  • “The Happytime Murders” by Helen Lutz
    “The Happytime Murders” By Helen Lutz As we go along the journey of life, we find many things which just shouldn’t be but happen every day. The anonymous bullying of a school child – shouldn’t be, but is. Guns freely being made on 3-D printers – shouldn’t be, but are. Muppets spouting profanities and having raucous sex – shouldn’t be, but is in the new movie “The Happytime Murders.” Los Angeles – sometime in the future ... People co-exist with puppets, however, puppets are definitely second class citizens. Phil Phillips, a blue skinned, chimney smoking, alcoholic private investigator puppet (Bill Barretta) opens the movie with an old Jack Webb “Dragnet” style narration of another day in the city. Phillips, the only puppet to have once been a police officer, now works various puppet cases after being part of a fatal mishap. Approached by a seductive Sandra puppet hoping that Phil will take her mysterious, nymphomania case, leads Phil to a puppet porn shop (it would be nice to un-see the action between the cow and octopus). A robbery gone wrong while Phil is in the back looking at store files, leads to a deadly scene – stuffing everywhere – enter the police and Phil’s old partner Detective Connie Edwards (Melissa McCarthy). There’s obviously no love lost between the two. Phil knows the owner of the puppet sex shop from the good old days when he starred with Phil’s brother in a popular 80’s kids’ show “The Happytime Gang.” Life after the show has gone downhill for most of the cast.

With an early lead in feature film production, California has historically been home to the greatest concentration of film industry talent in the U.S., as well as an extensive web of ancillary products, infrastructure and services. But these days, California has competition. Production centers across the globe offer U.S. production companies an enticing combination of film incentives, a skilled workforce and available infrastructure. As a result, U.S. feature films are made all over the world. Among the unique advantages that the film industry provides to local economies are: 1. It is a high-wage industry. A recent report commissioned by the County of Los Angeles revealed that the average wage in the Film and Digital Media Industry in Los Angeles County is $117,000, which is 95 percent higher compared to the county-wide average of $59,900.1 2.

  • Portabledoor Project
    Synopsis Paul Carpenter is a new intern at the mysterious London firm J.W. Wells & Co. Sure, Paul is grateful to have a stable job at a respectable and worldwide company, however, he and Sophie, Paul’s hate-at-first-sight love interest, become steadily aware that their employers are anything but conventional. Initially they notice just little peculiarities, like the extremely peculiar receptionist, a long stapler moving on its own, or those bizarre artifacts in the company’s basement (such as several contracts for people’s souls and a Portable Door!) But when goblins take over at the office after-hours, it’s pretty much confirmed that J.W. Wells & Co. is into a bit more magic than mediation. Harry Potter meets The Office. Genre: Comedy/Fantasy/Adventure Live Action Feature Film Anticipated Rating: PG Tagline: Paul Carpenter, an intern at the mysterious London firm J.W. Wells & Co., learns that his employer deals in magical transactions. Director’s Statement “The story explores what it is to be in your 20’s, searching for your place, discovering who you are as an adult, coming up against a world that is challenging you constantly. And a reminder that we all seek the pure joy of elevating the mundane to the magical. For this film, I’m looking to Kaufman pictures -Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind-films that fuse emotional impact and humour with a heightened world of fantasy and imagination. A certain carelessness with the camera that makes the wildness of what you’re seeing, more surprising.
