Thought this would be interesting....

Maya Entertainment, the Latino-owned film entertainment company, is teaming up with Blockbuster Inc., to support the growing Latino filmmaking industry in the U.S. and spotlight quality examples of its work.

Together, the companies are presenting two programs. The first is a 10-city film festival featuring internationally acclaimed films, actors and filmmakers. The second is Project Goldenlight, a national screenwriting competition.

The film program will include both domestically produced and internationally acclaimed films never before distributed in North America. Films being considered for inclusion feature high-profile Latino actors as well as Latino filmmakers and themes.

Project Goldenlight is a screenwriting competition in which industry experts will select an original screenplay from a pool of contestants to be developed by Martinez, who also manages the development team at Maya. Depending on the output of the project, the final product will be released theatrically and then have an exclusive rental window at participating BLOCKBUSTER stores.

The Project Goldenlight competition is scheduled to launch in the spring through www.LatinoReview.com in association with The National Association of Latino Independent Producers ("NALIP") Producer's Academy.

Whatever Works!

I happen to love, love, love Woody Allen movies. I think I have to add another love, love Woody Allen. So you can imagine my excitment to hear that the new Woody Allen movie will be showing on the opening night of The Tribeca Film Festival April 22.

"Whatever Works" is Woody Allen's first film shot in NYC since 2004. He has filmed overseas, the past couple of movies. This is a comedy starring Larry David (love him too), Evan Rachel Wood, Ed Begley Jr. and Patricia Clarkson. Should be interesting to see Larry David in a Woody Allen movie.

I can't wait to see it!! "Whatever Works" will be released summer 2009.

The Tribeca Film Festival, which was co-founded by Robert De Niro, will run through May 3.
