Starz' 'Girlfriend Experience' Seduces in Season 2 09.29.2017 â€‹ Starz returns with the second season of Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience on Nov. 5, and it's a totally different take on the storytelling of season one, which starred Riley Keough. In season two, the series tells two parallel stories, each written, directed and executive produced by Lodge Kerrigan and Amy Seimetz. Kerrigan's storyline stars Anna Friel as Erica Myles, a high-powered Republican operative who recruits GFE (girlfriend experience) provider Anna Garner (Louisa Krause) to help her blackmail a dark-money fundraiser in order to gain access to his secret donor network. Along the way, Anna and Erica fall into complicated sexual relationship themselves that changes the course of both of their lives. Seimetz tells the story of former high-end escort Bria Jones (Carmen Ejogo) who enters the witness protection program to escape an abusive relationship and is forced to start a new, less glamorous life in New Mexico. Once there, she revives her career as a sex-worker but quickly realizes the stakes are much higher than she thought. Soderberg and Philip Fleishman executive produce The Girlfriend Experience along with Kerrigan and Seinmetz, who are also co-creators, writers and directors on the series. Jeff Cuban, Andrew Fierberg and Adele Romanski also executive produce. Key art for the new season is below. We want to show off your stuff!

LONG SUMMARY Molly Shannon plays Emily Dickinson in the dramatic comedy " Wild Nights with Emily." The poet’s persona, popularized since her death, became that of a reclusive spinster – a delicate wallflower, too sensitive for this world. This film explores her vivacious, irreverent side that was covered up for years — most notably Emily’s lifelong romantic relationship with another woman (Susan Ziegler). After Emily died, a rivalry emerged when her brother's mistress (Amy Seimetz) along with editor T.W.

Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) PAUL SPARKS
Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) Riley Keough, 26, is one of Hollywood’s rising stars. At the age of 12, she appeared in her first campaign for Tommy Hilfiger and at the age of 15 she ignited a media firestorm when she walked the runway for Christian Dior. From a young age, Riley wanted to explore her talents within the film industry, and by the age of 19 she dedicated herself to developing her acting craft for the camera. In 2010, she made her big-screen debut as Marie Currie in The Runaways starring opposite Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. People took notice; shortly thereafter, she starred alongside Orlando Bloom in The Good Doctor, directed by Lance Daly. Riley’s memorable work in the film, which premiered at the Tribeca film festival in 2010, earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Milan International Film Festival in 2012. Riley’s talents landed her a title-lead as Jack in Bradley Rust Gray’s werewolf flick Jack and Diane. She also appeared alongside Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike, directed by Steven Soderbergh, which grossed nearly $167 million worldwide. Further in 2011, she completed work on director Nick Cassavetes’ film Yellow, starring alongside Sienna Miller, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liota, as well as the Xan Cassavetes film Kiss of the Damned. As her camera talent evolves alongside her creative growth, so do the roles she is meant to play. Recently, she was the lead in the highly-anticipated fourth installment of director George Miller’s cult- classic Mad Max - Mad Max: Fury Road alongside a distinguished cast comprising of Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz and Nick Hoult.

All That She Surveys Directed by Gary Mairs Written by James Benning Starring Amy Seimetz OFFICIAL SELECTION, COURTISANE FESTIVAL (GHENT, BELGIUM) 2012 OFFICIAL SELECTION, LUME INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (SÃO LUÍS DO MARANHÃO, BRAZIL) 2012 OFFICIAL SELECTION, DOWNTOWN FILM FESTIVAL LOS ANGELES 2012 OFFICIAL SELECTION, ZINEBI 54 - INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF DOCUMENTARY AND SHORT FILM BILBAO NOVEMBER 2012 Screened in LIGHT AND SOUND MACHINE series, THIRD MAN RECORDS, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE MAY 2013 SYNOPSIS All That She Surveys is about a woman who likes to watch. It is the third film in a series of five interconnected shorts, all directed by Gary Mairs and starring Amy Seimetz or David Nordstrom and written by different screenwriters. Each film is stylistically unique and when screened together, they form a feature length narrative. The first is Say It (2008), written by Theron Patterson (Dark Cloud, 2010 Toronto International Film Festival) and the second is The Hemingway Night (2009), written by Tom Block. Production begins on the fourth film in June 2012. The Hemingway Night premiered at the 2009 Palm Springs International Shortsfest. All That She Surveys premiered at the 2012 International Film Festival Rotterdam. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT When I say that I’m not at all sure what All That She Surveys means, I’m not being disingenuous: the film remains fundamentally mysterious to me. When James Benning approached me with the idea for the film, he related it as a series of five short episodes in a young woman’s day. There was less a sense of a story being told than of fragments of time, some events with no overarching psychological significance, an attempt to show the experience of looking and listening.

Uw Cinematheque Presents Three Nights of Indie Horror Actor Pat Healy in Person Feb
CINEMATHEQUE PRESS RELEASE -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FEBRUARY 6, 2012 UW CINEMATHEQUE PRESENTS THREE NIGHTS OF INDIE HORROR ACTOR PAT HEALY IN PERSON FEB. 17 & FILMMAKER JOE SWANBERG IN PERSON FEB. 24 In Februray, the UW Cinematheque will offer the first Madison-area theatrical screenings of three acclaimed new works by American independent filmmakers, The Innkeepers, Silver Bullets and The Oregonian. Each film offers its own unique contribution to the horror genre. In Ti West’s The Innkeepers, the modern ghost story is played as much for laughs as scares: a pair of misfit concierges (Sara Paxton and Pat Healy) stuck covering a decrepit hotel’s final weekend with round-the-clock shifts kill time by idly hunting the hotel’s legendary ghost. But the arrival of increasingly mysterious guests (including a psychic played by Top Gun pinup Kelly McGillis) suggests that the duo is in danger of becoming ghosts themselves. “The Innkeepers astonishingly creates characters who are not only specter-prey….Ghost movies like this, depending on imagination and craft, are much more entertaining than movies that scare you by throwing a cat at the camera.” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times) Just announced: Actor Pat Healy will appear in person at the screening of The Innkeepers at 7 p.m. on Friday, February 17 in 4070 Vilas Hall. Healy’s career has included appearances in such major studio films as Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia, Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor, Terry Zwigoff’s Ghost World, David Gordon Green’s Undertow, Werner Herzog’s Rescue Dawn, and Andrew Dominik’s The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford.
