Another screening and review of Fort McCoy

Fort McCoy will be shown at the Sonoma Film Festival on April 10. For showtimes and venues, go to the festival’s site.

There is a new review of the film at Sonoma News:

Frank Stirn, played excellently by Eric Stoltz who also produced the film, is a barber in 1944 who cannot join the military due to a heart murmur. Desperately seeking a way to still serve his country, he moves his family to Fort McCoy, a POW camp that is home to thousands of Germans and Japanese soldiers. The strongly character driven film offers a snapshot of daily life on the base, where the prisoners seem to run freely as they are consistently wandering into the Stirn’s home, panicking Frank’s wife and children.

Back on Glee

Looks like Eric is directing more Glee this season. A group of students visited the set last week and had a Q&A with him and one of the executive producers on the show. The episode will air in May. Glee is currently on a break and the next new episode doesn’t air until April 12. Here is a brief report from the Q&A:

Each guest also stressed the importance of not only “knowing the right people,” but maintaining those relationships and building a body of work of which to be proud.

“Building a good reputation as a hardworking artist who is easy to work with is critical in sustaining a career in TV/film and stage,” Stoltz said.

Thanks to DiLoreto and Stoltz, students were given a tour of the Glee sets, the first large group that has ever done so. Students wandered the sets, and took pictures and videos of settings, culminating in a trip to the place where most of the songs on the show originate — the music classroom. Students are not allowed to post any of these pictures or video until the episode comes out in May because there might be spoilers in some of the sets.
