Chicago – The 2017 Tribeca Film Festival was not all about film. Besides showcasing Immersive and Virtual Reality programming, this edition of the festival opened up submissions from independent television pilot creators for the first time. One of the four finalists that were accepted to the “Tribeca: TV” portion of the festival was “Lost & Found,” created and directed by Haroula Rose, who is from the nearby Chicago suburb of Lincolnwood, Ill.
“Lost & Found” follows a group of friends as they try to navigate the absurdity of modern-day Los Angeles, which is anchored by a ceremony where a couple gets “unwed” after their divorce, and the complications that evolve from that ritual. The show is witty and in-depth, with a large ensemble cast that delivers both hilarity and emotion. “Lost & Found” features Melonie Diaz, Terence Nance, Will Janowitz, Jennifer Lafleur, Abby Wathen, Avi Rothman, Peter Thomson, Nick Thurston and Laura Lee Bostacos.

Averting the bigger is better approach that plagues most franchises, The Trip series is attuned to life’s simple pleasures: cuisine, comedy, and companionship. For Michael Winterbottom, Steve Coogan, and Rob Brydon, their third outing, The Trip to Spain, refreshingly doesn’t stray from the charismatic formula that has resulted in perhaps the most delightful series of films this decade.
Sparing little narrative formalities, as has become part and parcel for these expeditions, Coogan, having concluded a series with Martin Scorsese, and Brydon, eager to take a break from child-rearing duties, set off on another assignment, this time heading to the southwest of Europe. Coogan takes on a Cervantes-inspired “Don Quixote”-esque journey as he reads Laurie Lee’s “As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning” and attempts to write his own book about his voyage, while Brydon is once again filing restaurant reviews. Aside from the expected, but still as-hilarious-as-ever host of impressions,...

Peta Murgatroyd is a master in the ballroom, and a masterful maternity style maven.
The reigning Dancing with the Stars champion, who is seven months along in her pregnancy, cloaked her baby bump in a strapless black maxi dress at People’s “Ones to Watch” celebration in Los Angeles presented by Maybelline New York.
Murgatroyd, 30, added a subtle but sexy style factor by accessorizing her simple garment with a sheer lace kimono cardigan along with a black choker and a pair of color coordinated stilettos that were accented with metallic hoop detailing.

Miss Mississippi Laura Lee has plenty of first-hand experience with bullying. Born with mid facial hypoplasia, her upper face was underdeveloped, while her lower face was over developed. "My face was very disproportional," Lee, 23, tells People. "I dealt with daily bullying." "The physical pain was tremendous with my condition," she continues. "I had trouble eating and speaking, and there was a lot of pain in my face, but the emotional pain was so much stronger." Lee says she couldn't get through the school day without being teased by a classmate. "I remember walking through the hallways of my school with...

The Photographers' Gallery, London
William Burroughs's photographs offer real insight into his written work. Lynch's and Warhol's images pale by comparison
"A picture just means I know where I was every minute," Andy Warhol once said. "That's why I take pictures. It's a visual diary." In this instinct, Warhol was, as always, ahead of the game. One senses that he would have been very much at home in today's digitally driven, relentlessly mediated world where diaristic photography – the recording of the everyday – is a predominant form.
Likewise William Burroughs, a writer who photographed the world around him, wherever he was, whether New York, London or Tangiers and processed the results at the nearest chemist's. Both were drawn to the disposable nature of photography but, paradoxically, took great care to arrange their images – in Burroughs's case, into meticulous collages. Warhol's embrace of photography, though, was central to his wider artistic practice,...

Review Louisa Mellor 7 Jun 2013 - 10:00
Louisa falls under the spell of Neil Gaiman’s latest novel, a darkly magical story about childhood and memory…
Eight years after Anansi Boys, Neil Gaiman’s mystical, comic novel about digging up the roots of a mythological family tree, arrives The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Held in place by an adult framing narrative, it winds back through childhood memory to tell an otherworldly story that starts with a death and ends with a sacrifice.
At the end of our young narrator’s lane is the Hempstock farm. Living there are three women, or more properly, two women and a girl. The Hempstock women have had men there sometimes. They come and they go. This mysterious trinity with an ocean behind their house has power and understanding unknowable. They also make a mean shepherd’s pie.

Will & Whit By Laura Lee Gulledge 192 pages, Amulet Books, $12.95 Dreamers came in all shapes and sizes, from Paige, the artist from Virginia who relocated to Brooklyn, to Wilhelmina Huckstep, an orphan seeking solace in her lamp creations. Under the sure hand of Laura Lee Gulledge, the mysteries of life are peeled away and explored with a fresh, open style. Gulledge burst onto the scene in 2011 with Page by Paige, which earned her an Eisner Award nomination and now she is back with Will & Whit. Will, as her friends call her, lost her parents a year ago and has come to live with her aunt Ella in the home her grandparents built next to the small, dusty antique shop they ran in a small Virginia town. She can’t sleep, is dreadfully afraid of the dark and tends to keep to herself, fixing or recreating interesting lamps that she sells at the shop.

The internet may have made redundant the Victorian type of travel book, full of facts and figures, but it's a form of literature that can still thrive
'Hugh Grant loses his bookshop in Notting Hill" was the headline on an article that appeared last week in my local Spanish newspaper. International interest in London's Travel Bookshop (described as a tourist attraction comparable to Paris's Shakespeare and Company) is entirely due to its central role in a popular film promoting an engaging view of London and the British. In Britain, the news of the bookshop's closure has additional and more serious implications – for the future not only of similar independent establishments, but also, and no less importantly, of travel writing.
Travel writing today has an undoubtedly tarnished image. The casting of Hugh Grant in Notting Hill says much about popular preconceptions of the genre and its practitioners. It is a...

Page by Paige
By Laura Lee Gulledge
192 Pages, Amulet Books, $16.95
Thankfully there are a growing number of graphic novels for young adults about subjects way beyond fantasy, science fiction, and superheroics. A new generation of creators are sharing their visions or lives (or both) with us and everyone benefits. The latest such offering is Page by Paige, produced by scenic painter Laura Lee Gulledge. Paige is a stand-in for Laura, whose family has relocated from Virginia to New York and being the new teen in high school is a rough experience. There’s the awkwardness of coming in during the school year coupled with navigating the courses, the hallways and the cliques. Fortunately for Paige, she is accompanied by her sketchbook and in private, she pours out her fears, anxieties, and hopes. She finally meets someone who is drawn to Paige, noticing the newcomer is reading an issue of Locas.
