"Cinematic Immunity" offers a workers'-eye view of Hollywood on the Hudson, revealing the intricate dynamics of filmmaking in New York City from 1954 to 9/11.

The Notebook is ultimately a celebration of life, love, and the power of memory. Audiences first fell in love with this timeless story as a novel, then as an iconic film, and now they can experience it anew as a moving musical event.

Between the meltdown memes, dodgy hairdos and his more taxman-friendly choices of roles, he has frequently made himself a target for ridicule among the masses. Fresh off an Oscar win for Leaving Las Vegas, the actor's decision to follow up with three action films must have seemed baffling at the time. The gambit paid off, though. Consisting of The Rock, Con Air and Face/Off, this unofficial trilogy of blockbusters would showcase the fundamental unknowability of Nicolas Cage.

Jason Biggs directed and stars in "Untitled Home Invasion Romance," as Kevin, who tries to woo back his estranged wife by having an actor friend pretend to be a burglar. Kevin thinks that if she sees him bravely confronting the burglar, she will respect his strength and courage and fall in love with him again. Meaghan Rath plays Suzie, the wife who turns out to have enough strength and courage for both of them.

It's supposed to be a good thing, isn't it: finding something that got lost? But what if that lost thing isn't just a pair of sunglasses but a whole entire boat, the likes of which hasn't been seen for 30 years? In Mark Jenkin's forthcoming Rose of Nevada, out June 19, the title refers to said missing ship, once lost only to now drift back into the harbor of the remote fishing village whence it disappeared.

I was a struggling filmmaker. I was trying to find myself and it wasn't happening. I was ready to give up on filmmaking as I was about to turn 30. I didn't feel like I could do this to myself, my family and friends any longer. I was living in South Austin making the minimum amount of money, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and making bad art. But then Sundance gave me my career with this $3 short film that we submitted to the festival on a lark.
