The Trial of the Dark Knight

I had the pleasure of sitting down with fellow FilmNerds blog contributors Corey Craft of the Tuscaloosa News and Craig Hamilton of Citizen Craig to talk about all things Batman. Check out our epic, 3+ hour podcast!

News! N3rd is going to the Sidewalk Film Festival!

I just sent this to all of our e-mail subscribers. Take a look at all the latest Wonder Mill news!

Hello, everyone-

I've got a few quick updates about Wonder Mill activities in the coming months.

• If you haven't heard, The Nocturnal Third has been accepted to the Sidewalk Film Festival in Birmingham, and will be screening at 10:30 AM on Saturday, August 25th at the Hill Arts Center. We haven't had a film at Sidewalk in a number of years, so this is a big deal for us. We hope to see many of you at the screening.

• Thanks so much to those of you who have been able to donate and spread the word in the wake of our Kickstarter campaign. Your donations have paid for all of our marketing and printing costs for Sidewalk, and we really, REALLY appreciate the generosity.

• Beyond Sidewalk, we're going to be operating a bit differently than we have in the past few years. Stephen Lucas and myself are loosely developing a short film project to potentially shoot in Los Angeles some time in 2013. Lee is still working on our next feature film screenplay, and has been developing a very cool adventure series project called The Foragers, along with other awesome writing projects. I'm also in conversation with some folks about shooting a local short, which we'd love to work on with as many of you as possible. Although the members of Wonder Mill are spread out regionally and creatively, we're still all looking forward to upcoming collaborations.

That's about it, folks. Thanks again for your support and generosity of time, money, and attention!
