The Myth of the American Sleepover
Written by David Robert Mitchell
Directed by David Robert Mitchell
USA, 2010
Making a movie about teenagers is asking for trouble. Your movie begs to be pigeonholed – will it be a gritty cautionary tale about youthful excess? A raunchy sex farce? An obsessively quirky, mannered dramedy? For its shortcomings, David Robert Mitchell’s freshman outing as a feature writer/director nimbly (and thankfully) avoids easy pigeonholing.
Sleepover chronicles roughly 24 hours in the lives of a mostly-disconnected group of young people (mostly high schoolers) as they attempt to navigate their own budding senses of romance and attraction on what appears to be the last party night before school begins again. Among the youngest is Maggie (Claire Sloma), a formerly shy but potentially outgoing girl eager to make the most of her evening. Meanwhile, Rob (Marlon Morton) spies a prototypical blonde beauty at the grocery store, and...

The Myth of the American Sleepover Trailer has premiered. David Robert Mitchell‘s The Myth of the American Sleepover (2010) movie trailer stars Jade Ramsey, Amy Seimetz, Nikita Ramsey, Amanda Bauer, and Jean Louise O’Sullivan. The Myth of the American Sleepover plot synopsis: “The Myth Of The American Sleepover is a youthful and tender coming-of-age drama from first-time writer/director David Robert Mitchell. In the tradition of free-wheeling tributes to adolescence like Dazed & Confused, the film follows four young people (a cast of brilliant young newcomers in their feature film debuts) on the last night of summer – their final night of freedom before the new school year starts. The teenagers cross paths as they explore the suburban wonderland they inhabit in search of love and adventure – chasing first kisses, elusive crushes, popularity and parties – and discover the quiet moments that will later resonate as the best in their youth.”

First love, young love. Those days when it feels as if you're right on the brink of some flashpoint moment end up burned into your brain. Or the idea of those days is burned in, at least, and that's what ends up being part of the limitless energy that powers cinema. The Myth of the American Sleepover runs entirely on that energy as it follows a handful of kids on the cusp of adulthood as they try to spark a connection on the last weekend of summer. First-timer David Robert Mitchell directs a young cast (Jade Ramsey, Amy Seimetz, Nikita Ramsey, Amanda Bauer, Jean Louise O'Sullivan, Claire Sloma) in a story that looks a bit like Gus Van Sant remaking a John Hughes movie, or even like a Larry Clark movie that isn't wholly creepy. I don't know if it works, but the trailer has enough moments that click that...

Director Joshua Grannell has always had a deep love of all those cheesy type horror movies that they used to air late at night. He's also had a passion for old school style theaters that play revivals of those late night cheesy movies. So it's no wonder he managed to create a valentine to those theaters and to those movies with his very first feature length film, All About Evil. He also gave one of his idols, Elviria aka Cassandra Peterson, a great little role sans costume as a concerned mom trying to understand her son's love of the horror genre. All About Evil features an all star cast of players including Natasha Lyonne, Thomas Dekker, Noah Segan, Mink Stole, Jade Ramsey, Nikita Ramsey, Ariel Hart, Lyndsy Kail, Santia Andrews and Julie Caitlin Brown. Here's what director Joshua Grannell had to say about his film, All About Evil which is...

So, Film Friday continues with another episode from Soul Fire Rising called "I Give You My Soul," which is so thick with religious themes that one might wonder: is the source Christian influenced? After some investigation this webseries is not Christian sourced, but simply from the twisted writing mind of Kurt Patino (Cup O' Joe). Also, the soul is heavily referenced in the series, and here is that lesson you were hoping to avoid, the soul is an ancient reference to the heart as the seat of human consciousness from Greek philosophy. However, science has refuted this belief and shown that the mind is, of course, the seat of man's consciousness, behaviours and the instigator for emotions. Have a watch as character Lilith demands the soul of others which could be given a way freely as this concept is not based in reality!

Director: David Robert Mitchell Writer: David Robert Mitchell Starring: Claire Sloma, Marlon Morton, Amanda Bauer, Brett Jacobsen The end of summer is quickly approaching and teenagers around town are reluctantly preparing to begin a new year of school. The soon-to-be high school freshmen are participating in random sleepovers around town, while the upper classmen are hosting wild parties of their own. I suspect this scenario is a fantasy (perhaps a myth?) for most teens – an entire town in which everyone between the age of 14 and 19 has a sleepover or party to attend…and not an adult in sight. (It is as if the parents have vanished and left their teenage kids to their own devices.) Maggie (Claire Sloma) is arguably the main character of this mammoth ensemble cast – I say that primarily because the film opens and closes with her character’s story and I would venture a wager that she has the most screen-time.

Natasha Lyonne, covered in blood, figured prominently in the first poster for Joshua Grannell's "All About Evil". The second showcases the hauntingly beautiful Jade Ramsey and Nikita Ramsey, who play "Veda" and "Vera", killer twins who were institutionalized earlier in life after murdering their family at seven years of age. They are silent but deadly and were born knowing all about evil. There will be five more posters released over the next five months, and Grannell promises he and his crew are working hard on the official website, which will feature the first trailer. "All About Evil" is a wicked black comedy set in the world of a horror movie about a mousy librarian (Lyonne) who inherits her father's beloved but failing old movie house. In order to save the family business,...
