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.
A university for deaf students in Washington, D.C. held a ceremony for two dozen students who over 70 years ago were forced to attend segregated schools and never received their diplomas.
Monday is National Tequila Day. Cheddar News checked in from Toro Loco in downtown Manhattan to take a peek at some of the restaurant's top signature tequila cocktails made by bartender Will Tacuri.
