As reported in the Hollywood Reporter and elsewhere this week, we will be directing Uma Thurman in a feature film about Anita Bryant.
We've been interested in Ms. Bryant's story for years -- Rob since making
The Times of Harvey Milk -- and we're excited that this project is finally getting traction. The script is by Chad Hodge, who visited Anita at her Oklahoma home as part of his research.
We're thrilled that Lovelace has been selected as the opening night film at the Provincetown International Film Festival on June 19th. Can't wait - we love this festival!

Our new short documentary The Battle of amfAR will have its New York premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 24th, 5:30pm at the SVA Theater 2 in Chelsea. Rob and Jeffrey will be there along with some special guests.

Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor and research scientist Mathilde Krim join forces to create the first national AIDS research foundation and change the course of the epidemic. Thanks to amfAR's support of groundbreaking research, today we are closer than ever to finding a cure.
Sad to hear the news. From our research, Harry was possibly the only porn-related acquaintance that Linda had good things to say about.

Eccles Center in Park City, Utah—known to Sundance veterans as “The Big House”—is so massive that my first thought was that the Rolling Stones would have had a tough time selling this joint out at 10 p.m. on a Tuesday night in the middle of a frigid January...

Berlin, Day 2: Our big premiere, in the Friedrichstadt-Palast, Berlin's biggest venue. The house was packed, and the film looked and sounded great on the biggest screen we've seen it on.
