Prestigious SBIFF awards go to Bassett and Curtis

(News4usonline) - The 38th Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) wrapped with some of the biggest names in the film industry being honored. Among those receiving accolades were Angela Bassett and Jamie Lee Curtis, two of Hollywood’s longtime leading ladies.  Curtis is well-known for her screams. Bassett has drawn on her unmistakable grit and perseverance for the characters she portrays. Both women have been longtime beacons of light in the film industry. Bassett, who starred in the hit film, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” picked up the SBIFF Montecito Award, which was hand-delivered by film director Ryan Coogler on Feb. 9.

Coogler was the director of “Black Panther” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Before she was presented with the Montecito Award, Bassett did a Q&A with Durling as her clips from her greatest hits of films were shown to the audience.  Among the more notable roles and films Bassett has played in her illustrious career was starring in “Malcolm X,” “How Stella Got Her Groove Back,” Boyz in the Hood,” and “What’s Love Got to Do with It.” Bassett was considered to the frontrunner to win an Acadamy Award for her blistering portrayal of singer Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got to Do with It.”  The Oscar didn’t materialize for Bassett, who is up for an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress as Queen Romonda in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Curtis, considered to be Hollywood’s scream queen for ongoing roles in horror flicks like the “Halloween” saga, was given the Maltin Modern Master Award. The daughter of Hollywood legends Tony Curtis (Some Like it Hot) and Janet Leigh (Psycho), Curtis is an extremely talented actress in her own right, having earned a Golden Globe Award and enjoying several other nominations along her acting journey.  But when you mention the name Jamie Lee Curtis, another name pops up immediately: Laurie Strode. Strode is the older sister of Michael Myers. Ever since 1978 when the first “Halloween” chiller first appeared, Myers has been chasing big sister around with a maniacal thirst as a killing machine leading bodies in his wake.  And all the way up to the 2022 “Halloween Ends,” Curtis screams her head off.  There’s nothing quite like a Jamie Lee Curtis scream, that’s for sure. In all fairness, there’s a lot more to Curtis as an actress than running around dark neighborhoods trying to avoid being the victim of her brother’s homicidal aspirations. She has starred in “Trading Places,” “The Fog,” “A Fish Called Wanda,” “True Lies,” and “Blue Steel.”  According to her IMDB, Curtis has 80 film credits under her name. She’s also an accomplished director and producer. Her career is a little more than having a screamfest.   “Jamie Lee Curtis has long since proven that she has staying power. People want to watch her, whether it’s in a Halloween movie or an offbeat character role. She’s talented and charismatic, and in the process does her movie-star parents proud” said Leonard Maltin.   Read the full article

Film Posters & 2019

2018 finished off with another bang. It seems like every december and january are now crazy busy months for me. December I traveled all around the country for Facebook and another company. January i’ve been shooting in LA and the Bay Area which has been a blast. Along with all of these are the short films I did last year. Festival season is upon us and while some of the shorts have gotten into smaller comedy festivals, A Cohort of Guest got accepted to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. I haven’t been in a while but when I did i saw LOVE by 30 Seconds to Mars. We also have wrapped up the Star Wars piece and are showing to some pretty important people we look up to. Below are all the official and final posters for all the films i shot that are releasing very soon!
