Tribeca 2018: Stockholm

Stockholm is the film that tells the absurd 1973 story that became the basis for the phrase, “Stockholm Syndrome.” Budreau wisely doesn’t wait around as the film quickly gets right down to business when Lars Nystrom (Ethan Hawke) walks into the Swedish bank.  Lars does so to the tune of a Bob Dylan song.  Lars is very demanding of what the police do.  He wants them to release his best friend, Gunnar Sorensson (Mark Strong), from…

Crowdfunding for SXSW and Tribeca

When it comes to traveling to all of the major film festivals, one almost has no choice but to turn to crowdfunding unless they have a day job that helps cover the costs. Sundance was an absolute blast and you can find the reviews of the films I saw linked under my Film Festival Movie Reviews page.  There’s nothing like the absolute thrill of discovering new gems that I would likely have never even heard…
