Updated with more signatories: Reaction continues to The Zone of Interest director Jonathan Glazer’s acceptance speech after his film won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film this month.
Some 1,215 Jewish show business professionals now have signed a letter denouncing the filmmaker’s speech, in which he decried the “dehumanization” of the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas. See the updated full list below.
“We refute our Jewishness being hijacked for the purpose of drawing a moral equivalence between a Nazi regime that sought to exterminate a race of people, and an Israeli nation that seeks to avert its own extermination,” the letter states (read it in full in full below).
This list includes among its signatories Eli Roth and Amy Sherman-Palladino, Amy Pascal, Debra Messing, Gail Berman, Hawk Koch, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gary Barber, Lawrence Bender, Tovah Feldshuh and Rod Lurie.

As locations go, the desert motel has long been an evocative symbol for transience in movie narratives, atmospherically suitable for all manner of escape scenarios and reckonings. It’s also a conveniently economy-minded setting for any micro-budgeted mood piece with the existential on its mind, which Korean-American writer-director Chris Chan Lee’s perplexing “Silent River” most assuredly is, even if its self-conscious mix of the mysterious and the mundane never quite coalesces.
Lee is most known for his 1997 debut about Asian-American high school kids, “Yellow,” which helped introduce John Cho to audiences and, along with a handful of other films that year (including the Cho-starring, Justin Lin–co-directed “Shopping for Fangs”) signaled a new indie visibility for Asian-American filmmakers. (They were dubbed the “Class of ’97.”) “Silent River” is only Lee’s third feature, which may be why it shows he’s still very much an indie filmmaker at heart, preferring...

Chris Chan Lee is a Korean American independent filmmaker. In his debut feature “Yellow” he told a story of Korean-American teens, whose graduate night turns into a thriller. His second full-length movie “Silent River”, screening at San Diego Asian Film Festival in Asian American Panorama section, doesn’t focus on Asian-Americans or ethnicity-related issues. The only spoken language is English, and while the main characters have Asian roots, the fact bears no meaning to the storyline. You could swap them with anyone.
“Silent River” is screening at San Diego Asian Film Festival
The movie starts with a man (West Liang) traveling in his car through the American desert. Eerie music sounds in the background and a landscape of yellow-red rocks, dried tree trunks and sands add to the uncanny atmosphere. A man arrives at a parking lot of a cramped motel and limping, carries his suitcase to unpack it in a generic room.

As Deane winds down his tenure as co-host with Brian (two episodes left!), the boys revisit the long-debated controversy of composers working for free and the recent trend of composers paying out of their own pockets to score films just to build their professional portfolios. Deane and Brian also look at the recent repeal of net neutrality in America and give their initial thoughts on the newest entry to the Star Wars pantheon, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, scored by the legendary John Williams.

None of us are the same.
You’ll never have to worry about competing with John Williams. I know what you are thinking: “No kidding, dude!”
No, I mean it. John Williams will never sound like you can. He’ll never sound like me. He’s not able. You might say, “Um, Deane, excuse me, but John Williams is arguably the single greatest composer living today. He can do anything.” To which I would respond, “Yes he is… and no he cannot.”
John Williams can never be Deane Ogden, or James Newton Howard, , or John Debney, or Brian Ralston, or Alexandre Desplat, or Sharon Farber, or Chris Young, or Adrian Ellis, or Hans Zimmer, or Brian Satterwhite, or Richard Bellis, or Tim Montijo, or Alan Silvestri. As long as he has written for the screen, as hard as he might try, as much as he may study, he’ll never get there.

I was talking with a friend, who, on behalf of his brother, was asking for advice on getting into the industry. Specifically, his brother is the musician in the family while my friend is a more traditional businessman who sells product. My pal asked me, “How do you determine what to charge? I know that in my industry I have to do an analysis of what a product costs me to produce and how much profit margin I need to make to survive. If a music mix takes a certain number of hours and you can determine its cost to show the client, why can you not get people to pay for that?” This inevitably led to the train of thought that you charge what you are worth — a topic we have discussed here at SCOREcast many times in the past. But upon further discussion, I determined that in advising...

Okay. Who doesn’t love La Scoring Strings? [Crickets] Yeah… that’s what we thought.

Here’s the latest—straight from the source!

I always get a little bit reflective and introspective during the end of each year, and particularly during the holidays. I’ve spent a lot of time this week looking back at what we’ve accomplished together with this amazing global community of post-production professionals, and I’ve realized something: Since we are all in the thick of projects most of the time, it’s easy to overlook and forget about obvious blessings.
As we close out an incredible 2010 here at SCOREcast, I wanted to make good use of the rare downtime I have at the moment to update you all on a few great things that are happening around here, many of which were designed with You in mind for the upcoming year. I think these things are huge victories for the SCOREcast community that are worth celebrating and memorializing as we launch into what looks like a promising year for our industry overall.

I don’t spend a lot of time online. I’m sure I should, and I bet there is some self-appointed social networking “expert” out there that would scold me for my lack of attention to online marketing. I don’t have a “dot com” and I don’t (think?) I have a “brand.” In fact, I barely have a business card. You should see it—it’s a simple white card in black Arial Bold that says, “Jai Meghan : Scoring Assistant”, with my phone number. Problem is, the phone number is not in service anymore, so underneath the crossed out phone number (in Sharpie, of course!) is my new Gmail address that was only set up a few months ago. By the time I finally remember to log in and check my Facebook messages—and honestly, I’m not even sure that’s what Facebook is really for...

I frequently get emails from burgeoning composers and new Los Angeles transplants either looking for a composer assistant position or just advice on breaking into the industry. I often agree to meet them (usually over lunch) and invariably get asked if it's beneficial to assist and/or ghostwrite for a bigger name composer. The advice I give them is almost always the same. It comes from my own years of experience working hard to establish myself in the composer world. A feat that I feel is not only difficult, but one most all of us are ever in the constant pursuit of doing.

Don't Fade Away, starring Beau Bridges, Mischa Barton, Ryan Kwanten and Ja Rule, gets an original score by up and coming composer Brian Ralston, whose previous credits include 9/Tenths and Graduation. Ralston was brought in late in post-production and had less than a full week to compose and record the score. Don't Fade Away is a drama about a man who lost track of who he is when pursuing a musical career in New York. Luke Kasdan is the nephew of legendary filmmaker Lawrence Kasdan and Don't Fade Away is his first feature film.
