The 2019 View Conference has added several new speakers, including “Frozen 2” VFX supervisor Steve Goldberg, who will present a preview of the much anticipated “Frozen 2” at the conference ahead of the film’s Nov. 22 opening. Goldberg has worked on several other Disney Animation projects including “Frozen,” “Tangled” and 1992’s “Aladdin,” for which he received a BAFTA nomination.
It was also announced that View Conference will present its Visionary Award to Pixar’s Ralph Eggleston during the weeklong event next month in Turin, Italy. View Conference director Dr. Maria Elena Gutierrez said the conference was honoring Eggleston “for his many years of bringing unparalleled beauty to this world.”
Production designer and filmmaker Eggleston won an Oscar in 2002 for his short film “For the Birds,” and has won three Annie Awards as production designer on Pixar’s “Toy Story,” “Finding Nemo” and “Inside Out.” Earlier this year, he was honored at the Annie...

Project Name: Help Wanted
Asking For: $15,500 through Seed & Spark
Amount Raised Thus Far (At Time Of Post): $3,115
Days Remaining In Campaign (At Time Of Post): 24
Description: In recent years, the generational gap between Baby Boomers and Millennials has come into focus, leading to frequent disagreements between the two cohorts. Sometimes, the extremes of America's two largest generations are forced to work together, and that is the premise that will form the basis of Patrick Hackett's new project Help Wanted.
Help Wanted stars Jim O'Heir, best known for playing the lovable loser Jerry on Parks and Recreation, as a Boomer who finds his skills depreciated in the workforce. With nowhere else to turn, he has no option other than to link up with a Millennial who is attempting to launch a startup out of his parents' house. Through that setup, Hackett and his team will be able to explore the relationship between old and young. "Today’s seniors and millennials are both experiencing “What now?” moments," the project's campaign page reads. "Both are in stages of uncertainty and transition."
Hackett provides more details in his pitch video:
Creator Bio: Hackett is based in Denver. He previously served as the co-producer of Actor Martinez, a work of meta-fiction that earned some film festival appearances.
Best Perk: The $500 perk is expensive but exciting, as it excludes a backstage tour of the famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre. If you ask nicely, maybe you can even etch your name into the rock.

From Columbine to Sandy Hook, school shootings have truly become a modern American terror, and given horror cinema’s historic penchant for addressing the populace’s real-life anxieties in the wake of such tragedies, it was only a matter of time before a filmmaker reflected on this raw topic.
Just as the Saw series and Eli Roth’s Hostel (debatably reactionary films which perhaps unconsciously attempted to ease our psyches in the wake of the stream of beheading and torture videos which emanated from the Middle East commencing with the first Gulf War) drew audience attention, so did George Romero’s 1968 classic feature Night of the Living Dead, via its thinly-veiled commentary on race relations. The amount of sociological discourse inherent in horror is voluminous, and Colorado filmmaker Haylar Garcia is about to throw his hat into the ring, with his forthcoming feature An American Terror (the film’s trailer...
