’American Courtesans’ will be available on-demand this Friday in over 100 million homes across the US and Canada -- including on some of the largest cable systems in the country - Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, Brighthouse and iTunes, just to name a few. It will also be available on DVD and BluRay on www.americancourtesans.com, amazon, and ebay.  

 

It's truly one of those pinch me moments. I just got an email saying we will be on iTunes…

My Fondest Hope for ‘Man of Steel’

By Martin Anaya

Thinking about the new Man of Steel  film from Warner Brothers and I realize they have a lot on the line. They have put a ton into marketing and it is clear the Studio is pinning a lot on this including a possible Superman, Batman team-up and a future Justice League franchise that could, if played well, rival Disney’s Avengers for Box Office supremacy in future years. A hit could be…

A Peek Behind the Suit of the #1

Film in the World (no, not that suit)

Intrepid CFF Correspondent/Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Kimberly Mims and I recently…

Wow,

the Sac Film Fest 2013 is in full swing and already there have been too many experiences to put into words. So here's a little report from the field, as it were.Tonight is our Cine Soul program and I'm very excited as there will be several outstanding films in the showcase.

Last night we had the NorCal All Stars

 and featured…

With as many starving actresses, actors and crew out there, one would think that those looking to work more in the film industry would attend every event that could bring them closer to their goal. However, so many don't understand just how film festivals play into that goal. I am an avid festival goer as I know that it is there that I will find those that I want to work with in the future. By watching others films and networking with those film makers I have been able to access some of the…

Cant wait for the 48hr program to be updated ... Who got in!

Kristen DiAngelo and I will be attending the Sacramento International Film Festival taking place Saturday April 20th through Sunday April 28th. We’re excited to be attending and look forward to seeing a lot of films and meeting a lot of people.

We are looking to network with film professionals in the Northern California area. We plan on shooting our next film, which will be a narrative, exclusively in the Sacramento area and would like to connect with local talent.

We plan on…

Who's ready?

We are so excited yoou can't imagine the films and the media that's going to be there. The programs such as:http://www.californiafilm.net/events/sac-animation. Check out our film festival guide on our page by becoming a free member today and RSVP to our events and purchase your tickets!

If any other attending filmmakers to the 2013 Sacramento Int'l Film Festival want to be more economical and split an Embassy Suite with one quiet, friendly screenwriter, let me know.  I have a reservation but don't need the whole place to myself.

While the idea for American Courtesans may have been sparked by a visit to an S&M club in NYC (see http://www.americancourtesans.com/about2.php); the actual creation took place on the opposite coast in Sacramento CA. Our company, Centex Enterprises, is located here in Sacto.

Kristen DiAngelo (Producer) and I began writing and brainstorming our documentary here. It went together quickly, taking only a couple of weeks…

Accounts Receivable was shot in Sacramento, California.  Shooting seventeen pages in two twelve-hour days is not recommended for the weak of heart.  But the cast and crew were experienced, prepared and eager.

We were able to lure Christopher Holley away from the Hollywood hills for a few days.  Chris has a knack of portraying what I like to call intimate menace.  The softer he talks, the more nervous everyone gets.  Perfect for the role of Dante, whom an L.A. suit might…

We were at the cast call a couple of weeks ago, please email me at vskvorchuk@gmail.com or write me a message here if you are looking for actors.
