As of late, the name Karen has been synonymous with entitlement, bigotry and “I want to speak to a manager” energy. What better way to explore this phenomenon than with a suspense thriller appropriately titled Karen starring Taryn Manning as the titular touchstone of privilege?
The Orange Is The New Black alum is set to play Karen White (a suitable name) who believes that races should stick to their “own kind”. She carries this belief into her neighborhood. So when her new Black neighbors Assata and Malik move in, she makes it her personal mission to remove them from the neighborhood, by any means necessary. However, Assata and Malik don’t have time for this. As cardholding Black Lives Matter members they aren’t going down without a fight.
Karen is written and directed by Coke Daniels. The film will be produced by Daniels, Manning and Craig Chapman. Vanzil Burke and Victor Burke,...

Movies traditionally are released in theaters on Wednesdays and Fridays, but come Monday, April 20, “4/20” the movie will be released on Vimeo on the date that’s considered a perennial stoner holiday — it has even greater significance this month seeing as the year is 2020.
Producer Corey Moss, a veteran of MTV and management company Principato-Young, says the film is taking its lead from “Super Troopers 2,” which opened on April 20, 2018, and went on to gross $18.4 million at the U.S. box office. “Whoever picked that release date was brilliant,” he says. “Back then, we jokingly said we should make a weed movie for next year’s 4/20. Then we jokingly said we should call it 4/20. Then we jokingly said it should be like ‘Love Actually’ or the Garry Marshall holiday movies, with multiple storylines that interweave.”
Actually, “4/20” has more in common with Kevin Smith’s stoner classic “Clerks” and Netflix’s series “Disjointed.

A pair of experienced partners are launching a production company that will roll out a wide range of projects. Digital media vet Corey Moss and writer Brad T. Gottfred are the co-founders of Bold Soul Studios, which will work on both scripted and unscripted programs.
Bold Soul's lineup will play to the strength of its two leaders. Gottfred has written several novels for Ya audiences, and Bold Soul's scripted content is aimed squarely at that audience. One of Gottfred and Moss' first collaborations is the teen drama The Boonies, which features Calum Worthy and social star Amymarie Gaertner among its cast and recently premiered via Go90.
Moss, on the other hand, has more than a decade of digital media experience to his name. During his stint at Hearst Digital Studios, his list of credits included several Go90 shows, including sports docuseries and Streamy Award nominee QB1: Beyond The Lights. At Bold Soul,...

Around these parts, we’re all very proud of Corey Moss and Josh Morrisroe, two former MTV News employees who recently directed a damn fine documentary that hits DVD this week. It’s called “Dear Jack,” and it’s the heartbreaking, uplifting tale of Something Corporate/Jack’s Mannequin frontman Andrew McMahon’s battle with leukemia. I can remember a few years back, when Josh and Corey were assigned to do a story on Andrew – and it turned out to be so much more.
“We were both working at MTV, and I got a call on a Sunday morning from a publicist friend of mine who invited me down for a studio visit - I called Josh and said, ‘Hey man, I know it’s a Sunday, but can you come down and help me shoot this thing?’ We went, but we didn’t really know exactly what it was,...
