“Dune” has been named the best-shot film of 2021 by the American Society of Cinematographers, which held its annual awards show on Sunday evening in Los Angeles.
Cinematographer Greig Fraser won the award over a field that included fellow Oscar nominees “The Power of the Dog,” “The Tragedy of Macbeth” and “Nightmare Alley,” as well as “Belfast.”
In the first 35 years of its existence, the ASC winner has gone on to take the Oscar for Best Cinematography less than half the time, although that percentage has improved recently. “Dune” is considered one of the front runners for this year’s cinematography Oscar, with Fraser seemingly in a close with Ari Wegner for “The Power of the Dog,” who could be the first woman ever to win in the category.
Other feature-film awards went to Jessica Beshir for “Faya Dayi” in the documentary category and Pat Scola for “Pig” in the spotlight category,...

There’s only one word that British dad Marc Carter can use to describe the global search to replace his son’s special sippy cup: “gobsmacking.”
The dad of three from Devon, England, sparked a worldwide hunt for the light blue Tommee Tippee cup in November, when he became aware that the cup being used by his 14-year-old son, Ben — who has autism — was close to falling apart.
Speaking to People at the time, Carter, 42, explained that Ben “would rather die” than drink from another cup and, in desperation, posted a social media call in the hope that one might...

With narrative shades reminiscent of 1979’s Prophecy, an old-school practical effects approach, a grueling location shoot in Alaskan winter climes, and a cast that includes 1990’s "Twin Peaks" bombshell Sherilyn Fenn, our interest was piqued from the onset for Unnatural...
Now, at long last, we’re finally able to bring you word on director Hank Braxtan’s recently wrapped creature feature. Helmed by Braxtan (whose upcoming psychological horror feature Chemical Peel is due out via Lionsgate this coming October), Unnatural was produced by Ron Carlson.
Cinematography is by Marc Carter and editing is by filmmaker Mike Mendez (Big-Ass Spider). The film was shot this past January and February on location in Fairbanks, Alaska, and in addition to Fenn, the cast includes James Remar (“Dexter”), Ray Wise (Jeepers Creepers 2, “Twin Peaks”), Graham Greene (The Green Mile), Q’orianka Kilcher (“Sons of Anarchy”), and Ivana Korab.

The Film:
Everything you ever wanted to know about DC Comics, but in the broadest of strokes, is Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics. Marc Carter’s film hits all of the right areas, all of the right key figures, yet even at 90-minutes, the film peters out and just shows us the characters are still alive and well in The Dark Knight and Superman Returns. While that final handful of minutes just feels like a congratulatory promo reel, the real meat of the film is fun coverage of the origins of Batman and Superman and the rise of the characters again in the Silver Age.
While all of this is widely known knowledge, is still fun hearing Bob Kane talk about how quick he came up with Batman (then known as The Bat-Man) in 1939 and Jerry Siegel’s creation of Superman. The look at the old time art,...

Two 20-something cubicle mates at a Los Angeles bathroom-supply company (one boasts of having sold 18 million toilet seat covers in a year) take a round-the-world tour to scatter the ashes of friend Paul, who died before he could take a trip himself.
They have enough money for the air fare but not enough for hotels, so they pretend to be writers for Frommer's travel guides and scam free rooms at fancy hotels.
The low-budget, improvised vanity project "Last Stop for Paul" follows Charlie (the film's writer-director, Neil Mandt) and Cliff (the cinematographer, Marc Carter) as they stop off in Jamaica,...

This week's delectable delights include, amongst other things, such highbrow morsels as a gallery retrospective on D.I.Y. art and a crash course in the history of the California vineyards. If that's not your cup of proverbial tea, there's always psychotic bikers and the ballad of two stoned losers on the run from gangsters and the police.
"Beautiful Losers"
More than 15 years after founding the hugely influential Alleged Gallery in New York, the freelance curator Aaron Rose continues to serve as a cornerstone of the now-global D.I.Y. art scene. Here he teams with "Blair Witch" actor-turned-director Joshua Leonard to chart the evolution and subsequent commercialization of a movement whose genesis was found in a group of outcasts, slackers and misfits from the fringes of subculture. Emerging from the dirty little worlds of surfing, skateboarding and street graffiti, a group of artists including the likes of Harmony Korine,...
