Mop-headed Luke had just turned 5 a couple of weeks ago when I ended up standing in a Starbucks line next to his mother. I began wondering what, and where, and how, a kid like that will be watching video entertainment a few years from now.
Luke is part of Generation Z, the giant cohort of kids growing up right now, a cohort even bigger than the Millennials. And everyone’s scrambling to reach these kids as they head toward an even bigger role than the Millennials in shaping our dominant culture and tech. Normally, seeing a cute kid capering in a coffee shop doesn’t cartwheel my mind into the future. But I’d simultaneously been texting with a producer pal of mine, Max Gottlieb, about the fast-changing market for film and TV.
Back in October, Max premiered an ultra-low-budget movie chock full of influencers part of a promising new...

The trend of feature films led by YouTube stars is not strictly an American phenomenon. British YouTube star Olajide Olatunji, known online as Ksi, and South African vlogger Caspar Lee will star in Laid In America, an upcoming feature film whose cast is filled with YouTube stars.
As TheVideoInk, Laid In America began filming last month and promises exactly what it says in the title. Ksi and Lee will play a pair of friends who cross the pond in an attempt to score with Stateside women. The supporting cast is full of YouTube stars: Timothy DeLaGhetto, Josh Leyva, and Josh Golden will all make appearances.
Laid in America is helmed by a notable YouTube channel as well. Bad Weather Films, a sketch comedy hub, is directing the film and co-producing it alongside Max Gottlieb.
Ksi and Caspar are frequent collaborators who are also two of the biggest stars on YouTube.

A new app is adding another layer to user-submitted reviews. Lovvvit, which will debut at this year's VidCon, lets users upload videos pertaining to their favorite businesses. Lovvvit, which will host a 'Lovvvit Lounge' at VidCon, runs on the assumption that people who are already writing up their most-frequented establishments will be happy to submit a video review. For those of us who refuse to visit restaurants with fewer than four stars on Yelp, Lovvvit provides an extra resource. As for the businesses themselves, they gain access to a host of relevant video clips (and as they are user-generated, those videos don't seem so corporate). We spoke to Lovvvit Founder and CEO Max Gottlieb about the startup. Tubefilter: How'd Lovvvit come to be? Max Gottlieb: I was frustrated with simply 'liking" or "checking in" to a business. I wanted to allow people the ultimate form of expression and appreciation...

Taormina Film Festival
TAORMINA, Italy -- A supposedly satirical look at assisted reproduction, the storyline to Mary McGuckian's "Inconceivable" stays true to its title. And its visual concept -- fast-paced editing, fragmented audio and sound superimposition/effects and sped-up and slowed-down images straight from "CSI" -- ensures that the film never loses its television feel.
Although full of biological inaccuracies, the film demands that its underlying drama be taken seriously as it negates the very women that make up its core audience. Nine women go to a renowned Las Vegas fertility clinic run by Doctor Freeman (Colm Feore) and miraculously all but one end up pregnant. The ninth and least fertile (Jennifer Tilly), however, winds up naturally pregnant shortly thereafter.
A year later, when comparing baby pictures, one of the women, Tutu (Elizabeth McGovern), notices that most of the children could be identical twins. A seasoned journalist, she blows the whistle on their fertility group and an investigation begins. Did Freeman or his assistant (Jordi Molla) give them all the same sperm to bolster his clinic's success rate and continue raking in the dough? Should the beneficiaries even care or just be happy that they finally got the miracle no one else could grant them?
To add to the pathos, the stories run the gamut of the human spectrum -- a gay couple with a surrogate mother, a lesbian couple, a wealthy elderly woman (Geraldine Chaplin) who must produce an heir to keep her husband's trust fund and various middle-aged women (from meek to wild) desperate to become mothers.
The mystery is solved by simply tossing the workings of DNA (children get 50% of their chromosomes from the mother and the other half from the father) to the wayside -- i.e., by the existence of a "super sperm that out-spermed all the other sperm." Thus, women are nothing more than carriers who bear no influence on the physical appearance of their children. With so many valid and complex ethical, emotional and dramatic questions related to artificial insemination, was creating a physiologically impossible situation really necessary?
What is saddest here is that a female cast that further includes Amanda Plummer and Andie McDowell should be so wasted. It would have been more interesting to see these women, now grappling with their own issues of reaching or surpassing middle age, sink their teeth into material on aging and motherhood with much more depth.
