The pre-Pickford days were pretty wild Michael Falter, Program Director in the sense of watching the impossible become possible. The Whatcom Film Association was our moniker back [email protected] then and I was a volunteer back when the Mount Baker Theater generously worked with us to show movies (a Ryan Uhlhorn, Operations Manager double feature of Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven was the stand out), and the original Outdoor Cinema [email protected] in Fairhaven was set up to raise funds. Huge swaths of Bellinghamites turned out for movies like The Wizard Of Lindsey Gerhard, Marketing Manager Oz and Some Like It Hot; it was a good time and I have fond memories of the family atmosphere, and the patrons, [email protected] some of whom I still see at Pickford shows today. At the end of summer we had enough to re-open the theater, Ariel Brownstein, which no one was expecting. The board had a vote and named the movie house after silent-movie superstar Mary Membership & Development Manager Pickford, and our first movie was her 1927 gem My Best Girl. [email protected] Ariana Dorshkind, Assistant Operations Manager Our first managers Dunja and Kate, followed by Graham and Alan kept the theater going for the crucial first [email protected] few years. I volunteered at the theater and served briefly on the board; the arthouse scene downtown was a Hayley McVay, Volunteer Coordinator new heaven for film buffs. We showed lots of documentaries (Genghis Blues, The Endurance), classics (Bicycle [email protected] Thieves, The Third Man), and cool new movies like Memento and Ghost World. We also had midnight movies and Lucas Holtgeerts, Education Outreach Coordinator had to evacuate the theater briefly when the dried ice used for mood during the midnight show of Alien proved [email protected] overwhelming and toxic for humans. The creepy green lighting stayed, however. Winnie Griffith, Pickford Art Studios Manager I went travelling in Europe for a few months and when I returned the Pickford was hiring. Thankfully they picked [email protected] me up and I figured I would stick around for a couple of years. This was in 2001, so my math was considerably off.

  • Sandra Oh Sandra Oh Is a Major Reason Why
    30 INTERVIEW EDGE n Thursday nights in America, life simply stops for somewhere between 10 inte rview Oand 20 million television viewers as they settle in for the newest episode of Grey’s Anatomy . Sandra Oh Sandra Oh is a major reason why. As Dr. Cristina Yang, she plays opposite the series’ title character, Dr. Meredith Grey, who is portrayed by Ellen Pompeo. They lead an ensemble cast that has become a second family to fans since the show first aired seven seasons ago. As J.M. Stewart discovered in this interview, Oh’s knack for creating signature characters (think Arli$$ and Sideways ) comes from an astonishingly honest place. Sandra’s greatest talent, however, may be the ability to keep her head and value her craft in a world where performers are measured by SAG Awards and Emmy Nominations. Of which she has plenty, by the way. EDGE: How was it conveyed to you that Grey’s Anatomy was a different kind of medical drama? s e g a m I It was never said or expressed SO: y t t e formally. The writers and [series G / p u creator] Shonda Rhimes found a way o r G n of telling this story that just worked. It o i s i v is basically a classic storyline. There e l e T are five acts, each person has a C B A y medical issue, and a lot of the time e n s i these medical issues reflect what is D / o c i going on with the characters.

    Media Contacts: For Immediate Release Brooks Addicott, 435.658.3456 December 3, 2008 [email protected] Amy McGee, 310.492.2333 [email protected] 2009 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES FILMS IN COMPETITION Festival Celebrates 25 Years of Independent Filmmaking and Cinematic Storytelling Park City, UT—Sundance Institute announced today the lineup of films selected to screen in the U.S. and World Cinema Dramatic and Documentary Competitions for the 25th Sundance Film Festival. In addition to the four Competition categories, the Festival presents films in five out-of-competition sections to be announced tomorrow. The 2009 Sundance Film Festival runs January 15-25 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Sundance, Utah. The complete list of films is available at www.sundance.org/festival. "This year's films are not narrowly defined. Instead we have a blurring of genres, a crossing of boundaries: geographic, generational, socio-economic and the like," said Geoffrey Gilmore, Director, Sundance Film Festival. "The result is both an exhilarating and emotive Festival in which traditional mythologies are suspended, discoveries are made, and creative storytelling is embraced." "Audiences may be surprised by how much emotion this year's films evoke," said John Cooper, Director of Programming, Sundance Film Festival. "We are seeing the next evolution of the independent film movement where films focus on storytelling with a sense of connection and purpose." For the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, 118 feature-length films were selected including 88 world premieres, 18 North American premieres, and 4 U.S. premieres representing 21 countries with 42 first-time filmmakers, including 28 in competition.

  • Seattle Jobs Plan Update Is Focused on Supporting Innovation and Building Shared Prosperity
    2013 Economic Indicators: a snapshot of recovery Seattle Jobless Rate Drops Below 5% for the First Time Since 2008 Washington State EmploymentJune 19, 2013 Security Department, Good news about our city’s economy keeps rolling in. Seattle continues to outperform the region, the state, and the country in our rate of job growth and retail sales. Our monthly unemployment rate is down to 4.7 percent in April, well below that of the state and the nation as a whole. We’re training workers through the Seattle Jobs Initiative, investing in schools, and building new infrastructure. This is great news for Seattle. But we can’t coast on our success. We can look across America to see examples of cities that did not continue innovating and fell into decline. Seattle has been there before. And we have more work to do. Some residents still struggle to find work. Others have a job but still don’t make enough money to support their families. Our neighborhood businesses have bounced back from the recession, but still need support to remain strong. This Seattle Jobs Plan update is focused on supporting innovation and building shared prosperity. We are launching Startup Seattle, an initiative to support the growth of the Seattle technology startup community. We will work to streamline regulation and permitting of restaurants and cafés. We will also improve construction permitting across City departments to save time and improve transparency. We’ll support expansion of our manufacturing and PHOTO CREDIT: Mayor’s Office Mayor’s PHOTO CREDIT: maritime industries. And we’re building the next generation infrastructure, from rail to broadband, that can sustain innovation for decades to come.

  • Working Class
    >>brief encounters Indie poster boy Steve Buscemi on filmmaking, celebrity culture, and putting out fires By Harlan Jacobson There are endless things to say about Buscemi, closing in on 50 later this year— from his early days as a stand-up come- dian in the East Village in the Eighties to his work both in front of and behind the camera on The Sopranos to his still unre- alized dream project, an adaptation of William Burroughs’s Queer—and it’s a lit- tle odd interviewing him about Interview. In the real world, Buscemi is hard to reach, doesn’t do much publicity, wouldn’t meet in person—in short, the whole process of setting up the interview took on many of the trappings of how art and media have been derailed by celebrity culture, which of course is at the heart of Interview. Get him on the phone, or see him at Sundance responding to audience questions, how- ever, and he’s a straight shooter, earnest and open. The face of the new indepen- dent and quasi-independent American cinema for nearly 20 years, he remembers where he came from when the gates finally swing open. Before his murder Van Gogh was planning to remake Interview in English.Why did you step in? I didn’t know his work at all. Bruce Weiss, the producer, called me about the project, explaining that Theo wanted to remake Working Class Act three of his own films in the States, and that they were trying to honor that using steve buscemi’s career is an american spin-off of the American directors.
