The TV Set (Austin Film Festival ’06)

By Scott Beggs 

The Opening Night film of the festival, The TV Set, is a satirical look at the world of television production from the mewling and puking of the show concept, through the pilot taping, straight on to the network picking it up for the new Fall line up. It’s a tale of butting heads – creativity vs. marketability – offered from Jake Kasdan, the director of Orange County.

The Quiet

By Scott Beggs 

The characters aren’t exactly new and the storyline is definitely a slow burner which is probably why The Quiet isn’t going to succeed in the American market. However, its appearance on the scene means the transition between the explosive high concept Summer is giving way to the earthy, character-driven Fall in Hollywood. The story is compelling, the acting is brilliant and the directing is certainly capable. Unfortunately, there’s something about the movie that just doesn’t work.
