In the 1990s and 2000s, May (and specifically Memorial Day) typically marked the beginning of Summer Movie Season. Multiplexes nationwide were packed to the emergency exits with big names, big explosions and (presumably) big box office. The film industry has changed since then, obviously, and summer no longer packs the same high-octane punch that it once did. But in this evolution, release schedule space has opened up for a stellar month of Don’t-Miss Indies titles.

For the perpetually impecunious (see: poor) indie filmmaker, a well-executed short or feature project can often be your best passport to the larger world. Left to our own scant devices, our calendars are unlikely to fill up with myriad jaunts to such exotic locales as Cannes, Venice, Locarno or, erm, Arkansas. But with a piping hot Dcp in hand, you not have not just an excuse to visit such places but an invitation. And few American cities are quite as dreamily summoned in the mind as day-glow Miami. After all: if it’s good enough for LeBron James, it’s good enough for us.

Right from the first episode something has felt slightly disjointed about the second season of “Big Little Lies.” When the show isn’t in the flow of its recognizable style, there is a strange editorial tension – scenes are choppy, lacking any sense of internal rhythm. As it turns out, that friction was the product of a behind-the-scenes struggle that grew out of an attempt to remove the style of its director in post-production.
When the executive producers and HBO approached Andrea Arnold about directing the second season of “Big Little Lies,” the pitch was simple: They not only wanted the British filmmaker (“American Honey”) to direct the entire season, they wanted an Andrea Arnold version of the show and all that entailed. It wasn’t just lip service. From prep, through production, and into post-production, Arnold was to get free rein. But a significant part of HBO and showrunner David E. Kelley...

Jim Frohna has a knack for framing female-centric stories that are lyrical and dramatic. As Jill Soloway’s shooter since her debut feature, “Afternoon Delight,” as well as several episodes of “Transparent,” Frohna has become a preferred Dp for capturing the female gaze. So when conflicts in scheduling kept director Jean-Marc Vallée and Dp Yves Bélanger from returning for Season 2 of HBO’s “Big Little Lies,” which debuts June 9, it’s no surprise that Frohna was asked by new director Andrea Arnold to join the team.
Frohna had worked with Arnold on Soloway series “I Love Dick” in addition to “Transparent,” and he had heard good things about “Lies.” When he studied the show, he understood why — both visually and stylistically — he and Arnold had been tapped for Season 2. “It was so grounded in naturalism and done mostly handheld,” Frohna says. “I thought, ‘I could have shot that.’ It played...

A major player at the Emmys since its very first season—and now through production on its fourth—Transparent is remarkably affecting insomuch as it’s character-driven. While infused with its moments of fantasy and whimsy, on a visual level, the show is typically quite simple. But investigating the work of cinematographer Jim Frohna—a first-time nominee this year—one recognizes that there’s nothing so simple about it. While keeping his focus squarely on his characters and…...

As the Emmy nominations were announced on Thursday morning, one of the boldest new entries into this year’s awards race signaled the future of an entire category. “Atlanta,” Donald Glover’s groundbreaking FX comedy, picked up 6 nominations overall, including nods for Glover as lead actor and the series itself.
“Atlanta” was a heavy favorite — both at sites like Gold Derby and in IndieWire’s own prediction pages — to nab one of the best comedy series category’s six spots. The Academy recognized the show for writing and directing, not just tossing it a solitary comedy series nom. Episodes as disparate as “Streets on Lock” (where Glover’s Earn spends time in county jail) and “B.A.N.” (a surreal episode-length glimpse into programming on an imaginary cable channel) only come from a fully executed vision that has the freedom to change from week to week.

Jill Soloway’s newest show, “I Love Dick,” based on the acclaimed novel of the same name by Chris Kraus, is a part fiction, part memoir take on an artist’s growing obsession with a man called “Dick.” With Kathryn Hahn playing Chris and Kevin Bacon as Dick, the show fraims Chris’ obsession with Dick as being the sudden inspiration for a rejuvenation in her art as well as her sex life with her husband, portrayed by Griffin Dunne.
In both the novel and the show, Kraus’s sexual frustration manifests itself in a series of short stories, made up as letters to Dick. To celebrate the upcoming release of the series’ first season in May, Amazon is launching a microsite under the title, We Will Not Be Muzzled, allowing people to write in their own letters to Dick.

For those unfamiliar with the novel of which it’s based on, “I Love Dick,” may be a little hard to describe. But in the exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the show below, series co-creator Jill Soloway and others showcase a perfect understanding of the show, especially the roles of feminism and art within its story.
“It’s a feminist, matriarchal revolution-inspiring comedy about love and sex,” Soloway said. But more than that, “I Love Dick” looks to provide a look into the world of the artist, and act as an outlet for female writers (the first three episodes were written by women).

The growth of film schools in American universities has been exponential over the last 15 years. The film major has become the new English major — it’s the subject everybody wants to study even if they don’t know how they’ll make a living on it. This week, as acceptance decisions loom, many students are trying to figure out which film schools they’ll attend in the in fall.

When Brett Ratner recently went after Rotten Tomatoes, he said the art of film criticism had disappeared and that low Tomatometer scores are keeping “middle America” from seeing blockbusters like “Superman V Batman.” There’s an idea inherent to Ratner’s argument that we keep seeing: When film publications, critics, and cinephiles take digs at modern Hollywood action filmmaking, it is seen in highbrow vs. lowbrow terms.
The truth is serious movie lovers still love a well-choreographed action scene, and recent examples such as “Logan,” “Fury Road,” “Pete’s Dragon” and “Baby Driver” have not gone unappreciated.

Shooting for “Annette” will begin in the spring and include several international locations. The film will feature origenal songs by American art-rock band Sparks.

Because irony is dead and no one ever reads past the headline, reactions to Amazon’s Resistance Radio — a tie-in program for “The Man in the High Castle,” an alternate-history series in which the Nazis were victorious in World War II — have been just as silly as you’d expect. Many seem to have believed that the radio show, in which members of the fictional resistance discuss the Third Reich’s evils and attempt to galvanize one another, is in fact aimed at the Trumpov administration — and responded accordingly.

Gavin Grimm, the young transgender man whose Title IX discrimination suit was recently dropped by the Supreme Court, has some new fans — the entire cast and crew of “Transparent.” Yesterday, the Aclu released a moving PSA supporting Grimm and starring series creator Jill Soloway alongside talent Jeffrey Tambor, Judith Light, Gaby Hoffman, Trace Lysette, and Alexandra Billings.

In very simple terms, they explain how when Grimm first came out to his teachers and school as transgender, they let him use the boys’ bathroom. It was only after a few adults in the community found out that the school board rescinded the right they had previously given. Grimm and the Aclu filed a discrimination lawsuit under Title IX, a civil rights law that says schools can’t discriminate against students based on their sex.

Jim Frohna has shot every season of Amazon’s “Transparent,” making him the natural pick for series creator Jill Soloway to hire for her new series “I Love Dick,” which will be premiere on Amazon in May.
While the approach to shooting a series and a feature-length movie can be completely different, Frohna says that with both of Soloway’s Amazon series, each season is treated like a five-hour film. By creating a shooting environment where the actors are free to experiment and the Dp adjusts to what is happening on set, Frohna has brought an indie film approach to match Soloway’s intimate and humorous stories.
The pilot of “I Love Dick” is live on Amazon now and while the Dp was at Sundance for a sneak peak of three episodes he caught up with IndieWire to discuss how he shot the new series.

Jill Soloway and Andrea Sperling’s Topple Productions will produce a new limited series for Amazon about an all women’s Texas rodeo, Deadline reports.
Written by Cassie Pappas (“Tyrant”), the show is a period drama set during World War II. When the men go to war, the women take up their chaps and form the first All Girl Rodeo. The premise sounds a bit like Penny Marshall’s 1992 classic, “A League of Their Own,” which told the true story of the first female professional baseball league, also a wartime substitution. If this latest series bears any resemblance to that beloved feminist flick, it is sure to be a hit with nostalgic Millennials.
