Control, Anton Corbijn's monochrome sweep through the short, sad and much-mythologised life of Ian Curtis, won five awards at the British Independent Film Awards last night, including best film, best director and best debut director.
The cast of the Dutch photographer's first feature film, which chronicles the Joy Division singer's marriage, epilepsy and suicide at the age of 23, were also rewarded. Sam Riley took the most promising newcomer award for his intense portrayal of Curtis, while Toby Kebbell won the best supporting actor prize for his turn as the band's sharp-tongued manager, Rob Gretton.

SMOKIN YOGI VISIONS is a Minneapolis-based Production Company dedicated to creating high-quality, unique, and forward-thinking Film, Literature, and Communications. Balancing a love of art with a passion for supporting women in commerce, SMOKIN YOGI provides products that are as meaningful as they are entertaining.
SMOKIN YOGI focuses on projects that offer the public an avenue to thoughtfully consider subjects that are prevalent everywhere, and yet remain taboo for manye.g., divorce, mental illness, sexuality, money, etc. Co-authored by Smokin Yogi founder, Julie Rappaport, along with her former husband of seventeen years and their teenage daughter, their newly published book, 'RELATIONAL SHIFTS, A Family Doesn't Have To End Just Because A Marriage Does,' details one such story--their own family's personal story of their journey through divorce to the other side of their 'relational shift.' (See BOOKS for more information and to order your copy today.)
As SMOKIN YOGI values projects that develop themes that have been unmentionable, SMOKIN YOGI also values the ability to create an open dialogue for discussion of these difficult subjects. As such, SMOKIN YOGI provides peer-to-peer social therapy as well as related links of interest to all through EZINE, where individuals can find important social, spiritual, and emotional resources.
In addition, SMOKIN YOGI is building a library of short films for distribution via the net, ipods, and cell phones. Please see FILM for more information regarding the upcoming Abnormally Normal, a series that parallels and highlights many of the issues discussed in the book, Relational Shifts. The demo-pilot for Abnormally Normal, Just Breathe, Part I, She Says... has been awarded a Fiscal Sponsorship by the IFP MN, as an Independent Feature Project. Abnormally Normal had its premiere screening at the Swansea Bay Film Festival, Wales, UK, June, 2007.

Abnormally Normal is a life-affirming episodic dra-medy that cleverly captures the exhilarating highs, the desperate lows, and all of the moments in between that describe the ever-evolving journey of family life, even when its flow changes course with a divorce. The production's theme is: "A Family Doesn't Have to End Just Because a Marriage Does." Abnormally Normal offers a range of characters with whom audience members can readily identify. Every viewer can see themselves and their own feelings reflected in the compelling, comedic, and sympathetic dialogue of Abnormally Normal. Comedic relief is found not only during the Head Trips, spiraling into the constantly bickering archetypes within themselves, where internal, emotional conflicts are exposed as the characters wonder what will become of themselves and their family. These scenes reveal what the choices they make are based upon. In the 2005 U.S. Census Report, almost as many divorces were filed as marriages, and research shows over 40 million living Americans have been divorced. In 2006, there were more women single than ever before. Abnormally Normal is a life-affirming episodic dra-medy that cleverly captures the... more

Film Gravity
"Filmmakers in unity. Building networks. Grounding community. Sharing perspectives. Seeing their ideas come to life. In this new global village of world cinema a revolution takes hold. Interacting minds. Insights abounding. Finding fruitfully financing. Distribution possibilities unfurling. Create a connection.
Gravitate to the center and sing your story."
It's still a little to early to tell how powerful a tool Film Gravity is going to be. Just out of Beta, it is another profesional networking site. What sets it apart are the tools that they are developing.
Job posting, casting calls , and events- fairly standard
Film Market- "a shop window of your projects for distribution"; similar to what inDplay is doing (http://www.indplay.com/) and Withoutabox (http://www.withouthabox.com/) is moving toward.
Film Finance- "List you film for Finanace - FilmGravity Finance Network is designed to help filmmakers connect with potential film financing for their "
This site is SO new, there are hardly any posting. In fact one of our films is the third ( of three) listed in the Film Market at the time this is being written. On the other hand, since signing up, I've gotten new network requests nearly everyday. The say it's not what you know, it's who you know. While it maybe another networking site Film Gravity, with the atmosphere that is being created and the functions the are being built may prove to be a worthwhile professional meeting place.
