October 2016 Fan Fiction Short Film Winner

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK VIDEO of the FAN FICTION Short Film:

  MOVIE POSTERBACK TO THE FUTURE?, 10min., USA, Comedy/Sci-Fi
Directed by Kyle Chen

Marty convinces Doc to go back to October 21, 2015 and when they arrive in current day they are shocked and disappointed. Everyone they see is obsessed with their cell phones and none of the cool inventions they remember from the previous trip to 2015 exist. They decide to leave this sad parallel universe.

Main Cast: Jeffrey Weissman
Actor/Doc Brown

Jeffrey Weissman has been performing as an actor since taking to the stage in 1972. He started in film in 1977, Jeffrey has costarred in dozens of film and television productions. He had been screen testing for leads in various films during the early 1980’s, and landed his first costar role in 1982 in George Miller’s “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet” episode of Twilight Zone the Movie. Jeffrey is best known for playing Teddy Conway in Clint Eastwood ‘s Pale Rider (1985) and taking over the George McFly role in the “Back to the Future” sequels. His recent working indie films have garnered him raves from his comedic turn in “corked!” as an OCD winemaker, and his dramatic work in several features.

Logan Wildey
Producer and Actor/Marty McFly

I’ve always loved film. Watching it, creating it, getting friends to help make it with me. “Back to the Future?” is the perfect example of me telling my 12 year old self that dreams really do come true. I fell in love with the trilogy at 12. I used to wonder what kind of person I would be when I was 32 because I knew that was the age I would be when Marty and Doc went to the future. I was lucky enough to get a lot of help from a lot of people to help make this final product possible. Although there were many people that didn’t think it could be done, my coproducer Jen Floor Mathews never doubted it for a second. She was the driver that kept this dream alive.

Main Crew:

Jen Floor Mathews
Producer/ Cell phone dropper

Jen Floor Mathews is a Silicon Valley actor who began taking Improv classes after finally completing a PhD in Psychology. Tired of auditioning to play a mother to interesting characters she began screenwriting in earnest. She now is an award winning producer and still auditions to play the role of “Mother” in other people’s films about young white people in their 20s. She is also employed by Dinner Detective in San Jose.

Later he furthur his film study in the Academy of Art University, San Francisco majoring in Cinematography and visual storytelling. Through numerous filmmaking experiences, Yuito’s curiosity over filmmaking process has endowed him forward to learn and push boundaries of both the conventional and his unique style of his visual storytelling

Matthew McClelland
Director of Photography

I have been doing video production and other media related tasks for 6 years now. I started out making videos when I was Senior in High School and then I attended the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where I received my Bachelors of Science Degree with a major in Communications Media. Since then I have been striving to become the best story teller that I can be. Whether that is with filmmaking, photography, graphic design, web design or music. After graduating college, I decided to move out to California to pursue bigger dreams.

Get to know Editor Valerio Bonelli (The Martian, Philomena)

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

Read the FULL INTERVIEW on http://www.MatthewToffolo.com

– If you’re interested in storytelling, this is the interview for you. Editor Valerio Bonelli has edited over 30 films in the last 20 years, working with some of the top directors, including many collaborations with Ridley Scott (The Martian, Black Hawk Down, Hannibal, and the Oscar winner Gladiator), and Stephen Frears (Philomena, The Program). In this interview, he gives a lot of amazing insight on the art of editing a feature film and what it takes to succeed in Hollywood.

Transcript from Interview:

Every film I work on somehow added something to my knowledge as an editor and as a person. Each film is different even if you work with the same director, but I can say that there are few films that have stayed with me for one reason or another. Recently I’ve cut a documentary feature called “Palio”, this film was particularly…

Read best of NEW Movie Reviews

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

Best of Hollywood and Indy Movie Reviews from around the word. CLICK the links and read the reviews. 

Film Review: TROLLS (USA 2016) ***

The new Dreamworks animation released by 20th Century Fox, TROLLS is a happy enough 3D computer-animated musical buddy comedy film based on the dolls of the same name created by Dane Thomas Dam way back in 1959.

Film Review: DOCTOR STRANGE (USA 2016) ***

The Marvel superhero DOCTOR STRANGE gets his first debut on the big screen complete with 3D. Though the character has appeared in a TV movie and animated film before, he is given a fresh treatment which is a good thing considering that there are already too many super hero action movies each year.

HACKSAW RIDGE (USA/Australia 2016) ***** Top 10

After about a decade absence from the director’s chair (his last film was the misunderstood APOCALYPTO in 2006), the director of BRAVEHEART and THE PASSION…

Today’s FilmFreeway: Submit to the Action/Adventure Film & Screenplay Festival

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

I got my appraisal and it was possibly the best I have ever received, not because it was good or complimentary, but because they had obviously read it, and I mean completely and they properly criticized it! So their comments were not only ‘left of field’, but they were an accurate observation and they actually improved the script, not matter how hard they were to swallow. It was so worthwhile it was worth the price of entry just to get that feedback.
