Welcome to My Favorite Scene! In this series, IndieWire speaks to actors behind a few of our favorite television performances about their personal-best onscreen moment and how it came together.
When the time finally came to shoot the finale for “Daisy Jones and the Six,” Prime Video’s limited series adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s blockbuster novel detailing the meteoric rise and sudden fall of a fictional 70s rock band, actress Camila Morrone was ready to loose.

The ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ star and the model have been dating since 2017. While they were notoriously private about their romance, the catwalk beauty opened up about dating a Hollywood A-lister when sitting down with WSJ magazine for her Young Hollywood Portfolio feature.
“More exposure leads to more judgment and negativity,” she confided to the magazine in January 2020. “It’s a little bit of a bummer because you’re really trying to do good work and be nice and be a good person, and in the meantime people wish negative things upon you.”

Exclusive: Holy Spider, the Ali Abbasi-directed Iranian serial killer thriller, is in talks for a deal for U.S. rights with Utopia, the U.S. sales and distribution firm owned by Robert Schwartzman and Cole Harper. The provocative Cannes Competition film premiered today on the Croisette to strong applause and positive notices.
CAA Media Finance is brokering the domestic deal while Wild Bunch is handling sales on the film about a serial killer who is killing sex workers in the holy city of Mashhad, a pilgrimage destination (and the second largest city in Iran).

Brooklyn-based Utopia has picked up worldwide sales rights to Hayley Garrigus’ “You Can’t Kill Meme,” a documentary feature which drills down on the political meme warfare enshrined by Donald Trump’s presidential victory in 2016.
The acquisition comes just ahead of the film’s world premiere at Montreal’s Fantasia Film Festival this month. An on demand release in North America is planned for this fall, Utopia announced Monday.
“You Can’t Kill Meme” explores the rise of political meme instrumentation, anticipated by a 2004 visionary non-fiction book by Kirk Packwood called “Memetic Magic: Manipulation of the Root Social Matrix and the Fabric of Reality.”
The film sees Garrigus interview Packwood and other figures in the meme magic world to trace the emergence of figures such as Pepe the Frog, originally a comic book slacker, and Kek, an Egyptian deity of darkness before dawn, in order to understand their centrality for alt-right advocacy.

If your first film is like your first-born child, then the adage would hold that it takes a village to make a movie. Especially when you’re fresh out of film school, just 24 years old, and working on a tight indie budget. From the outside, Emma Seligman’s “Shiva Baby” employs many hallmarks of independent film: It’s set in one day, shot in a single location, and features a breakout performance from a relative newcomer, comedian Rachel Sennott. But behind the scenes, there were other forces unique to indie film: A network of women — producers, actresses, and fellow filmmakers — supporting Seligman at every step.
Darkly funny and pulsing with the energy of a fresh new voice, “Shiva Baby” follows wayward college student Danielle (Sennott) on the day she runs into her sugar daddy Max (Danny Deferrari) at a family shiva. Standing between Danielle and her bagel and lox are...

“Martha: A Picture Story,” a feature documentary about trailblazing graffiti and street photographer Martha Cooper, has been acquired for North American distribution by Utopia.
Cooper was an American photojournalist and the first female staff photographer at the New York Post in the 1970s. She is best known for capturing New York City graffiti in the ’70s and ’80s. Her 1984 book “Subway Art” illustrated the subculture in New York’s transit system.
The commercial failure of the book forced Cooper to leave graffiti behind, moving on to photograph other hidden gems of the city. Only decades later would she realize her influence. Many street artists refer to “Subway Art” as a street art staple. The documentary follows Cooper’s struggle to navigate her way through this new culture while embracing her passion for capturing the creativity that helps people rise above their environment.

When the Oscar nominations were unveiled on January 15, there was a glaring omission of female filmmakers in the category for best director and it still has been top of mind as the awards season has seen a severe drought when it comes to representation of women. In order to put more light on this issue “Give Her a Break” launched a special telecast of the Oscars that will celebrate female filmmakers.
On Friday, “Give Her a Break” announced that they would launch a portal to the Oscars livestream but during the ads, they will showcase trailers of films from female directors. Honey Boy director Alma Har’el tweeted out the link to the portal pointing ou that only five women have been nominated for best director in the 92 years of the Academy Awards.

Things were looking up for women filmmakers in the 2020 awards derby — that is, until the Golden Globes shut out female directors in four major categories, including Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Drama and Musical/Comedy Motion Picture. At first, it was easy to shrug that off as the latest example of the 90-strong Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s hopeless myopia. No, they do not represent the far more inclusive Academy membership, which has been changing its stripes in recent years.
But what will happen at the Oscars? On the plus side, critics’ groups have given visibility and credibility to two films in the race: popular actress-turned-writer-director Greta Gerwig’s follow-up to Oscar-nominated “Lady Bird,” her adaptation of the American classic “Little Women” (Sony), and Lulu Wang’s original family dramedy “The Farewell” (A24).

In “Mickey and the Bear,” Mickey is the kind of kid who’s had to grow up too fast. Looking after her father Hank (James Badge Dale) — who’s both a veteran showing signs of Ptsd and an opioid addict — after her mom’s death from cancer has forced her to take on the duties of the house and to become her father’s caretaker.
She’s the one to make sure there’s dinner on the table, money to buy supplies, and that her dad’s prescriptions are filled. While other kids at her Montana school are wondering what they might do after graduation, Mickey’s halfheartedly resigned that this is her lot in life, to pick up her drunk dad from the local jail or hospital, to worry about him constantly or to watch out for his mood swings.

James Badge Dale is one of the hardest working actors out there. He’s always conscious, and very much cares about, the power of creative collaboration. Badge (as he prefers to be called) is the type of actor who disappears so effortlessly into his roles that every movie buff might think of a different project when his name pops up in conversation. He was Jack Bauer’s partner on the third season of “24,” shot Leo’s brains out in “The Departed,” and was the lead of AMC’s criminally underappreciated series, “Rubicon.”
Following his show’s cancellation, the actor found quite a stride in big-budget studio films, stealing the spotlight of movies ranging from “Iron Man 3” to “The Lone Ranger” and “Flight.” He’s been featured in phenomenal indie gems such as Steve McQueen’s “Shame,” and the recent, under-sung tension boiler, “The Standoff At Sparrow Creek,” which feels...

When “Mickey and the Bear” actors Camila Morrone and James Badge Dale wrapped the emotionally heavy final scenes of the indie drama, they needed a disco party and some Beyonce to decompress.
“It was taxing towards the end when we had to do those big, heavyweight emotional scenes in the last two days of filming,” Morrone told TheWrap’s Beatrice Verhoeven, to which Dale added, “With this film, it goes in a certain direction but we worked so hard to keep it light. We worked so hard to have fun on set.”
The two actors explained that they shot the last scenes of the films chronologically, so wrapping with the final shot that was the most demanding emotionally was a shock to both of them, because, as Attanasio says, there was no sense of “closure.” “It was actually quite shocking to end on that scene,” she added.
