CINEVEGAS SNAPSHOTS
Cinetic’s Matt Dentler with “Winnebago Man” writer/producer Malcolm Pullinger and director Ben Steinbauer.
Dentler talked up his company’s new VOD channel called Cinetic Film Buff, going live on July 15. Every month the channel will release 5 new or library films, which effectively puts Dentler, the former film producer of SXSW, back into a curatorial role. Dentler said they are in talks with several distributors to air their libraries, including the troubled New Yorker Films.
Mike Plante, newly promoted to Film Programmer of the fest, makes a quick correction to his badge. Why not print a new one? “In this ecomony?” joked Plante.
Poker legend Amarillo Slim with Doug Tirola, director of the doc “All In: The Poker Movie.” Cinetic is selling the rights after the pic’s CineVegas premiere. “We just want to make our money back so we can do another movie,” said Tirola.
