Matt Tynauer’s frank, unrated documentary about the wild times of gay and straight hustler-procurer Scotty Bowers is built around his 2012 tell-all book about the Hollywood sex underground of the late ’40s and ’50s. Scotty tells his own story in a way that compels belief. It’s a fine docu but not for all audiences, as some hardcore content is included.

Hollywood is pretty good at keeping secrets, but who knew some stars were this good? Between the paparazzi and baby bumps, it’s pretty tough to keep a celeb pregnancy completely under wraps, yet some couples managed to do just that in 2014.
Here are the five bundles of joy that we didn’t see coming -- and one that we sort of did but, you know, not for sure.
Jimmy Fallon & Nancy Juvonen
Congratulations, Completely Exhausted! This year marked the second time Jimmy Fallon shocked fans with big baby news. The Tonight Show host and wife Nancy Juvonen welcomed Frances Cole Fallon on Dec. 3. As with their older daughter, 1-year-old Winnie Rose, Frances was born by surrogate and the pregnancy was kept private until after her birth.

Congratulations are in order for Gaby Hoffmann! The Girls star has welcomed her first child just in time for the holidays. In fact, the actress gave birth almost one month ago away from a hospital room. "Gaby had a daughter, Rosemary, with boyfriend Chris Dapkins, born at home on November 19," her manager confirms to Us Weekly. "Everyone is healthy and doing great." Fans may recognize the 32-year-old from her most recent role as Ali Pfefferman in Amazon's Transparent. She also secured a guest role on Girls as Caroline Sackler. A busy schedule, however, eventually took an understandable toll on the pregnant star. "I'm definitely at the...

Riding on a Western Dream: Sutton’s Sophomore Film Drifts About a Drifter
To refer to Tim Sutton’s sophomore film, Memphis as understated would itself be an understatement. Somnolent and ambiguous to the point of distraction, it’s a sometimes significant mood piece set entirely in the distracted head of its protagonist. Filmed within the city for which it’s so named, this is more a lyrical ode than an actual exploration, homage to the locale as perhaps a state of mind rather than a tangible space.
An artist in the midst of a considerable creative block, a Blues musician Willis (played by real life musician Willis Earl Beal) is struggling to find inspiration for a new album. His previous work has already solidified his reputation as a musical genius with a gift from God, (as explained by the highly religious local populace of Southern Baptists) and local musicians...

Memphis
Written and directed by Tim Sutton
USA, 2013
Like past Sundance films, there are offerings that will connect with the audience or those that detach themselves completely, choosing to envelope themselves in their craft. Memphis, the second directorial feature from Pavilion director Tim Sutton, is the latter.
The film focuses on Willis (Willis Earl Beal), a young blues musician stuck in a rut. Finding himself wandering round the streets of Memphis and struggling to put in the effort with his friends and girlfriend, Willis debates what to do with his life.
In terms of pace and tone, Memphis is a slow and mellow film, subsequently making it difficult to stay engaged with. Like Willis, you find yourself wandering aimlessly round Memphis and unfortunately, the plot doesn’t have an end point. In addition, Willis spends a bit too much time on self-reflection rather than adopting a more proactive attitude to...

Ioncinema.com’s Ioncinephile of the Month feature focuses on an emerging filmmaker from the world of cinema. This March, we feature Tim Sutton, whose debut film Pavilion premiered almost one year to the day at the 2012 edition of the SXSW Film Festival. Factory 25 just released the film in New York (March 1st) with further dates to come. Below you’ll find our profile and Tim Sutton’s personal Top Ten films of all time can be found here.
Eric Lavallee: During your childhood…what films were important to you?
Tim Sutton: The first film I ‘saw’ in a movie theater was Bambi. And all that I can recall (through memory combined with the story told to me over the years) was that my father cried. As a kid, I dug Star Wars, Breaking Away, Ode to Billie Joe – I just remember feeling really sad during the scenes on that bridge) and loved,...

Tiny Wins and Losses: Sutton Explores Teenage Life
At fifteen, your neighborhood is your kingdom. Streets, curbs, lawns are the landscape on which you begin to write your own narrative, to begin making yourself up as you go along. In Tim Sutton’s directorial debut Pavilion, we follow Max, a standoffish, pensive teen, as he ambles around the woods and suburban side streets of upstate New York until he’s uprooted and relocated to live with his father in Arizona. In Pavilion, Sutton quietly watches Max and his friends and though the results are subtle, at times too subtle, they’re more often revealing; the kids often say very little, but in their blank stares they say a lot. He observes the kids and lets them interact freely, lets them be themselves, and in so doing captures the enormity of the tiny wins and losses that make up teenage life.

One of our favorite recent films at Filmmaker and Ifp is Tim Sutton’s dreamy and at times disquieting evocation of youth, Pavilion. The film went through the Ifp Labs, and its d.p., Chris Dapkins, made our 25 New Faces list last year. And, just this year, Sutton took part in the Venice Biennale College Cinema, which is partnered with Ifp, and because of its support, is set to make his new feature, Memphis, this Spring. As Sutton enters pre-production, Pavilion hits the theaters from Factory 25. It opens at IFC Center in New York tomorrow, and is recommended to all …...

Prior to its BAMcinemaFest screening on June 28, Tim Sutton’s festival favorite Pavilion has a haunting new trailer — featuring a new song from The Sea and Cake’s Sam Prekop — which we are delighted to be exclusively premiering on the Filmmaker website.
In the current issue of the magazine, Scott wrote the following on the film:
Tim Sutton’s Pavilion, premiering in the Emerging Visions section, is a beautifully shot and tantalizingly subtle tale of the fragility of adolescent friendships. A teenage boy (Max Schaffner) spends summers with his mother in upstate New York before traveling to stay with his father in Arizona. Shooting with the Canon 5D in an observational style, Sutton and his d.p., Chris Dapkins, capture every nuance of his subjects — their beads of sweat, non-verbal behaviors and the nuances of their group interactions — as they swim, party and ride their BMX bikes. As it’s an Ifp Narrative Lab film,...

The Swell Season
Directors: Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins, Carlo Mirabella-Davis
Starring: Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová
Seventh Art Releasing
Release Date: October 21, 2011 (limited)
Everyone has those movies they have a certain kind of special attachment to—movies that moved them, that struck an emotional chord, and left a lasting imprint.
For me, one of those movies was 2006's Once, which tells the story of musician known only as "Guy" who works at his dad's vacuum repair shop and makes a little extra coin by singing his songs on the streets of Ireland, and the young Czech girl he meets one day (fittingly dubbed "Girl") who sells flowers and is also a musician. The two form a strong bond through their music and common troubles they have with former lovers, but, as they go on to collaborate on some incredible music together, each is unsure what it is they want in life and for their futures.

[With the film extending its run in Los Angeles and opening tomorrow in New York, we now revisit Peter's review from Tribeca.] Overall, I must say that I was struck by the similarity of The Swell Season to Hobo with a Shotgun. Well, wait, hold on a sec and I'll explain: both films know what their target audiences expect as they enter the theater, and then do their best to make sure that they leave with their needs met. It's that simple. And in this case, the "best" of writing-directing team Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins, and Carlo Mirabella-Davis is very good indeed. After all, what's the most you could hope for in a doc that chronicles the artistic collaboration, public romance, and slow-dissolve breakup...

In 2006, the world was introduced to Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova by way of a delightful little film called 'Once.' In the film, the two musicians fell in love. In real life, the two musicians also fell in love, but -- like their onscreen characters -- it wasn't meant to be. The difference is that Hansard and Irglova had a tumultuous breakup, which was caught on film by Chris Dapkins, Nick August-Perna and Carlo Mirabella-Davis for their new documentary 'The Swell Season.' Moviefone spoke to Dapkins about the strained relationship between Hansard and Irglova -- as well as the slightly dysfunctional relationship that those two have with fame. Dapkins also explains why you may not like 'The Swell Season' if you really enjoyed 'Once.'

Once casts a long shadow over the The Swell Season, a black-and-white tour documentary co-directed by Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins and Carlo Mirabella-Davis. For one thing the film, which follows musicians-turned-movie stars Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová as they perform under the band name of the title, wouldn't exist if it weren't for Once -- the incredible, unexpected success of the Irish indie romance made celebrities of its leads and netted them an Academy Award for their song "Falling Slowly," one of many we hear them play in the doc. Early on, we're shown Hansard's mother hefting her son's Oscar and speaking of him with pride, musing that if the two musicians were to get married, their children would be able to say "ma and dad have an Oscar each!" Once has allowed the long-struggling Hansard and considerably younger Irglová to become a coveted live act, and it's on tour...

After winning the Oscar for Best Original Song in 2008 for John Carney’s breakout hit Once, real-life sweethearts Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová (who co-starred in the Independent Spirit Award–winning film) hit the road with their band, the Swell Season, for what was to have been an exultant, roof-raising tour of the U.S., Ireland, and Europe. Instead, though greeted enthusiastically by thousands of new fans at sold-out shows, the crazy-in-love couple found themselves strained and ultimately divided by the exposure, a bittersweet trajectory charted in the new documentary, The Swell Season, which opened Silverdocs in June.
For the film, co-directors Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins, and Carlo Mirabella-Davis traveled with Hansard and Irglová for three years capturing footage of their concerts, backstage conversations, and the tensions that simmer, bubble to the surface, and eventually find the warbling Irish duo parting ways romantically.

Some of you may remember the 2006 indie-hit Once, a musical film written and directed by John Carney. Set in Dublin, the film starred musicians Glen Hansard (of popular Irish folk rock band The Frames) and Markéta Irglová as musicians who fall in love. Shot on a microscopic budget of €130,000 (Us$ 160,000), the film became a major box office success while earning enthusiastic reviews and awards such as the 2007 Independent Spirit Award for best foreign film. Hansard and Irglová’s song “Falling Slowly” even received a 2007 Academy Award for Best Original Song and the soundtrack as a whole also received a Grammy nomination.
After the success, the two actors/musicians took their act to the road, and Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins and Carlo Mirabella-Davis were there document the tour. The documentary, named after the group, will be released on October 7th in Los Angeles and will later hit New York on October 21st.

Directed by Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins and Carlo Mirabella-Davis, the doc chronicles the real life journey and relationship of Once duo Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová.

After gaining huge buzz at Sundance in 2007, John Carney's lovely romance Once took plenty more film festivals by storm with its simple story of two unnamed musicians who share an intimate friendship through some truly breathtaking music. It was the film's stars Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová who made the film so genuine and brought the music to life so effortlessly as they were already together as the musical duo known as The Swell Season.

[1] One of the best little films I've ever seen was 2007's Once. I say "little" not because the film was short or insignificant, but because the simple story of two unnamed musicians falling in love had a breathtaking intimacy that made it feel raw and genuine. The real-life tale behind the two stars, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, gave the film an added layer of emotion as well: Hansard and Irglová were (and still are) members of a folk-rock duo called The Swell Season, and while promoting the movie became an actual couple as well. The two eventually broke off their romantic relationship, though they've remained close as colleagues and friends. A documentary telling the true story of The Swell Season has been making the festival rounds, and is set to get a limited theatrical release next month. Directed by Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins, and Carlo Mirabella-Davis, The Swell Season follows the duo's fading romance,...

Well directors Nick August-Perna and Chris Dapkins are giving you the opportunity to catch up with Oncestars Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova in the new documentary appropriately named for their band, The Swell Season.

One of our favorite documentaries of the year tells the story of Once stars Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, who make up the band The Swell Season. Directed by Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins and Carlo Mirabella-Davis, the film focuses on their Oscar win and the impact it had on their real-life romantic relationship and their families. If you are a fan of the band, it is a must-see. We reviewed it at Tribeca this spring and an early teaser debuted, but now Movieline has the official one, which can be seen below.
Synopsis:
In 2008, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová captivated audiences and earned two Academy Awards for their musical collaboration in the film Once. As their fictional romance blurred with reality, they fell in love, recorded an album, and embarked on a world tour. Fueled by two years of exhilaration, performance, and psychological turmoil, The Swell Season is much more than a music documentary.

Another Tff 2011 alum has found a home: band doc The Swell Season will be released this fall by 7th Art Releasing. We're delighted about their expanded exposure. The Swell Season documents three years in the touring/emotional/romantic life of the musical duo (Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova) whose post-Oscar fame - they won the 2007 Oscar for best original song, Falling Slowly, from the musical romance Once, in which they also starred - took a toll on their relationship. Just this week, New Video and 7th Art Releasing acquired rights the to doc, which had its premiere at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival. 7th Art will schedule a platform theatrical release this fall, and New Video will handle cable VOD, digital and DVD in the U.S. through its Docurama Films brand.

Anyone who enjoyed the charming catharsis of Once back in 2006, and then saw musicians Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová graciously accept an Oscar for the title track “Falling Slowly” at the 80th Academy Awards, are probably already big fans of the band The Swell Season. Seeking out and watching the documentary The Swell Season - which works almost as a real-life sequel to Once - is essential to anyone who wants to continue on with the lives of both artists as they struggle to maintain their musical integrity, their friendship, and their very public love affair.

What happens to the real lives of two artists after they earn an Academy Award for their fictional love story? What happens to their very real, non-fictional relationship? “The Swell Season,” the documentary that made its Tribeca Film Festival premiere last week, is the epilogue to Oscar-winning “Once,” which in its way parses the truth and fiction of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova for the duo’s fans. Over three years, directors Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins and Carlo Mirabella-Davis filmed the Swell Season as they promoted the soundtrack music and newer album “Strict Joy.” The stint was not just a glimpse...

The Swell Season
Directed by Nick August-Perna & Chris Dapkins
2011, USA
The Swell Season provides the next chapter of a hopefully long and amazing journey of folk rock musicians Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, 2007 Academy Award winners for best original song, Falling Slowly, from the film Once. These struggling artists’ lives embrace the vision of following one’s musical and cinematic dream where ever that may lead.
The initial tones of quiet and at times riveting concert footage, oozes of Lennon and Ono-type muse relationship. Glen and Marketa’s chemistry is not without doubts, pitfalls, and new peaks to conquer. Directors August-Perna and Dapkins stay distant enough from their dynamic to allow these now rising artists to show audiences who they are. In an era of ever-diminishing privacy, especially for celebrities, this film brilliantly broaches the subject of an artist’s inner creative self, and to what extent fans crave artists...

When “Once,” the small story of an earnest Irish busker singing earnest songs who falls for an earnest Czech immigrant, was released in 2006, it enchanted even the most hard-hearted movie critics. It wasn’t just diehard indie folk fans that wanted to eat “Once’s” two characters alive. Everyone of every temperament, style and taste loved “Once’s” stripped-down approach to the musical, the lack of grandiose dance numbers and groan-inducing punnery in its songs; even the notorious cranks at the Village Voice called it “one of the greatest musicals of the modern age.” It was a slice-of-life musical, a movie about two down-on-their-luck people writing songs on the spot, harmonizing them and then falling in love through developing them, but—in typical jaded indie cinema verite fashion—they remain too meek and earnest to act on their love.

Overall, I must say that I was struck by the similarity of The Swell Season to Hobo with a Shotgun. Well, wait, hold on a sec and I'll explain: both films know what their target audiences expect as they enter the theater, and then do their best to make sure that they leave with their needs met. It's that simple. And in this case, the "best" of writing-directing team Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins, and Carlo Mirabella-Davis is very good indeed. After all, what's the most you could hope for in a doc that chronicles the artistic collaboration, public romance, and slow-dissolve breakup of Oscar-winners Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová? Would it be a bracingly personal, smart, and bittersweet (but not cloying) film with...

For fans of Once, The Swell Season serves as a bittersweet epilogue to the adored Irish indie. Those who saw more than just onscreen romance blossom between a ragged but dashing Dublin busker and a sweet-faced piano-playing Czech, will be drawn to this documentary that chronicles the three years following Once stars Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová meteoric rise to fame following their Oscar win for Best Original Song for “Falling Slowly.” As that film found fans worldwide, so did its stars — affectionately known as Glen and Mar — as their real-life romance drew notice. Fans flocked to their concerts not only to revel in their beautiful music but also to see the love forged onscreen made manifest on stage. It was a charming story that swept the world, and helped make its lovers famous. However, The Swell Season documentary reveals what happens to this love and the work it inspires...

Last night I had the pleasure of attending a pre-screening for the Tribeca Film Festival documentary The Swell Season. Co-directed by Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins and Carlo Mirabella-Davis, the film chronicles the post-Oscar win journey of Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, who starred in Once and make up the band The Swell Season.
The film tells the backstory of their lives (with a strong focus on Hansard’s side) against their own personal relationship. For those that don’t know they began dating then broke up, but continued to tour. The footage the team was able to capture is quite impressive and as a huge fan of the band and film, I’d highly recommend it. Check out the trailer (via Awards Wiz) below, along with screening times.
Synopsis:
In 2008, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová captivated audiences and earned two Academy Awards for their musical collaboration in the film Once.

Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m operating on, because what better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? Some of the best authors will tell you that writing a short story is a lot harder than writing a long one, that you have to weigh every sentence. What better medium to see how this theory plays itself out beyond that than with movie trailers? The Swell Season Trailer Enraged. Absolutely enraged that I can’t see this movie, right now. Part of me realizes that saying that those of...

Writers/Directors: Carlo Mirabella-Davis (Producer), Nick August-Perna (Editor), Chris Dapkins (Director of Photography) Tribeca: Tell us a little about The Swell Season. Carlo Mirabella-Davis: It's a film that has the same title as the band The Swell Season, made up of band members Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, and it's essentially a music documentary that chronicles their rise to fame after their Oscar win in 2007 for their musical performances in the film Once. The film is a deeply intimate portrait of their relationship after the win and of their music as they get more thrust into the limelight, and eventually the way that that limelight creates a sense of scrutiny that dissolves their relationship. So it's a love story with great music all the way through, and it's full of a lot of moments of joy and also of sadness. Tribeca: So what drew you to Marketa and Glen's story initially?...
