Stage 32 brings social networking to film, television and theatre creatives
Tuesday July 10th 2012A new social media network has been gaining members steadily over the past eight months, and it has done so almost solely by word of mouth. While new social media platforms spring up everyday, very few are successful and even less have something unique to offer their users, but this one could well revolutionize independent filmmaking. Stage 32, named after the famous paramount stage lot on which Orson Wells shot Citizen Kane, is a social media site dedicated specifically to people working in film or theatre. Wells relied on a group of creative people he had already collaborated with in the past, the mercury players, to help make his first film and with stage32 the idea remains the same – the site helps filmmakers and theatre people of all levels meet other like-minded, creative souls in order to collaborate on projects and get them made.

Telefilm cheers box office boost for Canadian films
Thursday July 05th 2012Domestic box office receipts of Canadian films rose by 11.6 per cent in 2011, buoyed by the success of movies like Starbuck, Barney’s Version, Incendies and Monsieur Lazhar, according to Telefilm Canada. In a report released Wednesday, the federal film funding agency said Canadian films are achieving greater success both at home and abroad. The relatively new success index that Telefilm uses as a measurement tool shows a big improvement in box office, TV and DVD sales, but slightly less attention for Canadian productions at film festivals or from private sector funders. Total domestic box office receipts totalled $27.5 million, up from $24.6 million in 2010.

Thursday July 05th 20123D International Media Partners has announced an agreement with McGill-Queen’s University Press for the worldwide theatrical and television rights for the book, Phoenix: The Life of Norman Bethune.
