iW bloggers/film bloggers & friends informal gathering event planning in progress - Thu 8/23 night is event date

iW's Eugene H. got in touch today about the post I made several days ago re: doing a live meeting of some or most of the bloggers who post at iW's blogs page (and other film/indie film bloggers in NYC who are interested in meeting up, and friends, of course - a group hangout event built around at least a few of the iW bloggers core is basically the plan).

Here's the latest re: the event:

Date - Thursday, August 23 (let us know if this is a good day iW bloggers)

Time of Day: night, exact start time to be determined - 9 PM?

Place: tbd, Eug. suggests a bar, & the event to begin after the Apple Store SoHo event re: Generation DIY screening series happening that night. Suggest some possible bars iW bloggers - I guess a place close to Apple Store SoHo would be good.

More info. coming soon, obviously

Looking forward to meeting up w/ some iW bloggers & friends. And of course hanging out in the "recently liberated for indie, DIY, & amature filmmaking & tourist photography :)" city of New York.

Leave a comment re: these plans iW bloggers, if u r interested in this event - thanks!

Notes to filmmakers, distributors & other interested folks - this event might be a chance to meet some of your favorite indie film bloggers in a casual setting. I am sure at least a couple of these people can be talked or bribed into writing repeatedly, endlessly about your project (specially if it is awesome) for months to come :)

Written notes/review plus live video review of By the Stream (2025) by Hong Sang-soo

By the stream review - from Lincoln Center, NYC viewing - no spoilers The hype is real - By the Stream is very good by Hong movies standards and also normal comedy-drama standards. There were like 30-40 people at Lincoln Center for the 1PM Fri 8/8/25 (opening day) screening of By the Stream.  People in that neighborhood are serious about their foreign films. Cinematography is very simple, from a canon XA small sensor HD cam, I could see familiar details, how those cams film the moon, scenes at night - it’s like a 1980s or 1990s early indie cinematography style that we do not see much these days - works well for Hong’s movies. No color grading, very simple video/cinematography. A more fleshed out movie than some recent Hong movies. In the movie a skit is prepped, and we actually get to see it performed. A couple of serious issues are discussed.  Some unexpected, light things happen. It’s a comedy-drama chill hangout movie w/ creative South Korean people - good times. Probably o...

The case for using AI for indie film reviews (if tech is developed to be able to write good reviews)

Regardless of how it is presented to the public, everything in US film (and probably worldwide) - Hollywood and indie - is about money.  If you have the money, you can make and release films, buy ads in publications, and get reviews.  There are 200+ reviews for a mediocre Hollywood movie now at Rotten Tomatoes site - for the new Fantastic Four movie. At the same time there were less than 10 reviews for an indie movie that was playing at IFC Center in NYC last week. Outside of even IFC runs, there are 100s of indie movies - fiction features and doc features - that come out on VOD and YouTube every week these days that do not get reviewed and do not get any articles written about them. With some effort I and many other indie filmmakers are able to get some reviews for our movies. However, the vast majority of new indie films are not reviewed. Film is art, it is easier to make and release films now than it was in the past, and all films deserve reviews and articles about them. ...
