Press Conference Interview With The Cast And Director Of Lee Daniels’ The Butler
Standing strong in one’s beliefs, especially during decades of political and racial turmoil, can be a difficult process for anyone, particularly for a person continuously contending with discrimination over their race. But strong conviction in defending their values and freedoms can help pave the way for radical change. This is certainly the case in the new biographical drama Lee Daniels' The Butler, which chronicles the trials and tribulations of an African American butler in the White House during almost 30-years of service in the 20th century, as he supports ethnic equality.

Press Conference Interview With Ashton Kutcher And Joshua Michael Stern On Jobs
Successfully chronicling the emotional and professional highs and lows of an esteemed entrepreneur who invigoratingly helped shape modern technology in a telling biopic can be a taunting task for actors filmmakers and alike. The expectations were set even higher for actor Ashton Kutcher and director Joshua Michael Stern, who are both known more for their comedy than intense drama. But through dedicated research and commitment, the two showcased the eccentricities and creativeness of computer engineer Steve Jobs in the new biography drama, Jobs.

Interview With Christina Voros On The Director: An Evolution In Three Acts
Fighting for a promotion in one of the world's largest and most well-known fashion houses means not only obtaining creative control over the brand's line, but also receiving the attention for having the ability to maintain the company. But Gucci's creative director, Frida Giannini, would much rather forgo the glamor and publicity of working for such a respected brand, and instead keep her personal and professional lives separate. To showcase the director's equally creative and private lives, filmmaker Christina Voros helmed the new documentary, The Director: An Evolution in Three Acts, which maintains Giannini's delicate balance of successfully doing her work, without constantly thriving on the press and publicity that surrounds the company.

Exclusive Interview With The Directors Of V/H/S/2
Creating a new, unique take on the found footage horror subgenre has become increasingly difficult in recent years. For every successful and clever Paranormal Activity, there's an equally unimaginative counterpart, like The Devil Inside. Sequels in the genre, such as the Paranormal Activity follow-ups, in particular haven't fared as well with critics and audiences, as the storylines and visuals seem to become repetitive and uninspired. But the new horror thriller, V/H/S/2, has actually earned higher praise than its predecessor, last year's horror film V/H/S, in part to its cunning visuals and more cohesive storyline.Several of the filmmakers who worked on the short films in V/H/S/2, including Simon Barrett, Adam Wingard, Jason Eisener and Eduardo Sanchez, sat down in New York City during the Tribeca Film Festival to talk about making the sequel.

Roundtable Interview With Penn Badgley On Greetings From Tim Buckley
People can, at times, simultaneously feel conflicting emotions of love and hate towards any person they have an intimate relationship with, particularly their parents. While it can be difficult to understand other people's motivations, people learn to come to terms and understand the actions others take as they mature. This is the intense motivating factor in director Daniel Algrant's new drama, Greetings From Tim Buckley, which is based on the true story of the title musician. In the film, Penn Badgley plays Tim Buckley's son, Jeff, who doesn't fully understand the respect his late father garnered until he truly looks into his father's past.

Exclusive Interview With Caradog James On The Machine
Creating a visually stunning, thought-provoking sci-fi thriller can be a challenge for many filmmakers, particularly on a small budget and short shooting schedule. But writer-director Caradog James overcame these challenges with his latest film, The Machine, which had its world premiere last month at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. The filmaker incorporated visionary special effects and stunts into a plot that philosophically questions what would happen if the technology meant to help humanity became the root of all its challenges and problems.

Roundtable Interview With Jack Reynor And Lenny Abrahamson On What Richard Did
The transition for many teens from acting out in their adolescent ways to maturing into a responsible adult is the emotional motivation and conflict in the new drama, What Richard Did. Based on the award-winning book Bad Day in Blackrock by Kevin Powers, the Lenny Abrahamson-helmed film adaptation is a devastating study of how teenagers confront who they think they were and who they ultimately prove to be. Shot entirely on location in Ireland, the coming-of-age film, led by Transformers 4 star Jack Reynor in the title role, is a detailed portrait of the consequences teenagers must learn to take responsibility for. Reynor and director Lenny Abrahamson participated in a roundtable interview during the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival in a New York City hotel to discuss the film.
