PHIL FERRIERE:
Nicholl Fellowship quarterfinalist Phil Ferriere is an alum of UCLA's Advanced Professional Program in Screenwriting. He has won several contests and placed in many well-regarded screenwriting competitions. Phil's latest action script and writemovies 1st place winner, ATOM SMASHERS, is inspired by the controversy surrounding Switzerland's Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle accelerator, which some say could create micro black holes on Earth. In ATOM SMASHERS, Phil Ferriere focuses on a trio of physicists racing to stop a growing chunk of anti-matter from destroying the Earth, but hubris, emotional baggage and deep character flaws quickly become bigger obstacles than the scientific anomaly. Over the next few weeks, Phil will be consulting with Alex Ross in order to take ATOM SMASHERS to the next level. He is also hard at work on a thriller (in the vein of DISTURBIA and WHAT LIES BENEATH) about a 17-year-old girl who suspects a teenage boy living next door is being physically abused. As she increases her dangerous snooping, she discovers her own father might know more than he's letting on about what is happening at her neighbor's.

NEW YORK I LOVE YOU
From the production team that brought us Paris, Je t’aime, comes the next installment in the great cities in the eyes of many directors tour.

BRONSON
Charles Bronson (born Michael Peterson) is the most famous incarcerated, living crimi-nal in the United Kingdom. He has published 11 books on poetry and other subjects including one entitled Solitary Fitness, which details his obsessive small cell fitness rou-tine. He is also an artist. He’s the sort of contemporary celebrity that is famous be-cause our current forms of media are so expansive and insatiable. There’s just some-thing weird about the superstar criminal. .... Read more
CRUDE
The other day I came home from the beach in Malibu and discovered that I had a big black spot on my skin. When I tried to wipe it off it was sticky and I had to rub hard. I picked up my bathing suit top and noticed the same sticky black gunk, and when I smelled it there was no doubt it was petroleum. ... Read more
