The aftermath of Covid-19 continues to be felt in the world of academia, and its impact has extended to The Hollywood Reporter‘s annual list of the world’s best music schools. Some programs, like the Sundance Institute Film Scoring Program, have shut down, while others have managed to launch and survive during the pandemic. The Film Scoring Academy of Europe makes its debut on this list, and another new program, at Brooklyn College/Cuny’s Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema, offers a master of fine arts degree in media scoring. The past year also has upended THR‘s top rankings a bit as ascendant Columbia College Chicago moves into the top spot, overtaking perennial leaders USC Los Angeles Thornton School of Music and The Juilliard School.

While instructors and students alike are breathing a sigh of relief at the prospect of a return to relative normality, Patrick Kirst, interim director of the USC Thornton School of Music, points out that a full school year incorporating remote classes via Zoom actually resulted in some permanent changes that were advantageous. “I felt for sure that I could show certain things on ...

From its auspicious beginning as a novel written by then-15-year-old author Beth Reekles on the self-publish site Wattpad, to its wildly popular film debut on Netflix, “The Kissing Booth” has proven itself a hit. It spoke to its target audience without speaking down to them, telling the story of a young woman confronted with the challenge of choosing between a longterm relationship with her male best friend or a budding romance with his hotter older brother. Though its imaginatively named sequel “The Kissing Booth 2” hits similar beats, themes and emotional touchstones, it delivers a few refreshing details by giving the heroine more agency in her quest to find happiness — yet not quite enough to justify its interminable run time.

Join us as we talk to writer/director Drew Hall about his latest genre-spanning film, the psychological thriller titled Convergence.
Convergence is the latest film from American filmmaker Drew Hall, whose previous credits include Sons of Liberty and The Phoenix Rises. This latest film, of which Drew was involved as both writer and director, is an intense supernatural thriller. The film focuses on a detective who fights to redeem his soul when he becomes trapped in a hospital that serves as a gateway between heaven and hell. Starring Clayne Crawford (Rectify) and Ethan Embry (Can’t Hardly Wait), check out the trailer below.
The trailer for Convergence definitely has a lot going on. It’s action-packed but also has this horror film vibe, even some religious imagery. Suffice to say, it doesn’t seem easily categorized. How would you best describe the film to the uninitiated? What can they expect?...
