    LOS ANGELES --

    The International Cinematographers Guild (ICG, IATSE Local 600) has named eight honorees for the 2017 Annual Emerging Cinematographer Awards (ECA).

    The collection of short films will be showcased at the ECA premiere event at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) Theater in Los Angeles on September 24, 2017. Screenings in three major U.S. cities follow the event: the SVA Theatre in New York on October 29, the SCADshow in Atlanta on November 5 and the Logan Theatre in Chicago on November 12.

    The honorees, who have been selected from 104 submissions are:

    • David Auerbach, 1st Assistant Camera (for the short titled Red Lopez)
    • George Billinger, Operator (The Gate)
    • Kristen Correll, 2nd Assistant Camera (La Sirena)
    • Daniel Friedberg, 2nd Assistant Camera (LoveBird)
    • Michael Lockridge, Operator ((le) Rebound)
    • Jeff Powers, Operator (Will Wilson)
    • Roham Rahmanian, Digital Imaging Technician (Break the Will)
    • Jen Schneider, Operator (Unbound)

    The purpose of the ECAs is to nurture talent within the Guild and to give promising cinematographers the crucial exposure they need to succeed in the motion picture industry.

    Members are asked to submit films they have photographed with a running time of 30 minutes or less. The ECAs are open to any member of the Guild who is not already classified as a DP. The chosen filmmakers are journeymen, in their craft, who are performing above their current job classification.

    The films are selected by a panel of ICG members from across the country and can be seen by a wider audience at film festivals.

    Steven Poster, ASC, president of the ICG, said, “The Emerging Cinematographers Awards is a terrific opportunity for our talented members. The ICG wants to support and help boost their careers as they transition into cinematographers.”

    Jimmy Matlosz, chairman of the Guild’s ECA committee, added, “As we head into our 21st year as an awards show, we continue to gather steam and raise the bar. This year’s crop of films, which are chosen by a vast array of union skilled crafts people (judges) once again proves that we have some of the most talented emerging filmmakers with the skills and discipline to prove it.”

    Is “Glicked” The New “Barbenheimer”? “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” Hit Theater Screens

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    "Barbenheimer" was a phenomenon impossible to manufacture. But, more than a year later, that hasn't stopped people from trying to make "Glicked" — or even "Babyratu" — happen.

    The counterprogramming of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" in July 2023 hit a nerve culturally and had the receipts to back it up. Unlike so many things that begin as memes, it transcended its online beginnings. Instead of an either-or, the two movies ultimately complemented and boosted one another at the box office.

    And ever since, moviegoers, marketers and meme makers have been trying to recreate that moment, searching the movie release schedule for odd mashups and sending candidates off into the social media void. Most attempts have fizzled (sorry, "Saw Patrol" ).

    This weekend is perhaps the closest approximation yet as the Broadway musical adaptation "Wicked" opens Friday against the chest-thumping sword-and-sandals epic "Gladiator II." Two big studio releases (Universal and Paramount), with one-name titles, opposite tones and aesthetics and big blockbuster energy — it was already halfway there before the name game began: "Wickiator," "Wadiator," "Gladwick" and even the eyebrow raising "Gladicked" have all been suggested.

    "'Glicked' rolls off the tongue a little bit more," actor Fred Hechinger said at the New York screening of "Gladiator II" this week. "I think we should all band around 'Glicked.' It gets too confusing if you have four or five different names for it."

    As with "Barbenheimer," as reductive as it might seem, "Glicked" also has the male/female divide that make the fan art extra silly. One is pink and bright and awash in sparkles, tulle, Broadway bangers and brand tie-ins; The other is all sweat and sand, blood and bulging... Read More
