Getting "Halfway There" Into The Sundance Film Festival
For the first time ever, the Sundance Film Festival is featuring a category dedicated to episodic content. One of the inaugural selections of the category is "Halfway There," starring Matthew Lillard and Blythe Danner.
Lillard, as well as writer Nick Morton and director Rick Rosenthal, describe the process of creating the new series. "Halfway There" chronicles recovering addict Jimmy Bishop (Lillard) as his sober living facility teeters on the edge of bankruptcy. He is forced to take in his wealthy alcoholic mother (Danner) as a client.
Morton, Lillard, and Rosenthal also discuss the fact that Sundance is showcasing episodic content for the first time ever.
Wondering what to watch this weekend? We suggest Mario & Luigi, Meghan Markle before royalty, a bust out of jail guide and perhaps the greatest musician ever!
A new study shows different strategies may be effective at motivating people to donate, apart from all that “sadvertising.” The study from Nathan Chan, assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Casey Wichman, assistant professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, found that people in good moods are more likely to donate to a charitable cause.
Actor Randall Park is making his feature debut as a director with the upcoming film, "Shortcomings," and spoke with Cheddar News about the movie. Other cast members also joined to talk about the film.
