Director: MARK DUPLASS, JAY DUPLASS

The Duplass brothers’ follow-up to their indie hit The Puffy Chair is a witty deconstruction of the modern horror film. A hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Baghead tracks the fortunes of a group of aspiring young filmmakers holed up in a cabin to work on a screenplay for their debut thriller.

Life begins to imi- tate art when a mysterious, hooded figure shows up, transforming a simple artists’ retreat into something out of The Blair Witch Project. Equal parts clever, insightful and downright creepy, Baghead is a knowing look at independent filmmaking from some folks who oughta know.

“Baghead provides what nine out of 10 dead-teenagers movies lack: specifically, a realistic sense of char- acter that gives moviegoers a reason to identify with the would-be victims… Mark and Jay Duplass excel [at] taking the art of the awkward moment to new heights.” – Variety

A bit predictable, but fun nonetheless. Definitely worth renting or worth a matinée, but don’t pay full-price for this one.

Mississippi Watershed group retools grants program, hopes to reach diverse communities

By Paul Purman , TC Daily Planet

A Twin Cities watershed organization has a quarter million dollars of grant money to divvy up over the next few months, and they’re hoping groups that have traditionally not applied for funding will show up for an information meeting on Monday, September 8.

“Look at the demographics of our watershed,” explains Jenny Winkelman, Education & Outreach Coordinator for the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO), which covers portions of the cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Lauderdale, and St. Anthony. “We have a huge audience we’re trying to reach, many of them fairly recent immigrant communities, such as the Hmong and Somali communities. Most traditional watershed materials are produced for a literate, English-speaking audience and may miss important populations.” MORE »
