Based in San Diego’s indie music and art scene, I AM NOT A HIPSTER features original song performances and explores what it means to be creative in the face of tragedy. It’s one of the Official Selection films for the 2012 Sundance Film Festival that runs until January 29.

The soundtrack will be released later this year and features recordings of performances from the film, as well as songs from these San Diego artists: Black Mamba,
Cuckoo Chaos and The Donkeys.

Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie looks like the worst film ever made…or the funniest. It’s playing at the Sundance Film Festival now…so it must have some redeeming values. Well, maybe not.

Jimmy Fallon’s impression – David Bowie + Tim Tebow. Totally FUNny!

Time: 1:47

How did Tebow get on Seinfeld? Guess the writers were psychic and this video connects the dots.

Have you Tebowed today?

Who’s hosting the Academy Awards this year? A Yeti?

No…it’s Billy Crystal live February 26 on ABC. Who are you rooting for to win an Oscar?

A feature film shot on a smartphone? Ah, maybe not you say. But wait, there’s more. How about a feature film shot on a smartphone that’s an Oscar contender starring Gena Rowlands? What? And it was made for the micro-budget of $430,000 with a crew of 12? Impossible, you say? Ah, definitely not. OLIVE is the name.

Holy wow! Co-directors and co-writers Hooman Khalili and Pat Gilles did it. Watch the movie trailer below.

Ben Lear, son of Norman Lear, wrote a haunting song “Imaginary Friends” for the film. It’s on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science’s short list for an Oscar nom this year for Best Original Song. Here’s the song with vid footage from the film.

Have you ever thought about being a writer?Specifically a screenwriter. You know those wealthy Hollywood writers who put a couple pages on Final Draft a day, lunch with their agents, have cocktails with the stars and dine with their writer friends at the new scene restaurant? Those guys. Well, warning: read FALSE CONFESSIONS OF A TRUE HOLLYWOOD SCREENWRITER first.

Hollywood is irresistible, especially to dreamers like me. I went there, as all screenwriters do, with hopes of selling a million-dollar script and then returning home to my happy life on a Florida beach. But Hell-A almost kicked my butt. To get an agent, sell scripts and join the Writers Guild of America (profession film and TV writer), I sacrificed eight years of my life and a great chunk of my soul. If you asked me if I would have done anything differently…well, I would say…yes. I would have had $50,000 in a war chest rather than 5 credit cards with $10,000 limits.

False Confessions of a True Hollywood Screenwriter is part fact, part fiction. Faction, in fact. You may read the first chapter on my author website: www.SharonYCobb.com. You can also buy an autographed book there. Big deal, huh?

Or you can check out the book on Amazon.
