It’s a poignant time to be talking about the social effects of the digital world on the real world. The burning desire we seem to have developed for the internet to like our #blessed selfies and photos of our avocado toast can quickly lead to full blown social anxiety if left unchecked.
This is exactly what New York based writer and director Lizzie Logan challenges in her new indie rom-com People People, which follows the story of an internet obsessed millennial and vlogger named Kat (Natalie Walker) who also happens to have not left her apartment in a long time. A very long time. Self-diagnosed as agoraphobic, Kat’s only non-family real world interaction is with her delivery guy, Colin (David Rosenberg).
With People People now available to rent/buy on VOD, Lizzie Logan talks about the ups and downs of independent filmmaking and how People People successfully came together with a talented team working on a next-to-nothing budget. People People has screened at the Citizen Jane Film Festival, the Lift-Off NYC Film Festival and the deadCenter Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Narrative Feature.

Talented female technicians often get overlooked, not because they aren’t every bit as qualified in their role but because they are not under the noses of those with hiring power.
“Work begets work,” as co-director of the Women’s Weekend Film Challenge, Katrina Medoff says. It’s natural to hire a safe bet for a project, to hire who you know. So how do we get more women in film into profession roles and change the gender bias of the film industry?
This is just one of the reasons the Women’s Weekend Film Challenge, a grass roots initiative out of New York, is making a real change for women in film. Gathering together passionate and proactive women to create and complete a short film within the space of a single weekend. It’s the ultimate filmmaker challenge with far reaching benefits for its female participants.
The Women’s Weekend Film Challenge has two main goals:
1. To help female filmmakers network with each other so that they can hire and recommend one another in the future.
2. To tell women’s stories through film with women behind and in front of the camera.
I spoke with co-directors Katrina Medoff and Tracy Sayre on the eve of their next challenge about to take place in New York.

We are committed to creating space for female voices and visions, whether monstrous or heroic, in the horror genre.

I enjoy Chris Pine as much as anyone. He even blew me away recently with his performance in Hell or High Water, I stopped and thought 'wow this guy has real acting chops, he's not just the good looking hero in Wonder Woman and Star Trek.' That aside, seeing him in medieval Scotland was just strange. Sullen and full of long distance staring, I just didn't see this role in him at all. Sorry Piney. See you again in Wonder Woman 2 soon though!
