The Cinematical Roundtable: Live from SXSW with James Rocchi
Filed under: Action », Comedy », Documentary », Drama », Independent », Thrillers », SXSW », Mystery & Suspense », Festival Reports »

Welcome to the second episode of The Cinematical Roundtable, our latest podcast here at the site, where we'll speak with writers and readers alike about the latest in film offerings. Joining us this round is James Rocchi, formerly of Cinematical and currently of MSN Movies and countless other outlets, as we tackle several of the more independent titles that graced us with their presence at this year's SXSW Film Festival.
Again, please bear with the overwhelming ambiance of the International House of Pancakes (a South By staple, and not always by choice). In the weeks to come, the podcast will actually be produced in much more conducive conditions, but when in Austin, keeping it weird is the name of the game. With that in mind, your feedback is appreciated, and feel free to spread the word. Preferably the word 'podcast'. And 'Cinematical'. Yeah, that is two words, what of it?
That's what I thought...

Tamara Tunie Will 'See You in September'
Filed under: Comedy », Independent », Romance », Casting », Scripts », Cinematical Indie »
When I hear the words "See You in September," I always think of second grade, and how my teacher would sing those words to the kids who weren't doing their work, insinuating that they'll not be advancing to third grade. Now, those immortal words are making their way to the big screen, but as much as I would love to see the teacherly serenade in film, this new indie movie is of the dysfunctional adult variety. Tamara Tunie, who you might recognize from Law and Order: SVU, is making her directorial debut with the indie romcom See You in September.The feature comes from the producer trio of Tunie, Jennifer Maloney and Joe Cilibrasi, who have been putting out theater like the Tony-winner, Spring Awakening. An idea of Cilibrasi and written by Victoria Rinaldi, September is about a successful woman in New York City who is getting therapy to work through her commitment fears. She's on the verge of a breakthrough when her therapist takes a month-long vacation for the month of August, so she puts together group therapy sessions for others, like her, who have been temporarily ditched by their vacationing doctors. The film boasts names like Estella Warren, who broke onto the scene with 2001's Perfume, Weeds slacker brother-in-law Justin Kirk and David Eigenberg, Sex and the City's Steve Brady. Sounds good to me!
