• 115- Indie Films at Crossroad
•••• When the Sundance Film Festival last came to Park City, it was before COVID-19 drastically affected millions of lives, yes. But also before the entertainment industry ecosystem of which the festival is a part was wildly upended.
•••• In general there is an indication of tough times for indie movies. The unpredictable COVID-19 situation is only part of the blame. Producers and studios are reckoning with long-term trends in audience behavior that were amplified by the pandemic. Moviegoers over 35 -- the prime demographic for festival selections -- are the most reluctant group to return to theaters, especially older women, according to industry data.
•••• In addition to halting the in-person version of the annual Utah conclave in 2021 and 2022, after all, the pandemic caused theatrical filmgoing to cease altogether for a time. And audiences for the arthouse movies that are the festival's lifeblood have been slow to return to cinemas in the years since.
•••• "It kind of sets the tone for the year," said Joana Vicente, CEO of Sundance Institute, citing the festival's traditional January date and penchant for identifying and incubating emerging talent. "It's this opportunity to spotlight all of the amazing new voices, new films that the team is excited about. And we put them out there and it's like we are setting culture. We are really creating the conversation."
•••• "Sundance is a place where we convene so many different groups of people," said Kim Yutani, the festival's director of programming. "It's filmmakers, of course, but then it's also press, it's industry, it's people who just love independent cinema. And to be able to create a program full of new films, in some cases by people who are not household names, to be able to put them into a program and to launch these films with this kind of nexus of constituents, to me that feels like a privilege."
•••• In recent years, streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+ have paid outsized sums of money for titles, only for their nontraditional release strategies and unpredictable algorithms to seem to soften their impact. Meanwhile, distributors with a stronger investment in theatrical exhibition, such as Sony Pictures Classics, Roadside Attractions, Focus Features, Searchlight Pictures, Magnolia Pictures and IFC Films -- all strong presences at Sundance before the streaming services -- were forced to compete with unprecedentedly deep pockets.
•••• Now, as the streamers trim the fat for a shifting economy and the more established players face an uncertain theatrical landscape, most everyone is trying to figuer over what the new normal might be, or even how to define success.
•••• The industry's approach to the festival changes with the times as surely as the topics covered by the films in the festival, which this year includes movies about the immigrant experience, the war in Ukraine and a host of other hot-button issues.
•••• "We change our business model constantly because the business changes constantly," said Tom Bernard, co-president of Sony Pictures Classics, which at last year's festival picked up "Living," starring Bill Nighy, then released it in conjunction with an awards campaign for the lead actor.
•••• "The streamers are going to sort of collide. How many [services] can you subscribe to?" said Bernard. "I think that you're going to have a new version of a cable package, only it's going to be your streamer package. Eventually when the fear of COVID is totaly over, the audience will be back."

• 115-Sundance- Is streaming the new hope for indie films?
PARK CITY, Utah - The Sundance Film Festival is under way since January 20 in a virtual format as the in-person event was cancelled January 5, amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in the state brought on by the omicron variant. Accordingly, the Sundance Film Festival's action is a responsible, community-focused measure in response to the current infection rates in our communities.
•••• In general there is an indication of tough times for indie movies. The unpredictable COVID-19 situation is only part of the blame. Producers and studios are reckoning with long-term trends in audience behavior that were amplified by the pandemic. Moviegoers over 35 -- the prime demographic for festival selections -- are the most reluctant group to return to theaters, especially older women, according to industry data.
•••• Viewers have become used to being able to see a movie at home as soon as it hits theaters, or shortly after, as studios experiment with new distribution models. Many former moviegoers say they don't think they'll go back to theaters. Most living room TVs and sound systems don't replicate the movie house experience, but for many, they're good enough. However, for the little art-house films that dominate the scene at Sundance, the theatrical model seems no longer viable.
•••• At last year's Sundance, Apple paid $25 million for "CODA," a small and heartwarming drama about a teenage girl with a deaf family, for its streaming service Apple TV+. Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures and Hulu paid $12 million for Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson's music documentary "Summer of Soul." Those trends aren't going away soon.
•••• The streamers' ability to spend makes it difficult for traditional specialty distributors to compete for the top titles. Those companies for long have used the promise of a big-screen campaign as a bargaining chip with filmmakers.
•••• According to distribution chiefs a movie with a robust theatrical release can be more profitable and have longer-term cultural resonance than a streaming release. They make money not just at theaters but later through video on-demand and by selling to pay-cable channels and streaming services.
•••• Going forward, you're going to have to look at these films as being produced for the streaming market. That's the only market for them.
•••• This year's Sundance has the hallmarks of another seller's market, given the scarcity of available films and the proliferation of deep-pocketed buyers creating the expectation of bidding wars and eye-popping price tags, despite the lack of standing ovations and glitzy socializing typical of the non-virtual Sundances. •••• More than 80 feature-length films are screening during the Sundance program. Nearly 75% of the pictures showing at the festival did not have a distributor as of Thursday.
•• Streamers are buying up the bigger titles and there's going to be a level of competition this year not seen before."

• 106- SAG-AFTRA Statement on Rust Charges
LOS ANGLES, CA - Jan. 19, 2023 - SAG-AFTRA released the following statement on news regarding charges in the Rust tragedy.
•••• " The death of Halyna Hutchins is a tragedy, and all the more so because of its preventable nature. It is not a failure of duty or a criminal act on the part of any performer. 
••••"The prosecutor's contention that an actor has a duty to ensure the functional and mechanical operation of a firearm on a production set is wrong and uninformed. An actor's job is not to be a firearms or weapons expert. Firearms are provided for their use under the guidance of multiple expert professionals directly responsible for the safe and accurate operation of that firearm.  In addition, the employer is always responsible for providing a safe work environment at all times, including hiring and supervising the work of professionals trained in weapons. 
••••"The Industry Standards for safety with firearms and use of blank ammunition are clearly laid out in Safety Bulletin 1, provided by the Joint Industry-Wide Labor Management Safety Commission. The guidelines require an experienced, qualified armorer to be put in charge of all handling, use, and safekeeping of firearms on set. These duties include "inspecting the firearm and barrel before and after every firing sequence," and "checking all firearms before each use." 
••••"The guidelines do not make it the performer's responsibility to check any firearm. Performers train to perform, and they are not required or expected to be experts on guns or experienced in their use. The industry assigns that responsibility to qualified professionals who oversee their use and handling in every aspect.  Anyone issued a firearm on set must be given training and guidance in its safe handlin g and use, but all activity with firearms on a set must be under the careful supervision and control of the professional armorer and the employer."

SAG-AFTRA represents approximately 160,000 actors, announcers, broadcast journalists, dancers, DJs, news writers, news editors, program hosts, puppeteers, recording artists, singers, stunt performers, voiceover artists, influencers and other entertainment and media professionals.

• 101- Georgia Bulldogs beat T.C.U., 65-7, at Sofi Stadium - By Gary Sunkin

TCU was facing Georgia in the final -- a college football juggernaut -- but seemed to perhaps have a chance with a unique defensive style, a Heisman finalist quartrack and one of the best receivers in the nation.
•••• T.C.U. uncharacteristically, was not the resilient team it had been all yar. The Horned Frogs had won five games in comeback fashion, often down double digits, but on Monday night seemed to lay down as Georgia ran up the score.
••• On Moday night, on the biggest stage in one of the biggest games for the Big 12 in recent memory, T.C.U suffered arguably the most embarrassing defeat in College Football Playfoff history, losing, 65-7 in a game that was mostly not competitive.

• 102- Nathan B. Stubblefield, the Man History Overheard
By Harvey Geller
•••• In Life's current Bicentennial issue, radio checks in, at #86 on the hot "100 Events That Shaped America," 19 buttons behind Bell's telephone. Erroneously, Life lists Guglielmo Marcon's dots and dashes as the first wireless broadcast, a fable echoed by the World Almanac and Encyclopedia Britannica. It's a forgivable mumpsimus, since the evidence offered on the following pages has not, until now, appeared in any national publication.
•••• The birth of broadcasting is a bizarre soap opera saga, a lacrymal legend of mystery, machination, ephemeral enshrinement, decline, disillusionment and disaster. It's denouncement dissolves six miles north of Murray, Kentucky, in a two-room shanty constructed of pine and cornstalks, where radio's uncelebrated architect is discovered 48 hours after his death, his records scattered, his equipment destroyed, his brain partly eaten by rats. Even local radio fails to mention his demise. He is Nathan Beverly Stubblefield, the man history over-heard and then overlooked.

• 114- Scott B. Whitenack-Stubblefield Esq., great-grand son of wireless telephone inventor, Nathan B. Stubblefield, died - By Troy Cory
Scott Bryan Whitenack passed away untimely on September 18, in Los Angeles, CA.
•••• Scott, aka Scott Stubblefield, was one of four children with siblings, Alden, Keith, and Priscilla. (His brother Keith pre-ceded him in death at the age of 32). His parents were Troy Cory Stubblefield, an entertainer and author and Dorothy Swafford, owner of a furniture and antiques retail store. Scott's children are Steven, David and grand-children, William, Bruce, Cora and Max, borne to Steven and Skylark. Scott's great-grandfather is Nathan B. Stubblefield, the inventor of Radio, in 1882, and patent holder of the wireless telephone (1908) and his great-great-great .... grandparents were - John and Priscilla Alden who were part of the pilgrimage who sailed on the Mayflower to Plymouth Rock from England in 1620.

(The Stubblefield story is incorporated within several photographs and denotes of and about S Scott to show how their personal ambitions and dreams parallel each other - both died - before their dreams and ambitions were fulfilled)


During the time he studied for the State Bar, Scott lived with Josie and myself on our family estate in Pasadena. He passed the State Bar the first time and was among only 33% to do so.
The balance of time was spent doing cinematography for my TV shows, which he considered an artistic outlet besides his major life's work, in the field of law. After he passed the State Bar he handled numerous legal cases and ended up working as an associate lawyer with Melvin Belli with whom he engaged in several cases and won a lawsuit that became precedent case law. Whitenack was committed to his legal profession for over three decades.•
r••• If you needed legal advice or help with a motion filing, Scott was there with his trusty law books. He was very intelligent, outspoken and an independent thinker.
•••• He also was a family man, who loved hiking and scuba diving, a good game of tennis and enjoyed bringing his sons to Paramount Ranch for regular family outings and Father's Day get-togethers.
•••• As to his love for cinematography he videotaped additional segments for the movie "Christmas around the World." Scott later became my producer and cinematographer for "To Catch a Dream" filmed in Europe. The video project brought him and the production team to Paris, Venice, Cannes, Munich and Salzburg. Said footage with perfect picture-book pans of the Eiffel Tower, the Seine River, the leaning Tower of Pisa and the Venice Bridge of Sigh, is a legacy he left behind for us.
•••• In the early 90s during the writing of our 4-volume set of books entitled "the SMART-DAAF Boys" about the invention of radio and the the wireless telephone, Scott lent a helpful hand in giving his legal aspect of his great-grandfather Nathan Stubblefield's copyrighted and patented invention. He also was the co-author of "Bank America, the Tortfeasor." •

••••• He leaves behind his father, Troy Cory-Stubblefield, his mother Dorothy Steele, sister Priscilla Stubblefield Cory, brother and sister-in-law Alden and Sara Stubblefield, step mother Josie Cory-Stubblefield, ex-wife Lore Engel Whitenack, sons David and Steven, daughter-in law Skylar, and great-grandchildren, William, Bruce, Cora and Max; Nephew Ryan Whitenack, and niece Jenny Wharton. His brother Keith pre-ceded him in death at the age of 32).
