“I Felt Like I Was on Happy Drugs the Whole Time”
The story behind the making of ‘Amazon Falls’ sounds like a movie in itself. With no script approved, but a cast and crew on stand-by, Director Katrin Bowen called on her friend, Writer Curry Hitchborn who cranked out a complete script in two weeks (at the expense of his health and sanity apparently).
April Telek as 'Jana' and William B. David as 'Calvin' in 'Amazon Falls'
The screenplay was turned around in record time and the roles cast to tell the story of a B-actress who’s career is done - except she’s the only one who won’t accept it.
In this collection of interviews from the set, a variety of actors and creatives including (friend of MovieSet) Garry Chalk playing a security guard, April Telek as ‘Jana,’ Executive Producer Darren Reiter, Production Coordinator Drew Scott, William B. Davis as ‘Calvin,’ Line Producer Robyn Wiener, Ben Ratner as ‘Derek’.
They discuss their motivations for participating in the project during the hectic 12 day shoot and all express their respect and admiration for the renegade director Katrin Bowen. For her part, she mentions the bliss she felt while seeing the whole picture come together, describing the feeling as ‘being on happy pills the whole time I was shooting - it was crazy.’

As cast and crew of ‘The Irishman‘ work through the production cycle, all sorts of audiences are grabbing a hold of this compelling story and creating coverage from many points of view.
Cast taking a break or acting? Looks like a good Bar-B-Q either way
Some are excited that films are coming to stimulate the Michigan economy, others are ticked off that Ohio didn’t offer tax breaks to the production and missed out. Many come with an interest in the mob and mafia in general while others were “there” during the bomb wars in Cleveland and one man was mentored by Christopher Walken’s character Shondor Birns and expresses his point of view on the scruples of the real-life characters. Then there are the Vincent D’Onofrio fans - legions of rabid enthusiasts with an apparently insatiable appetite for VD’O pics and videos.
To help you explore all the facets of this particular Irishman’s story, here’s a clearinghouse to browse through and enjoy. But first, we’ve were scooped! Some wily filmmakers in Detroit stealthed onto set to capture an explosion and got the eye of MLive.com’s Jessica Nunez who wrote ‘Behind the scenes on ‘The Irishman’s’ Detroit set‘, on July 01, 2009:
MovieSet.com, an online social movie network that often gets exclusive rights to behind-the-scenes footage of major motion pictures, just posted production videos of “The Irishman,” which is filmed in Detroit and stars Christopher Walken and Val Kilmer.
According to PR Newswire, MovieSet’s videos are the “first-ever behind-the-scenes footage” of the film.
That’s not exactly true. Remember this pyrotechnic car explosion near Eastern Market that local production company Slickfire caught on film?

{ED Note: This review comes from new review correspondent Alex Kartman of Indiana who started off in the Micro Movie Review program - check out his blog at: The Aspirer and/or follow him on Twitter}
by Alex Kartman: ‘Scene Selection’
for movieset.com
Movie: ‘The Hurt Locker‘
Release Date: July 26th 2009 (Limited)
Grade: 
4/4
Simply put, “The Hurt Locker” is one of the greatest war films I have ever seen (I have to admit I have many still to see). The cast captures the stresses of war in all aspects, and the writing evokes raw emotion that questions the humanity within all of us. Every aspect of the film fits within the opening quote “war is a drug.” The fighting and chaos of war drives the main character, and pushes the audience along with the rush. “The Hurt Locker” became my favorite film of the year after just one viewing.
