"What else have you got to say?" 1091 Pictures has unveiled the official trailer for an indie coming-of-age drama titled Vandal, the feature directorial debut of up-and-coming filmmaker Jose Daniel Freixas. This originally premiered at the 2019 Miami Film Festival a few years ago, and is finally getting an official VOD release this fall. The young leader of a legendary Miami graffiti crew, Nick "Damage" Cruz, looks back on his legacy and experiences love & loss while battling a longtime rival on the streets. Daniel Zovatto stars as "Damage", and is joined by Frankie J. Alvarez, Beau Knapp, Otmara Marrero, Juan Pablo Raba, Richard Schiff, Dax Rudnak, Ralph Rodriguez, Angeline Appel, Manolo Gonzalez-Vergara, and Veronica Gessa. This doesn't look like the greatest movie, but it does look authentic, made by people who actually know what it's really like to be a graffiti artist on the streets of Miami. And that makes a difference.

Morgan Saylor takes a deep dive into NYC’s underbelly in the shocking, sexy and decidedly Nsfw trailer for Elizabeth Wood’s directorial debut, White Girl.
Wood, who recently came attached to long-gestating superhero film Captain Marvel, premiered her first feature film at Sundance earlier this year, and though it didn’t take home any awards, the review accolades sprinkled across today’s inaugural trailer are enough to pique our curiosity.
From a drug-induced nightmare to a stylish, cutting-edge portrayal of NYC, the early consensus for Wood’s film runs the gamut, and it’ll be fascinating to see how it fares with the moviegoing masses later this year.
The cross section between New York’s mean streets and its gentrified alcoves makes for potent social satire in Elizabeth Wood’s tough and exhilarating debut. Equipped with platinum blonde hair and a winning smile, college girl Leah (Morgan Saylor) seeks out pleasure in any form.

Premiering at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year was White Girl, the debut feature from writer-director Elizabeth Wood. Led by Morgan Saylor (Homeland), the drama depicts the downward spiral of a girl who recently moved to New York City, getting caught in a torrid mix of love and drugs. The first trailer has now arrived ahead of a fall release and it looks to be a vividly captured drama, and perhaps would make a strong double feature with last year’s Heaven Knows What.
We said in our Sundance review, “White Girl is a more than simple voyeurism, watching a pretty junky’s downfall as she does things the patriarchy would loudly object to. The lessons along the way are not quite learned as Leah adapts to street life using her sexuality and drug stash to get herself in and out of trouble. White Girl presents a bleak picture even...

Diversity is an ever-present issue in Hollywood. Unless there's a reason for a character to be a person of color (i.e. his/her race is relevant to the plot in some way), the part generally goes to a white actor. Even in today's increasingly diverse world, it's pretty difficult to see a Latino actor onscreen, without some sort of stereotype or trope being worked in.
Even a well-respected actress like Salma Hayek can't escape this truth, as she revealed last year. According to the actress, she was told the following by a producer:
"We can't take the risk of you opening your mouth and people thinking of their maids. You could have been a big star but you were born in the wrong country."
Hayek went on to describe a science fiction film (and though she refused to name it, it sounds an awful lot like Gravity) where she...

Here are the 2010 New York Reader's Choice results for categories dealing with classes and coaches. To look at all of the categories, be sure to visit the main page. Favorite Vocal/Singing Coach: Jackie Presti "Singing is a big coordination act, and I think a lot of people come in focusing on one aspect," says voice therapist and teacher Jackie Presti. "It's sort of like juggling and riding a bike and reciting Shakespeare at the same time."Clearly, Presti, who's also a singer, musician, and conductor, hits the right notes with her students. Her knowledge of both technical and artistic matters, not to mention her versatility and flexibility as a teacher, appealed to Valerie Ryan Miller, who has studied with her for three years. "After developing a strong belt, and a lot of vocal tension," Miller says, "I came to Jackie, who has expanded my range enormously—we are talking octaves!
