Michael Rymer.
Australian director Michael Rymer started his career with 1995's Angel Baby, going on to direct features such as Queen of the Damned in 2002 and Face to Face in 2011.
Rymer has also become a prolific director of American television, with credits including Battlestar Galactica, American Horror Story, Longmire, The Killing, Hannibal, The Man in the High Castle and Jessica Jones, for which he recently received a Hugo Award.
The director has been in Los Angeles for most of 2016, pitching a TV show that he hopes to shoot in Melbourne next year: Tremula, based on a feature script written by Queensland writers Shayne Armstrong and Shane Krause.
"Their agent Jean sent me the screenplay of the movie and I liked it a lot," says Rymer. "I just thought it was a good elevated sci-fi piece; very conceptual, very character-driven.".

Without further adieu these are the top 10 films that seriously made me appreciate this beautiful medium.10 - Face to Face (Australia, Dir. Michael Rymer) Face to Face is an excellent socio-psychological study on a mixed group of people, some privy to an assault on one man by his employee and others less guilty and involved, or are they? Face to Face consistently turns assumptions and stereotypes on its head by changing each character organically as the film progresses and it is an incredible thing to witness. The key people responsible gather together with a councilor to work out who is at fault and why before any official charge is laid. It is unlike any Australian film and thankfully breaks the mold, not to mention...

Let's start the weekly round-up with Grimm.
Grimm's ratings dropped a little this week, but the show still won the 18-49 demo in its timeslot, finishing ahead of CSI: NY, Fringe and Supernatural, and rising by a full frakking ratings point (1.8) after Chuck (0.8). Wake up, Chuck.
Hitfix visited the set in Portland recently and posted a lengthy report. Here is a snippet:
Sasha Roiz on how his character will develop later in the series: "I’m not a Grimm descendent, but I'm a descendent of a long line that dates back just as Grimm does and we have a bit of a history and a past, so my line is a royal line and that will slowly unfold throughout the series."Collider has a longer interview with Sasha and Reggie Lee (more at the link):
It’s nice to see your character – like the main character – has the duality.

Snowtown and The Eye of the Storm are the latest in a new wave of Australian films that rely less on rugged exteriors and more on contained emotional drama
From a controversial horror featuring a sadistic bushranger, to a Melbourne-set gangster saga, to a raucous documentary on 70s Ozploitation flicks, you'd have to have your head buried in the outback to have not noticed the sterling work going on in Australian cinema. And in case you thought Wolf Creek, Animal Kingdom and Not Quite Hollywood were some sort of fleeting mirage, check out the impressive directorial debuts from Patrick Hughes (the suspenseful neo-western Red Hill), Leon Ford (Griff the Invisible – a remarkable romantic ode to superhero flicks) or Ben C Lucas (Wasted on the Young – a nightmarish social networking thriller). They're all evidence of fine Aussie film-making talent that proves you don't need special effects nor mega bucks to make intelligent,...

Michael Rymer opted to shoot Face to Face on the Canon 1D. Encore managing editor Brooke Hemphill took both the 1D and 7D on a shoot out, where did her vote land? Read on.
Readers of past product reviews will recall my love for the Canon 5D which has only somewhat diminished in recent months after a three-day shoot in the snow singlehandedly playing camera and sound girl with the aforementioned camera. The whole process of lugging separate audio equipment tends to become tiresome especially with all those battery changes and memory cards to keep track of. But there are many other Canon Dslr cameras out there and I’ve now had the pleasure of playing with both the 7D and the 1D. Since everyone on the interwebs is doing it, I thought I’d do a little comparison review for you.

Face to Face director Michael Rymer talks about his new film, working on a low budget, and the Australian film system’s accountability.
To sci-fi nerds around the world Michael Rymer might best be known as one of the driving forces behind Battlestar Galactica’s resurrection, directing 22 episodes and producing 40 episodes. To Australian audiences, he directed Angel Baby starring Jacqueline McKenzie and John Lynch.
Rymer’s new film, Face to Face is an adaptation of a David Williamson play about conflict resolution in the Australian workplace. It’s a tightly woven script based on real conflict resolution transcripts. “It has big ideas and it’s a microcosm of Australia, dealing with workplace relations, race, sex and class. I don’t believe it’s a small film, it’s a big film done inexpensively.”
Despite names like Sigrid Thornton, Vince Colosimo and Matthew Newton, the film was made on a low...

Weekend updates, in random order:
Red Dot Diva has a new interview with Sasha Roiz. He talks about Caprica among other things (and do check out the photo of Sam Adama he posted on Fb this week):
Red Dot Diva: After "Caprica" was cancelled, was there actually something you were glad that you needn't have to go through every day during filming?
Sasha: I don't miss the tattooing process each morning. But I miss the show and the wonderful friends and team that I had the pleasure to work with.
Red Dot Diva: And what was the most heartfelt moments you took back with you after the "Caprica" experience?
Sasha: The people were what made that experience so special for me. I adored my cast mates, many of whom have remained dear friends. I had a chance to work with some of the finest writers and producers in the...

Michael Rymer, director of Face to Face, due out on September 8, said the success of Red Dog helps his film. “Every film that does well, Like Red Dog, benefits little films like Face to Face and big films like The Eye of the Storm. We can all lift up together. I know that sounds incredibly hippy-ish, but you know.”
Red Dog, the Australian film about a hitchhiking dog that captures the hearts of a 1970s mining town in the Pilbara, has now reached the $10.5m mark at the box office and in the process, surpassed classic Australian films’ box office success such as the The Castle and Shine.
In its fourth weekend, the film, directed by Kriv Stenders (Boxing Day) took $1.9m across 257 screens, averaging $7393 per screen.

Matthew Newton has been described as "smart" and "talented" by various professionals within the acting industry. The Australian Underbelly star, who has been in and out of a psychiatric clinic in Sydney since he allegedly attacked then-girlfriend Rachael Taylor last year, is still remembered by some former colleagues as a polite and hard-working actor. Director Michael Rymer, who worked with Newton on Face to Face, has credited him with helping him make the low-budget film in a very short period of time. He told The Daily Telegraph: "Matthew brought so much filmmaker's intelligence to the role. He's a smart guy who gets it. He was late a few times but he's a total professional. Good-mannered and easy to direct because he's a director himself." Rymer also revealed that when he shows the movie to Americans, (more)...

One chaotic round of updates coming up.
Jane Espenson has announced the new project she has been working on with Alessandra Torresani, Brad Bell (Cheeks) and Sean Hemeon, in an interview with CliqueClack. Yes, it's Husbands, a web series about "two guys, a newly dating couple, who celebrate a new marriage equality law in Vegas and wake up married." A couple of snippets from the interview:
Km: What do you hope to become of Husbands in the long run? If it simply stays as a free series on the web, will that satisfy not only you but the actors?
Je: Honestly, I would love to see Husbands turn into a network television show. I’m loving the freedom that we’re enjoying as we put it together ourselves, but there’s something about it that feels so accessible — it’s Ab Fab, Dharma and Greg, Will and Grace … it feels...

Let's start with Sasha Roiz - he makes his first appearance on Warehouse 13 tomorrow (Monday, 9/8c, Syfy).
CP24 has a recent video interview with him and he also did a Q&A with the press that is finally up on several sites. I think Starry Mag has the least edited version of it. The interview is mostly about Warehouse 13, but he also talks about his other new projects and Caprica. Snippets:
So can you at least tell us how many episode we’re going to see you in Warehouse 13?
I’m not sure the specific number, but I mean I’m there for a good chunk. But I’m there for a good - yes, all the sudden this just doesn’t make sense you know. But no, I’m there for a good chunk of the season,...

It seemed like such an exciting, odd sort of adventure to go on and I couldn.t turn it down.. The adventure in question . based on acclaimed Australian playwright David Williamson.s play of the same name . takes its audience inside the claustrophobic, controversial world of .dispute resolution..

To start with the good news, Sasha Roiz will be back on TV every week this fall. His new show, Grimm, has been picked up to series by NBC. Spoiler TV has the first still from the pilot, which was written and exec produced by David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf, and we'll probably get more details about the show after the upfronts. For now, here are the basics, from TV Line:
A fantastical drama, Grimm stars David Giuntoli (Privileged) as a detective whose mission is to protect humans living in a world where Grimm’s Fairy Tale characters actually exist. Silas Weir Mitchell (Prison Break), Sasha Roiz (Caprica) and Kate Burton also star.The bad news from NBC is that 17th Precinct didn't make the cut. Not much to add that hasn't been said at the Battlestar Blog.
David E. Kelley's take on Wonder Woman hasn't been picked up either.

Hellcats has only three episodes left this season. The show still hasn't been picked up and, since it came back from the break, it has been chalking Caprica's Friday night ratings. (If you're a fan, it's probably time to start spreading the word.)
A quick update on Eric Stoltz appearing on Wilfred, since the news was picked up by Spoiler TV, several other sites, and even Wilfred the Dog himself -- the original tweet from the show's casting director has been removed, so possibly daddy Graystone won't be making that appearance after all.

Michael Rymer’s independent feature Face to Face has won the Best Film award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
“I am absolutely thrilled that the film has won this award at its first ever screening, and am delighted that this low budget minnow has been lauded by critics and film goers alike,” said Rymer.
The micro-budget film was financed independently and shot over 12 days in Melbourne, and stars Vince Colosimo, Sigrid Thornton, Luke Ford and troubled actor Matthew Newton. The actors are also shareholders in the film.
Face to Face is based on transcripts from actual conflict resolution sessions. In the film, Wayne, a young scaffold construction worker, rams into the back of his boss’ car in a fit of anger at being sacked. Rather than going straight to court, he opts for a community conference to discuss the events that led to such a violent reaction.
