Devastation Class

2021-10-01 Devastation Class Glen Zipper Elaine Mongeon Sophie Amoss Steven Barnett Product Details Format: CD-Audio ISBN: 9781662028694 Published: 17th Sep 2020 Publisher: Dreamscape Media Dimensions: 128 x 153 x 29mm Description The distant future. Earth's Alliance forces have emerged victorious from a brutal nine- year war with the mysterious Kastazi—a vicious, highly advanced alien race. In the dawn of a new peace, the Alliance Devastation Class starship California embarks on a mission of science and learning with a skeleton crew of seasoned officers, civilian students, and inexperienced military cadets in tow.For JD Marshall and Viv Nixon, gifted cadets and best friends, the mission holds special meaning: it offers an opportunity to prove themselves and begin to escape the long shadows of their legendary war-hero parents.Suddenly ambushed by a second wave of invading Kastazi forces, JD and Viv make the impossible decision to spearhead a mutiny to save the California and everyone on it. In command and quickly out of options, they are forced to activate the ship's prototype Blink Reactor—an experimental technology they expect to send them to the safe distant reaches of space. When their escape transports them to a reality they don't recognize and reveals unimaginably terrifying secrets, they must fight their way home to save not just everyone they love but also humanity itself. Standing in their way are an insurmountable enemy, saboteurs from within, a mystery eons in the making, and the fabric of time and space itself. Author Glen Zipper produced the Oscar-winning documentary Undefeated and the hit Netflix series Dogs. Born in New York City and raised in Fort Lee, New Jersey, he currently resides in Los Angeles, where he enjoys motorcycle riding and stopping to pet every dog he sees.

Alex Winter's assembly features appearances by Frank's widow Gail Zappa and several of Frank's musical collaborators including Mike Keneally, Ian Underwood, Steve Vai, Pamela Des Barres, Bunk Gardner, David Harrington, Scott Thunes, Ruth Underwood, Ray White and others. 49 west 27th street 7th floor new york, ny 10001 tel 212 924 6701 fax 212 924 6742 www.magpictures.com DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT – ALEX WINTER It seemed striking to me and producer Glen Zipper that there had yet to be a definitive, all-access documentary on the life and times of Frank Zappa. We set out to make that film, to tell a story that is not a music doc, or a conventional biopic, but the dramatic saga of a great American artist and thinker; a film that would set out to convey the scope of Zappa’s prodigious and varied creative output, and the breadth of his extraordinary personal and political life.

! Journey to the Academy Awards: A Decade of Race & Gender in Oscar-Shortlisted Documentaries (2008-2017) PRELIMINARY KEY FINDINGS Caty Borum Chattoo, Nesima Aberra, Michele Alexander, Chandler Green1 February 2017 In the Best Documentary Feature category of the Academy Awards, 2017 is a year of firsts. For the first time, four of the five Oscar-nominated documentary directors in the category are people of color (Roger Ross Williams, for Life, Animated; Ezra Edelman, for O.J.: Made in America; Ava DuVernay, for 13th; and Raoul Peck, for I Am Not Your Negro). In fact, 2017 reveals the largest percentage of Oscar-shortlisted documentary directors of color over at least the past decade. Almost a third (29%) of this year’s 17 credited Oscar-shortlisted documentary directors (in the Best Documentary Feature category) are people of color, up from 18 percent in 2016, none in 2015, and 17 percent in 2014. The percentage of recognized women documentary directors, while an increase from last year (24 percent of recognized shortlisted directors in 2017 are women, compared to 18 percent in 2016), remains at relatively the same low level of recognition over the past decade. In 2016, as a response to widespread criticism and negative media coverage, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences welcomed a record number of new members to become part of the voting class to bestow Academy Awards: 683 film professionals (46 percent women, 41 percent people of color) were invited in.2 According to the Academy, prior to this new 2016 class, its membership was 92 percent white and 75 percent male.3 To represent the documentary category, 42 new documentary creative professionals (directors and producers) were invited as new members.

Hamptons International Film Festival Catalog Ad Netflix: Congrats Full Page Non Bleed Ad: 7.5” X 9.75” from the Festival
8 -14 VIRTUAL & DRIVE-IN OCTOBER 2020 Blue Horizon Grid , 2018, Bastienne, 2018, Schmidt, bastienneschmidt.com PROGRAM GUIDE NETFLIX IS PROUD TO SUPPORT THE AND CONGRATULATES ALL OF THE FILMMAKERS OF THE FESTIVAL HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL CATALOG AD NETFLIX: CONGRATS FULL PAGE NONBLEED AD: 7.5” X 9.75” FROM THE FESTIVAL Welcome to the 28th Hamptons International Film Festival! 2020 has certainly been a year to remember! HamptonsFilm started out strong with two well-attended dinner-and-a-movie screenings from our Signature Air, Land + Sea program, screened a winter classic film, SILKWOOD, and completed most of the annual documentary filmmaking program with the Montauk School. ALEC BALDWIN Board Co-Chair In adapting to our new reality, we pivoted to share films with our community all year long. Generously, our Co-Chair Alec Baldwin hosted a weekly Friday Flashback series, where he introduced a past film and conversation fromSummerDocs or HIFF’s Conversation With… series while providing virtual access to watch the film and listen to the recorded post- screening discussion. And our popular Now Showing series quickly transitioned from in- person screenings to first-run virtual cinema offerings, available to watch from the comfort of your own home. In July, at our HamptonsFilm Drive-In at Hayground School, we entertained thousands of RANDY MASTRO Board Co-Chair film enthusiasts with new and classic films, including our annual SummerDocs series, on a giant outdoor screen backlit by spectacular sunsets and sparkling summer night skies. Though this year’s festival will look different from years past, rest assured that you will see some of the most exciting films this unconventional year has to offer—on screens both big and small.
