Ingrid Jungermann Launches New Web Series F to 7th
Ingrid Jungermann, one half of the team behind The Slope and a “25 New Faces” alum from 2012, has just launched her new very funny web series, F to 7th. It’s a “homoneurotic” sequel of sorts to The Slope, again featuring Jungermann’s screen alter ego Ingrid, and exploring further comic territory that pokes fun at the LGBT community and Park Slopers. The first two episodes are online now and feature guest appearances by Michael Showalter (in “Off-Leash Hours”) and Compliance actress Ashlie Atkinson (in “Tweener”). Go here to check out the show.

“25 New Faces” Update: Our Nixon at MoMA, Kickstarting F to 7th, Borscht Commissions, Mayer Erases the Web

But, on this quiet Friday afternoon, I thought I’d take the opportunity to provide a few quick updates on the current class of filmmakers in our “25 New Faces,” who are a very productive bunch. Firstly, New Yorkers should head to MoMA this Sunday, October 28, for The White House Home Movies: Richard Nixon on Super-8, a screening which is part of the 10th MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation. There will be clips […]

First Impressions
I’ve never been good at first impressions. The first time I met my ex-gf, I got incredibly drunk and vomited in front of her. The first time I was interviewed for a magazine, I told the story of how I got drunk in front of my ex-gf and vomited. And here I go again, making a bad first impression. That’s probably why I have first-day-of-school nerves about attending my first Independent Film Week. Excited and ready to go, but I’m also a bit unsure of how I’m going to approach the situation. Cool and aloof? Eager and personable, milking it […]
