Buried (2010)

  Buried is a horror film by Spanish filmmaker Rodrigo Cortes that received publicity due simply to its one and only star, Ryan Reynolds.  Throw a big name actor in a movie about a guy stuck in a coffin underground and it’ll probably get pulled out of many a RedBox.  I was intrigued by this movie’s trailer months ago and decided to watch it because I wanted to know if I could be entertained by a story revolving around one character, who is in every scene, confined to a 7’ x 3’ set.

The New Stepdad wins at SATO48!
avatar

Posted on May 11, 2011 by A5films

Springfield’s own SATO (Springfield and the Ozarks) 48 hour film competition held their awards ceremony at the Gillioz last week on Cino de Mayo!  The New Stepdad took home THREE awards including Best DIrecting, Art Direction, and Audience Favorite.

In other news, one of the filmmakers in the team responsible for The New Stepdad was kicked out of the ceremony shorty after he accepted the award for Art Direction.  It was his birthday and he was wearing a wig.  There were several glass bottles heard rolling on the floor during awkward moments in the evening’s events that included a high school dance squad’s routine and a weird, trippy rock band trio.  Loud, obnoxious cheering and drunken acceptance speech insights also debuted during the awards.  Carver M. School a.k.a. Carver Middle School made itself known and least forgotten.
