He may not have made a good movie since “Blue Jasmine,” but Woody Allen’s influence still reaches far and wide. Whether it’s the charming self-deprecation of Greta Gerwig’s “Frances Ha,” Ingrid Jungermann’s update on “Manhattan Murder Mystery” with the soon-to-be-released “Women Who Kill,” or the whimsical surrealism of “Approaching a Breakthrough,” a new short film from writer/director Noah Pritzker.

There's a good chance that composer Sage Lewis is the man behind the music of your favorite indie film. One of the busiest people in the industry, Sage's music can be heard on festival favorites such as The Ground Beneath Their Feet, Aban and Khorshid and, most recently, Operator. I spoke with Sage about his score for Operator, his process as a composer and more. What was it like to score a technology themed drama like Operator? Did you enjoy it? It was fun because the storyline gave me a creative license to geek out on electronic music techniques that you usually don't get away with in most film scoring scenarios. For example, the vocoder and other types of electronic vocal generators wove perfectly into the type of music that was required...

In an age of constant technological innovation, the new film “Operator” asks the question: What happens if you could replace your significant other with an unflawed double? Logan Kiben’s debut film stars Martin Starr (“Freaks and Geeks”) as Joe, an anxious programmer who enlists the help of Emily (Mae Whitman), his empathetic wife, when given the task to create the perfect call center program, but their relationship soon deteriorates when he replaces her with an ideal replica. Watch an exclusive clip from the film below.

Documentarian Owsley Brown’s third feature, “Serenade for Haiti,” is bound for New York City’s prestigious Doc NYC festival next month, and continues his burgeoning tradition of exploring and celebrating music and art. The film was shot over a seven-year period and focuses on the Sainte Trinité Music School in Port-au-Prince, all the better to capture a little-seen side of Haiti and some of its wonderfully talented youth.
The film is billed “as story of resilience and great humanity [that] unfolds as the teachers and students of Sainte Trinité sustain a deep commitment to music and education against extraordinary odds, including the destruction of their school in the 2010 earthquake and the subsequent efforts to rebuild it.”

"I enjoy listening to you." The Orchard has unveiled a trailer for a quirky romance titled Operator, about a relationship that goes awry when the programmer creates a digital version of his wife's voice. The indie film stars Martin Starr (from "Silicon Valley" and "Party Down") and Mae Whitman (seen in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and The Perks of Being a Wallflower), along with Nat Faxon, Cameron Esposito, Retta, Christine Lahti and Kate Cobb. I hate to say it, but this almost seems like a low-rent TV-movie version of Spike Jonze's brilliant Her, playing on the technology angle and the romance. Maybe there's something to it, but it didn't really grab my attention aside from Whitman's performance (she's a voice actor in real life, too). Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Logan Kibens' Operator, in high def from Apple: An anxious programmer enlists the help of his...

Evoking comparisons to Spike Jonze’s Her, in which Joaquin Phoenix fell head over heels for an artificial intelligence voiced by Scarlett Johansson, the first trailer for indie melodrama Operator has dropped.
Not to be confused with last year’s cop thriller of the same name, Logan Kibens’ feature is a much more intimate affair – more intimate than even Her because unlike Jonze’s near-future hit, this is a movie that is much more human in nature. At a loss of how to replace the digital voice used in his call center program, Martin Starr’s anxious programmer turns to his nearest and dearest (Mae Whitman) to lend her vocal chords as the new Operator. What starts off as a runaway success soon warps into an introspective drama, with Starr’s lead becoming dangerously attached to the perfectly calibrated version of his partner, thereby putting a massive strain on their real relationship.

‘Operator’ Trailer: Mae Whitman Gives Voice to a Technological Wonder in Quirky Festival Hit — Watch
Mae Whitman has been as active in the voiceover world as she has on television and in film. In “Operator,” she taps into both talents: The “Parenthood,” “Arrested Development” and “The Duff” actress plays a woman hired to be the voice of a medical app. Watch the film’s trailer below.

Her dulcet tones prove to be the only suitable medicine, but the intersection of the married couple’s personal and professional lives brings symptoms of its own.

Fame is a trip and Lee Daniels’ new series “Star” will invite viewers to come along for the ride. Partnering with Tom Donaghy, the duo are pulling back the curtains on the gritty and dark reality of trying to make it in the music scene. Ahead of its special preview this December, a new teaser for their Fox series has just been released.
“Star” follows three talented singers (newcomers Jude Demorest, Ryan Destiny and Brittany O’Grady), desperate for a new start and with ambitions of stardom, as they navigate the cut-throat music business on their road to success.

Martin Starr is best known for comedies like Freaks and Geeks and Silicon Valley, but he's always been an underrated dramatic actor. Same goes for Mae Whitman, who was so great as Ann (her?) on Arrested Development. So it's cool to see them team up for a new film called Operator, which looks like it deals with the intersection of love and technology in a similar way that Spike Jonze explored those topics in Her a couple of years ago. Check out the full synopsis and the trailer below.
Joe (Martin Starr) loves data. He tracks his diet and exercise, his mood and sex life – turning the information into beautiful charts that help him control his often overwhelming anxiety. At work Joe designs personalities for digital customer service voices, but his latest robo-agent for a client is a disaster. In a moment of inspiration he enlists his wife Emily (Mae Whitman...

In Spike Jonze‘s “Her,” Joaquin Phoenix found himself falling for the artificial intelligence (voiced by Scarlett Johansson) that came packaged with his new Siri-esque software. The upcoming indie “Operator” works on a similar premise, but with one very human twist.
Co-written and directed by Logan Kibens, and starring Mae Whitman and Martin Starr, the film follows a programmer who discovers his wife is the perfect voice for call center software.

After Her explored how artificial intelligence may become a new outlet for humans to find love, a new film that played at SXSW earlier this year feels like a kindred spirit. It’s one that’s a little more grounded in reality, but still uses technology as the catalyst for romantic confusion. Operator follows Martin Starr as […]

While Her crafted a science fiction fantasy where an AI companion was so fully inhabited that a human could fall in love with it, the film had to suspend one painful fact of reality: today’s interactive voice response technology kind of blows. And that appears to be the launching pad for Operator.
Martin Starr plays Joe, a frustrated software engineer at Welltrix trying to create Alexis, a vocal response system for call centers. His manager (Retta) isn’t pleased with the disjointed results. That’s when Starr calls his wife Emily, played by Mae Whitman. A hotel concierge, Emily is patient, calming, and supportive; Joe has an epiphany that Emily is the Alexis he’s been looking for. Soon, Welltrix is on board, and Emily is conscripted to participate. As Emily is relentlessly evaluated, recorded, synthesized, and compressed to extrapolate limitless dialogue, it creates a pressure on her marriage...

This year, Michael Moore will use his Traverse City Film Festival to throw down the gauntlet for women filmmakers. The official selection — not the sidebar, not a spotlight — is comprised of 32 films, and every one is directed by a woman.
“Every film in our Official Selection (Us), fiction and nonfiction, is directed or co-directed by a woman,” Moore told IndieWire in an email. “And they’re all incredible movies. As an expression of tokenism usually reserved for women, I am bringing five films by American men in a sidebar called, ‘Men Make Movies —The Struggle Continues.'” There are other movies in the lineup directed by men, of course, whether foreign or classic.
Compiling the list took some digging, as Moore, admits in his Traverse City Film Festival welcome letter. But the results are impressive, ranging from Sundance hits (Heidi Ewing & Rachel Grady’s documentary “Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You,...
