    WATCHMEN: MIDNIGHT by Flixcapacitor will be screened at StarFest in Denver, CO on Friday, April 19, 2013 at 6:30 PM. StarFest is a big pop culture/fan convention that's held every year in the city of Denver, and it includes events for sci-fi, horror, fantasy, comic books, and movies. They are very supportive of fan created works, and WATCHMEN: MIDNIGHT will be screened as part of their "Fan Film Festival" on Friday.

    People attending the screening will receive a printed list of the major changes in the fanedit and Flixcapacitor will have some time before the screening to introduce the film.

    Read more about Starfest at Starland.com.

    Wait! There's more.

    Flixcapacitor has also been invited to present WATCHMEN: MIDNIGHT at an academic conference in Maastricht, Netherlands in July. He will show excerpts from the film before vs. after recutting, and will give a presentation on fanediting itself.

    The conference is called MASH (Making and Sharing) and its organizers are interested in the mixture of media theory and production.

    Disney buys LucasFilm. Faneditors worldwide rejoice... or cry

    Inline Image Get ready for a new onslaught of Star Wars Fanedits, kids.

    It has just been reported that Disney is acquiring the rights to Lucasfilm, yes, that Lucasfilm. I'm a little too stunned to try and get into too much detail, so here it is, straight from the mouses mouth:





    Global leader in high-quality family entertainment agrees to acquire world-renowned Lucasfilm Ltd, including legendary STAR WARS franchise.

    Acquisition continues Disney's strategic focus on creating and monetizing the world's best branded content, innovative technology and global growth to drive long-term shareholder value.

    Lucasfilm to join company's global portfolio of world class brands including Disney, ESPN, Pixar, Marvel and ABC.

    STAR WARS: EPISODE 7 feature film targeted for release in 2015.
    The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) has agreed to acquire Lucasfilm Ltd. in a stock and cash transaction. Lucasfilm is 100% owned by Lucasfilm Chairman and Founder, George Lucas.
    Under the deal, Disney will acquire ownership of Lucasfilm, a leader in entertainment, innovation and technology, including its massively popular and "evergreen" Star Wars franchise and its operating businesses in live action film production, consumer products, animation, visual effects, and audio post production. Disney will also acquire the substantial portfolio of cutting-edge entertainment technologies that have kept audiences enthralled for many years. Lucasfilm, headquartered in San Francisco, operates under the names Lucasfilm Ltd., LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, and Skywalker Sound, and the present intent is for Lucasfilm employees to remain in their current locations.

    Kathleen Kennedy, current Co-Chairman of Lucasfilm, will become President of Lucasfilm, reporting to Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn. Additionally she will serve as the brand manager for Star Wars, working directly with Disney's global lines of business to build, further integrate, and maximize the value of this global franchise. Ms. Kennedy will serve as executive producer on new Star Wars feature films, with George Lucas serving as creative consultant. Star Wars Episode 7 is targeted for release in 2015, with more feature films expected to continue the Star Wars saga and grow the franchise well into the future.
    And from The Maker (Lucas):
    "For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next," said George Lucas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lucasfilm. "It's now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers. I've always believed that Star Wars could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime. I'm confident that with Lucasfilm under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy, and having a new home within the Disney organization, Star Wars will certainly live on and flourish for many generations to come. Disney's reach and experience give Lucasfilm the opportunity to blaze new trails in film, television, interactive media, theme parks, live entertainment, and consumer products."
    This is all of course subject to approval of several antitrust regulations, but I can't see this not happening. I have no more words. Not sure of I should be happy or sad here. MIND. BLOWN.

    The UK production company SUPERGOOBER has a nice questions & answers article with faneditor The Man Behind The Mask.
    It all started last year when they saw his two "grindhouse" versions of Star Wars and Jaws and got hooked by the fanediting movement.
    The Man Behind The Mask wants to thank Chris for making this happen.
    It's nice to see that the interest for this art form is growing strong!


    You can read the interview HERE.

    And don't forget to watch the amazing work done by supergoober's directors!
