- Turner Classic Movies has hired Elvis Mitchell to host a new interview series called TCM: Under the Influence. Lou Lumenick reports, via Movie City News.
- In an interview with Stream, Wholphin’s Brent Hoff gives props to the programmers of some of our favorite film festivals: SXSW, Cinevegas and True/False. Of the latter’s Paul Sturtz and David Wilson, he says, “Their selections are incredible. They are people with such heart, and they look at everything through the prism of who they are as people and what moves them. And I think that’s why they put on such beautiful films. And believe me, everyone says it, everyone that goes universally agrees that these guys nail it like nobody else, and few people know about it. I guarantee it will become a much bigger deal. I’m outing them. I’m sure I’ve just ruined the town.” Via BigScreenLittleScreen.
