Loss is something just about any audience member can relate to, but it’s not necessarily something that everyone can mine for art. Nell Teare, the writer-director-star of the indie film “Bolivar,” faced this challenge head on in telling the story of Maggie (Teare), a professor trying to resume her career and family life after a crushing personal tragedy and divorce. She stifles her sadness by downing glasses of wine and managing a one-night stand with Jake, a bartender (Chris Petrovski) who gets pulled into her increasingly odd behavior.
In a Q&a with TheWrap’s Awards Executive Editor Steve Pond on Aug. 31, Teare was joined by her costar Robert Pine, producing partner Jerry Cope, editor Noah Harald, and casting director Jamie Castro for a special screening in L.A. During the discussion, the writer-director explained that she drew from personal experience to tell this story.

Entertainment journalists and industry professionals lamented the disappearing art-house film scene in Los Angeles following Landmark Theaters’ announcement that it will shutter its Pico Boulevard location at the end of May.
In a statement to media Wednesday, Landmark Theaters president Kevin Holloway said that the location has tried to extend its tenancy to no avail.
“We send our deepest appreciation to the Pico staff, guests, and the filmmaking community for their support over the years. We’re exploring opportunities to expand our Los Angeles footprint, which we hope to be able to share more on soon,” he added.
Many decried The Landmark Pico’s closing as yet another sign of small movie theaters losing out to corporate purchasing power on part of national chains like AMC. Additionally, people drew comparisons to another significant blow to L.A.’s local indie fukn scene, that of Arclight Cinemas — as well as its sister chain,...

What kind of twisted experience must director Noah Harald have endured to inspire the anti-heroine of Lila Carter? As the Starlet, Lila takes the remorseless, manipulative, sleep-with-anyone-who-gets-me-to-the-next-rung starlet cliché to a whole new plateau, all with winking Southern affectations. It took me a while to figure out the facial resemblance, but Ellie Gerber’s Lila has some Britney in her with the smile and spunk of a (young) Mary Lou Retton. Add a whole heap of Melrose Place, and you’ll begin to get a sense of this belle-on-wheels. In the beginning of this Filmaka web series, Lila says goodbye to daddy and leaves Sweetwater, Texas with her boyfriend with the fully self-aware conceit of conquering Hollywood, and conquer she does. During her first night in California, Lila ditches her hometown sweetheart like excess baggage and sexes her way in to a velvet-roped club, where she meets, and then services,...
