directed a number of award-winning short films, music videos and commercials. The action packed trailer for Tropfest called The Pitch was followed by the horror thriller Fuel, the stunt-driven Lucky and the twisted drama Spider, all shorts that screened to acclaim locally and abroad at festivals including Sundance, Berlin, »

Foreign Objects: The Square
3 June 2009 7:58 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Foreign Objects travels the world of international cinema each week to look for films worth visiting. So renew your passport, get your shots, and brush up on the local age of legal consent, this week we’re heading to… Australia! If and when we see the inevitable Hollywood remake of the recent Australian thriller The Square, I fully expect two immediate changes. The lead character's name will be changed from Ray Yale to Ray Murphy, and the title will changed to Murphy's Law. This has as much to do with Hollywood's pronounced lack of subtlety as it does the fact that poor Ray Yale gets fucked repeatedly by that age old axiom over the course of the film. Ray's (David Roberts) life seems pretty straightforward at first. He runs a small but busy construction company, he's married, and he has a sexy girlfriend named Carla (Claire van der Boom) on the side. This »

The IFC Premiere of Bob Dylan's "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'" Video
13 May 2009 8:05 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Director Nash Edgerton's "short film" version of Bob Dylan's single "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'" debuted nationally at 10:15 Tuesday night on cable's IFC and the ifc.com website. Starring Amanda Aardsma and Joel Stoffer, it's a disturbing, somewhat realistic depiction of what could be the most abusive relationship in all of music videodom -- complete with a stabbing, a beating that draws blood and pronounced physical bruises, and a car assault on Stoffer by a vengeful Aardsma. It's an unflinching parade of violence (or the playing out of an abduction and escape, your choice) that serves as the backdrop to Dylan's sobering lyrics, and Edgerton's vision is an extremely wild interpretation -- if it even is one -- of the song's message. The debate will be on whether or not this video is an artful, gritty, jitter-camera'd study of domestic violence, »

SXSW in 60 Seconds: Friday, March 13, 2009
14 March 2009 7:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Cold winds and torrential rainfall did not dampen the spirits of attendees on the first day of SXSW in Austin, Texas. Cinematical writers traveled from near and far to cover the annual celebration and eat some barbecue. It's only my second SXSW experience, but seeing so many writers, film critics, and bloggers whose work I read and respect has inspired me to quit the business. No, no, I meant to say: it's cool seeing so many Twitterers in person.
Good Buzz: The film festival proper got underway with some serious man love, as the opening night presentation of John Hamburg's bro-mantic comedy I Love You, Man was unveiled at the historic Paramount Theater, with stars Paul Rudd and Jason Segel among hundreds in attendance. Simultaneously, a slew of films began screening at other venues; William Goss said Nash Edgerton's Australian thriller The Square was unexpectedly good, I heard »

1 February 2009 9:12 PM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
SXSW is one of my favorite festivals of the year as it showcases some of the best and most innovative real independent films, and with this host of world premiers, it's also playing alot of Sundance material as well as genre fare from all over the world, many of which we've covered heavily in these pages.
From the Sundance lineup, we have films like Moon, The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle, You Won't Miss Me, Grace, and Humpday, among others.
For the world genre material we've covered, there's Lake Mungo, The Square, Zift, and Awaydays.
I think you get the point that lots of great looking film will be playing. I'll leave a bit of the exploration to you..
Lineup after the break.
