		<description><![CDATA[Called the Protect IP Act, for intellectual property, the bill would take aim at foreign-owned sites that trade in pirated material by allowing American authorities to seek court orders directing domestic Internet service providers, search engines and others to stop doing business with them.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By MICHAEL CIEPLY &#8211; the New York Times:</p>
<p>The entertainment industry threw its weight behind a proposed law that would give law enforcement officials and others new authority to move against Internet sites that traffic without permission in copyrighted material.</p>
<p>The bill was introduced last Thursday in the Senate, with bipartisan support from a group of sponsors that included Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat ofVermont, and Senator Orrin G. Hatch, Republican of Utah.</p>
<p>Called the Protect IP Act, for intellectual property, the bill would take aim at foreign-owned sites that trade in pirated material by allowing American authorities to seek court orders directing domestic Internet service providers, search engines and others to stop doing business with them. It would give rights holders new power to act in court against pirates by using streamlined procedures to eliminate sites that have reappeared with different domain names or new owners after a violation.</p>
<p>The Motion Picture Association of America, which represents the major film companies, joined the National Association of Theater Owners and the Independent Film and Television Alliance last Thursday in supporting the proposed law.</p>
<p>“Movie theater operators are acutely aware of the increasingly harmful effects” of piracy, John Fithian, the president of the theater owners association, said in a statement. The statement was a signal that a generally strong alliance between the theater owners and the film studios remained intact, despite strains created by a recent move by some studios to release a handful of films through on-demand services only two months after their theatrical debut. Theater owners have criticized that plan as a threat to their business.</p>
<p>A number of entertainment unions, including the Directors Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild, also expressed support for the bill.</p>

<p><em><img src="http://www.cinesouq.com/images/caption/synopsis.gif" alt="Synopsis" /></em></p>
<p>Two aspiring starts (Brian Drolet, The Hills, and Nic Nac, American Pie: Beta House), one pursuing acting and the other an unlikely model, become best friends as they struggle together to break into Hollywood and make it to the bigtime. Their journey to the red carpet is less than simple and more than hilarious as they encounter a non-stop barrage of obstacles and whacked-out characters. Ultimately, success comes for those who persevere, even if the end result is not what they had planned. &#8230; 2 Dudes and a Dream is as visually compelling as it is sardonically hilarious. Ripe with parody and satire, the film taps into the spirit of independent cinema coupled with the rebellious and sometimes raunchier elements of major studio hits such as The Hangover and Pineapple Express. Saturated with pop culture and sophisticated comedic timing, the film presents an eclectic specturm of farcical wit and situational comedy. This is a terrific comedy that will constantly suprise the audience and always satisfy its viewers!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Jeff Steele, The Wrap.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cinesouq.com/movie/zeroman"><img class="alignleft" title="Zeroman" src="http://www.cinesouq.com/images/484/1368cf.jpg" alt="concept Key Art" width="160" height="214" /></a>From 2004-08, there was a flood of new capital that poured into the film industry.</p>
<p>Most of this money came from institutional investors like hedge funds, private equity firms and investment banks.</p>
<p>The bulk of that money went to the studios, but when their coffers were full, it trickled down into the independent markets.</p>
<p>Hundreds of millions of dollars were invested into independent film funds like Grosvenor Park, Aramid, Oceana, Winchester, 120db, Newbridge, Barbarian and many more.</p>
<p>As competition for viable projects increased, lending practices decreased. Soon, finance plans were looking for films, instead of the other way around.</p>
<p>Some of those funds are still around, but most are not.</p>
<p>There were so many films financed during this boom time that the indie film market became saturated with product.</p>
<p>At the same time, the global credit crunch struck and many international buyers lost the lines of credit they used for acquiring films.</p>
<p>The product saturation created a bottleneck and the acquisition glut created a clog in that bottleneck that took two years and hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars in financial Drano to root-out.</p>
<p>The good news is that the crash of 2008 brought a halt to film production, which effectively turned off the product spigot, allowing the clog to slowly drain. This two-year production glut had the added benefit of eventually bringing talent fees (and overall budgets) back down to earth.</p>
<p>Fast forward to Sundance 2010, where the acquisition of 50 films marks the first indication of a freshly cleared distribution pipeline. Distribution slots were finally available to be filled, but due to the production glut, there hadn’t been enough films to fill them, so distributors went on a buying spree.</p>
<p>The lack of funding options also created an opportunity for new financiers and funds to enter the indie market, which in turn has created an uptick in the number of projects that are being financed.</p>
<p>New gap funds, equity funds, tax credit funds and banking divisions are popping up.</p>
<p>Some are new faces, but many are survivors from the previous storm, and they’ve comeback more sophisticated, and more conservative, then their predecessors.</p>
<p>The 30 percent &#8211; 40 percent super gap is gone. Lenders are taking fewer chances on foreign buyers (and discounting them accordingly); coverage ratios for gap loans are more conservative and restricted to primary territories.</p>
<p>All of this is placing more demand on equity, which in-turn is demanding more collateral coverage (like first position against the U.S. and tax credit overages.)</p>
<p>So this is the landscape most independent producers now find themselves in, and it’s important that they understand what most of these financiers have been through &#8212; especially if they want them to finance their movies.</p>
<p>For starters, each fund has a set of codified mandates that dictate what types of films they can invest in. These mandates can be based on budget size, genre, type of financing, minimum tax credits, etc.</p>
<p>So the investment criteria for a film fund might sound like: “We only do debt financing (no equity) for thrillers with budgets over $10 million, that shoot in states with incentives over 25 percent, and that have presold 30 percent of the budget (including two major territories).</p>
<p>Also, &#8220;no first-time directors and no animation.”</p>
<p>This may sound well thought-out (and I’m sure there’s a spreadsheet to back it up), but really it’s more of a reflection of the laundry list of promises the fund managers had to make in order to procure investments in their fund.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, it’s important that producers know to whom they’re speaking (and why) before they submit their projects for financing &#8212; otherwise, you’re wasting your time and theirs.</p>
<p>Understanding the funding criteria of the film finance community is Job No. 1 for producers.</p>
<p>Bringing together pre-sales, gap, tax credits, equity and bridge financiers is no small feet.</p>
<p>It’s time consuming, it’s expensive, it’s frustrating &#8212; it’s herding cats, which means, producers have to be prepared, professional, and willing to pay for services.</p>
<p>If producers want to be taken seriously by any financier, then they need to have a budget, a schedule and a finance plan, which means who you hire to create these documents is just as important as the information they contain.</p>
<p>You should also know what date you want to start production &#8212; people respond better to a ticking clock (ideally three to six months from now).</p>
<p>A producer need not know how to create all of these documents; they just need to show they can assemble the right people to put them together.</p>
<p>No talent relations? Fine, hire a casting director.</p>
<p>Also, nobody wants to hear that the script needs work.  Funds are not in the script development or talent attachment business &#8212; that’s the producer’s job.</p>
<p>The first thing an independent producer needs to ask before taking on a project is, “Is this worth investing $10,000 &#8211; $25,000 of my own money?”</p>
<p>At a bare minimum, that’s what it costs to get a script ready for primetime: budget, schedule, finance plan, incorporation, script option, casting director, investment package, cash-flow schedule, and sales estimates.</p>
<p>These are the tools of the trade and, therefore, the cost of doing business as an independent producer. Don’t skimp. You get what you pay for.</p>
<p>With those items in hand, you (the producer) will know everything there is to know about your project and will carry yourself accordingly. That is how you get financiers and funds to pay attention.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.cinesouq.com/movie/shooting-april"><img class="alignleft" title="Shooting April" src="http://www.cinesouq.com/images/131/505cf.jpg" alt="" width="160" height="214" /></a>It&#8217;s crucial to find the right distributor for your film.  Having been to the film markets before, I was intrigued by the idea of an online film marketplace that could be accessed by buyers anytime, from anywhere in the world; so I decided to give Cinesouq a try with our film &#8220;Shooting April&#8221;.</p>
<p>Within months we had a deal in the works with a great distributor who loved our film and really wanted to get behind it.  They licensed Shooting April for all of North America and Japan, and we now have a DVD and broadcast VOD launch coming in early 2011.</p>
<p>Cinesouq was a valuable partner throughout the process. They did everything they said would do, and a lot more on top of that.  I&#8217;d go with them again in a second.</p>

She leaves the Marine corp. and tries to start life again as a civilian. But she keeps being pulled back into combat in one way or another, having to fight her way to save her friend Sophia (Susan Duerden) from being ripped off in an evil plot by Sophia&#8217;s assistant ( Alfonso Freeman). During her adventures, Mimi meets Craig (Tom Sizemore), a handsome man who is maybe just a little too in touch with his feminine side. Heck let&#8217;s face it, Mimi thinks he&#8217;s gay. And Craig thinks M.J is just a little too much like a man. Between the two of them. M.J must learn to be more of a woman, and Craig must be more of a man.</p>
