Women and Hollywood Infographic

If you read my Women in Film series over at Yellow Bunting then you'll remember how a recurring theme was how prevalent women were as creators in various eras of movie history. Fandor (a movie streaming site) has created an interesting info graphic to demonstrate this, I found it on Indie Wire:

Game of Thrones Parody on You Tube

Starring Lydia Bennet(Mary Kate Wiles) and "Did somebody say" Ron Weasley:



Funny without being snarky, this is both a tribute and a mickey take of GoT. Watch all three in one go! My favourite bit? The last scene of episode three.

100 posts and a Culturefly article

Sorry for the lack of posts lately! So this is the 100th blog post, cupcakes and balloons all round. What better way to mark this than a article published by Culturefly!

Reading this online you’re probably already aware of how much you rely on electricity and power. No power means no cars or planes, no TV or radio, no phone system, no medical equipment, no freezers and no food storage systems. Things would get pretty difficult pretty quickly.

Sky One’s Revolution is a new US drama that shows pretty much exactly that. Set fifteen years after the entire world’s power supply just cut out with no warning or explanation. Things devolve quickly and the US is now run by ruthless militia groups that monopolise food and weapons while most people live in small villages scraping by on what they can grow or hunt. Needless to say, it isn’t the cheeriest of places.

I have done a series review that you can read here and Culturefly are looking for writers if you are interested. Head over to the site and it has all the details.

Veronica Mars Kickstarter Ended

...and they made $5,702,153 which is waaaaay more than the $2m they were aiming for.

Only time will tell what they do with the extra cash, what the movie with be like and if it may have just changed how we fund film and TV projects forever!
