Legendary Digital Networks is hoping to capitalize on one of its most beloved web series by bringing a new show to Alpha, its subscription video on-demand service. The show in question is called CelebriD&D, and it features a cast of TV, film, and digital media notables who will gather together to play Dungeons & Dragons.
The dungeon master for CelebriD&D is Matthew Mercer, who also hosts the popular web series Critical Role on the Legendary-owned Geek & Sundry channel. Mercer serves as the master of ceremonies for a role-playing five-person band that consists of his Critical Role co-stars Marisha Ray and Taliesin Jaffe, Dan Casey and Jessica Chobot of the Legendary-owned Nerdist network, and a guest. In the premiere episode, that guest is actor Joe Manganiello, who has a long history with Dungeons & Dragons.

As I sit here looking at my iPad screen writing this, I think back on the past two days at the Rose City Comic Con and think “Damn, what experience in my life will ever top the fun I had this weekend?” This was the first Comic Convention I ever attended and damned if every other con to follow will have a lot to live up to.
What struck me first was the atmosphere. From the moment I stepped off the Max train (the often times unreliable form of public transportation we in Portland rely upon) and walked to the entrance of Rccc, you felt an aura, for lack of a better term, of acceptance and joy. Folks of all shapes, sizes, and ages were dressed in their favorite characters, ready to show them off to not only the other convention goers but hopefully to some of the creators who...

About three weeks ago, I wrote an article announcing Shadowlocked's involvement in this year's Telluride Horror Show and my role as 'Master Host'. Some of you have been wondering what films will be on tap for those in attendance, and lemme tell ya, there are some real doozies. Whether their horror tastes lie with the moody and atmospheric or with over the top fountains of gore, fright fans will find that the Horror Show has something for everyone this year.
Back by popular demand is the extremely popular horror/comedy Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, one of last year's Horror Show crown jewels returning for a repeat performance. Also on tap is The Tunnel, an Australian horror in the 'found footage' genre. Director Carlo Ledesma and producers Enzo Tedeschi and Julian Harvey will be in attendance. Making their United States debuts are shoot-o-rama The Scarlet Worm and tournament-style gorefest Monster Brawl.

Screening before the delightful Icelandic movie Summerland at Fantastic Fest this week is a clever short film by actors -- and brothers -- Shiloh and Rider Strong. The Dungeon Master features a nerdtastic performance by Alexander Polinsky of Charles In Charge as a wizard/dungeon master who turns the tables on a group of bullies. Both of the Strong brothers were at the fest on Friday to present their short, and during the Q&A they revealed they have acquired funding to turn the Dungeon Master concept into a full-length feature.
The script was light and funny, relatable to gamer nerds and regular mortals alike. In addition to Polinsky, stars included Adam Busch of TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Travis Schuldt of Scrubs and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Jason Marsden. You might recall Busch was at Fantastic Fest last year with the comedy Drones.

Knoxville, we know you're all Volunteer fans there, and things could be better for you. Florida just opened another can of whoop ass on you, and Tennesse's most glorious alum, Peyton Manning, is on the shelf until who knows when. But fear not! I've got good news for you.
The Third Annual Knoxville Horror Film Fest will be kicking off at the Relix Variety Theater on October 22 and carrying on the madness through October 23. And the films we've heard rumored to be screened at this year's festival are so good they'll make you forget how Rainey ran through your defense like they were zombies (and I'm talking about the slow old school shuffling zombies, not the fast Dawn of the Dead remake ones - gotta tighten up that D).
So far we know the outstanding anthology film Chillerama will be headlining Sunday's events. Other confirmed films are Javier Chillon's Decapoda Shock,...

When it comes to selecting which movies you are going to put in your film festival, some organizers are better than others. Judging by the announcement of first wave of films to be screened at the Second Annual Telluride Film Festival in Telluride, Colorado, these guys know their shit!
With a schedule that will boast over 20 features and 20 shorts, this is just the beginning, but I'm impressed already…Chillerama, Helldriver, a killer baseball pitcher film And Tucker and Dale vs Evil. Yeah, I'm impressed.
And not only are you getting a killer film line-up, Telluride itself is amazing! A former silver mining town set in a box canyon in southwest Colorado, it's the perfect Shining-esque, Overlook Hotel setting for a horror film festival. To-Hell-You-Ride, Colorado. Oh yeah!
I know it's a full schedule when the ol' carpel tunnel syndrome starts acting up while I write and format the film list.

Fantastic Fest Announces List Of Short Films which includes must sees ‘Cop Hard’ and ‘Infernal Nuns’
The complete list of short films screening at Fantastic Fest has been announced. Unfortunatly as with most short films, there isn’t too much known about many of these. I know Infernal Nuns recieved a lot of praise from various blogs after it screened at Fantasia and Cop Hard is based on the popular web series, but apart from that, I’m pretty much in the dark. What I do know is that sometimes the short films are more rewarding than some features. Remember folks, some of these directors may go on to do some very big things in the near future, so try and check them out. Here is the press release.

Anybody can tell a good tale, spin a quality yarn so to speak, if given an hour and a half. But to accomplish that same feat in 15 minutes or so, now that's doing something. And Fantastic Fest has announced the lineup of 50 films doing just that for this year's program.
The Fantastic Fest shorts will be presented during the festival, which runs September 22-29 in Austin, Texas. With running times as long as thirty minutes and a short as two, and coming from over a dozen countries, the films look as diverse as they will be entertaining. Take a gander at the huge list complied below, and for those of you lucky enough to be in the great state of Texas during the fest, we envy you.
Fantastic Fest 2011 Shorts
All Men Are Called Robert (2011)
U.S. Premiere
Director: Marc-Henri Boulier, France, 6 minutes

Sure, Rider Strong has done a ton of stuff since his days on the ABC series Boy Meets World, but far be it from me to pass up a chance to name drop that Tgif classic! Since his days playing Cory Matthews's Bff Shawn, Strong's continued to act and began directing, co-helming the Dungeons & Dragons-themed short The Dungeon Master with brother Shiloh, which is set to screen at next month's Fantastic Fest. After the jump, watch the film's trailer and get the full list of genre shorts playing at the Austin festival.

The Dungeon Master
Directed and written by Rider Strong and Shiloh Strong
2011, USA
Shane and his friends immerse themselves in a D&D spectacular, all in the hope of reliving the geeky fun they had back in their younger days, but things go terribly wrong once the dungeon master shows up dressed in a cape. The Dungeon Master, which screened before the closing film at this year’s Fantasia Film Festival, was yet another surprise hit. What’s most striking about this short is that, while poking fun at D&D, which could be considered something of an easy target, the fun-making doesn’t really extend to the game itself. In fact one can argue that given the direction the narrative takes, The Dungeon Master is a fourteen minute fantasy for any kid who was ever bullied back in high school simply for being different. The Dungeon Master is an affectionate spoof,...

San Diego’s annual Comic-Con is mostly known for its major media spectacles, displays and panel discussions by major mainstream Hollywood studios and distributors. Lesser known is the Independent Film Festival that is hosted by and runs concurrently with the larger convention on July 21-24.
The film festival runs in a large meeting room at the Marriott Marquis Hotel and Marina, located right next door to the convention center. Each day kicks off with a “Film School” panel discussion at 10:00 a.m., then packs the late morning, all afternoon and night with independent films from all over the world.
Screenings are blocked by genre, such as Action/Adventure, Sci-Fi, Horror, Animation and Documentary. There’s also an awards presentation on the 24th, with repeat screenings of the winning films.

You can tell how massive and diverse a festival like Tribeca is by the fact that I saw 10 features and a whole bunch of shorts, yet only one film I saw won an award and none received special mention. I want to congratulate Rider & Shiloh Strong for winning best online short for their amazing film, The Dungeon Master. I have been pushing it as my favorite short of the festival and apparently many people agreed with me. Below is the list of all the winners & special mentions. Congratulations to all of them and congrats to everyone who just played at the festival, which is a huge honor by itself.

My favorite short film of the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival was a dark comedy called The Dungeon Master. Apparently it was your favorite as well because it won Best Short from the Tribeca (Online) Film Festival. Earlier this week I had the opportunity to sit down with Rider & Shiloh Strong to talk about the film, which they wrote and directed. I want to thank them for taking the time to speak with me and also for signing some Tribeca program guides, which we are giving away right Here.
Below is a video of our full interview, in which we talk about making the film, Dungeons & Dragons, social media, embarrassing childhood magic shows and more. Enjoy!

In an event held at the Union Square W Hotel in Manhattan, the 10th annual Tribeca Film Festival announced its major prize winners (with the Heineken Audience Award to be announced on Saturday, April 30). The festival has been influential in recent years in finding the best documentaries of the year, and often also in helping to bring them to fruition.
Consequently, the judges’ choices of winners of the documentary categories should be taken seriously, and those films tracked down as must-viewing over the year/s ahead.
For the filmmakers, one of the true rewards that sets this festival apart, in addition to the cash and in-kind prizes that come with these awards, are the Tribeca Film Festival Art Awards sponsored by Chanel, which gift original pieces of art to the winners below. Any endeavor where art inspires art across different media is worthy of support, and nothing could be more New York.

Because I was running late today, I unfortunately had to skip my customary breakfast ice cream. Instead today started right up with an early screening of Grave Encounters by The Vicious Brothers. I was thoroughly surprised by this very fun flick. While I love the found footage genre, I much prefer TV shows like Ghost Hunters to found footage ghost (or demon) films like Paranormal Activity. While there really isn.t anything original in Grave Encounters, the execution really makes it worthwhile.
Following the screening, I made my way to the Doha Film Institute Filmmaker Lounge for an interview with Rider and Shiloh Strong. I was really looking forward to the interview, not just because I grew up watching Boy Meets World religiously but also because I truly loved their short, The Dungeon Master.

Since Friday, I have been raving to people about Rabies (review here), which is my favorite film of the Tribeca Film Festival so far. I.ve also been telling everyone how it is available to watch for free as part of the festival.s online screening room. Pretty much no one knew what I was talking about. It occurred to me that I should write a post to explain a little bit about Tribeca.s online festival and how you can watch some great indie films for free.
By going to http://www.tribecafilm.com/tribecaonline you can get all the info. Basically you have to sign up for a free Tribeca film account and then reserve a virtual seat for one of the online screenings. Each of the films have set days when they are streaming and you should have 24 hours for each to check in and watch the film on those days.

On Day -1 of the Tribeca Film Festival, we welcomed local participants at our annual New York Filmmakers Party, held in the velvet-couched rooms of the Bowery Hotel. Though we all dodged raindrops to get there, a good time was had by all at the soiree, sponsored by Company 3 and Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, which offer post-production services, specializing in color correction. Company 3 Vice President Jackie Lee explained why they enjoy being a part of Tribeca: 'We host this party to support independent filmmakers in New York, and because New York is such an important market. We just opened Company 3 Di services in 2011, and we're now working on 6-8 independent films, including Drive. We want to help indie filmmakers realize their dreams, and we know this is a tough market in which to make films.' Filmmakers Rider and Shiloh Strong, whose short film The Dungeon Master...

Organisers of the Tribeca Film Festival have announced this year's line-up of 60 short films, 22 of which are world premieres.
The international festival was founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, producer Jane Rosenthal and real-estate investor Craig Hatkoff to help revitalise Manhattan's Tribeca neighbourhood following the 9/11 terrorist attack.
The 2011 event - presented by founding sponsor American Express - will run from April 20 to May 1. The 60 shorts represent 21 countries, including the UK, and feature stars from around the globe.
In a new development this year, the recipient of the Tff Best Narrative Short award will qualify for consideration in the Short Films category of the Oscars without the standard theatrical run, provided the film otherwise complies with Academy rules.
The short film program, drawn from 2,862 submissions, will be presented in eight thematic programs, which are detailed below.
There is a broad spectrum of styles and storytelling, from zombies taking over Manhattan to the humanitarian effort in Haiti.
