Singer-songwriter Sophia Knapp allowed her vocals to take center stage on 2012’s Into the Waves, and now she has integrated visuals with a music video for the track “Close to Me.” “‘Close To Me’ was shot in L.A. a year ago,” says Knapp. “Two days straight of mayhem and fun. Perhaps under the influence of bringing a love song to life, I fell hard for L.A., and now call it my home.” The video was directed by Daniel Katz and inspired by A Man and A Woman, the 1966 French film. “Daniel Katz races cars himself, so he hand picked...

Longtime publicist Nicolette Aizenberg has taken on the meaty job of steering publicity for newly formed distributor A24. The New York-based former 42 West senior exec already has A24’s first two films, the recent acquisitions “Ginger & Rosa” and “A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III,” on the runway in need of attention. As head of publicity, Aizenberg has several challenges right out of the gate. Sally Potter’s “Ginger and Rosa” has emerged from its Telluride and Toronto film festival premieres with strong critical response and awards whispers pushing Elle Fanning’s lead performance. With A24 principals David Fenkel, Daniel Katz and John Hodges already committing to an Oscar-qualifying run in December for the coming-of-age drama, Aizenberg has very little time to get an awards campaign running. That the film is the company’s first release carries its own pressures, but Aizenberg was already handling...

Brand new distributor A24 has jumped on its second acquisition, Sally Potter’s period coming-of-age drama “Ginger & Rosa,” which had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival earlier this month before showing at Toronto as well. In a bold gambit, the company plans to release the film before the end of the year to qualify for awards consideration, with a theatrical release to follow early in 2013. "We fell in love with 'Ginger & Rosa,'" said the A24 team of Daniel Katz, John Hodges and David Fenkel. "We’ve been fans of Sally's for a long time. She has crafted a touching, heartfelt and extraordinary work anchored by an absolutely incredible performance by Elle Fanning, which already has a tremendous amount of love from audiences and journalists alike."

We unfortunately don't put enough of the spotlight on film activity in countries such as Argentina (something we'd like to change) so whenever there is a piece of news about filmmakers, especially those that have presented their work in the big five festivals then we like to make a mention of it here. Argentinean actress and filmmaker Ana Katz, who Variety describes with fellow filmmakers Lucia Puenzo and Celina Murga, as belonging to the Second Wave of New Argentine Cinema, is getting ready to lense Los Marziano in the new year (Feb. 15 in Buenos Aires to be exact). - We unfortunately don't put enough of the spotlight on film activity in countries such as Argentina (something we'd like to change) so whenever there is a piece of news about filmmakers, especially those that have presented their work in the big five festivals then we like to make a mention of it here.

NEW YORK -- Ben Stambler has been appointed director of acquisitions at ThinkFilm. The indie studio also promoted Michael Baker to vp and David Laub to manager of acquisitions.
Stambler, who arrives at the company after serving for three years as Magnolia Pictures' manager of acquisitions, will report to head of U.S. theatrical Mark Urman and senior vp acquisitions and business affairs Randy Manis. He replaces ThinkFilm founding exec Daniel Katz, who left the company to run financial service firm Guggenheim Partners' new film financing initiative.
"As our company elevates to the next level, it is crucial to fortify the ranks with smart and aggressive executives," Manis said. "Stambler's background and training -- and the fact that he doesn't own a suit -- make him a perfect fit for us as we begin to acquire bigger films and to co-finance and produce a portion of our slate."
Five-year ThinkFilm veteran Baker has been promoted from director of acquisitions and development.
