Traina Productions, in association with Rbf Productions, has launched production in New Jersey on One Stupid Thing, a suspense/drama directed by Linda Yellen, and written by Yellen and Michael Leeds. The film stars Corey Fogelmanis (Girl Meets World), Jack Wright, Sky Katz (Surviving Summer), Shelby Simmons (Stargirl), and Alfredo Narciso (The Summer I Turned Pretty).
Three high school friends share a deeply bonded friendship, until one winter night on a Nantucket rooftop, a harmless game takes a fatal turn, and the course of their lives changes forever. For nearly a year, they keep what they did a secret until the following winter break when they meet a girl (Katz) with her own dark past who helps them uncover what really happened that night – and who is behind it.
“When I read the script, I loved that it featured four completely different young leads who are so bonded,...

Producers of the last film to feature Hollywood icon Dennis Hopper are turning to Kickstarter to complete the film.
Filming on comedy The Last Film Festival came to a halt four years ago when Easy Rider star Hopper died from cancer aged 74.
The production is now looking to raise $90,000 to complete post-production and assist distribution on the feature, in which Hopper stars as a big-shot Hollywood producer whose recent flop is accepted in just one film festival – the disastrously executed O’Hi Film Festival.
The cast also includes Jacqueline Bisset, Joseph Cross, JoBeth Williams, Katrina Bowden, Chris Kattan, Leelee Sobieski, and Donnell Rawlings.
The picture was written specifically for Hopper by director Linda Yellen and her writing partner Michael Leeds, who pitched the idea to the star after meeting at Sundance. Yellen produces with Bob Jorissen.

It's been nearly five years since the death of Dennis Hopper - but there's a strand of hope for what would have been his final film.
It's been nearly five years since the death of Dennis Hopper, at the age of 74. At the time he died, he was working on what would have been his final movie, The Last Film Festival. The film was a few scenes short of completion, and starred Hopper as a Hollywood producer, whose recent movie flop gets accepted in just one film festival. And not a good one.
Called the O'Hi Film Festival, Hopper's producer and his crew then descend on the small time of O'Hi, and chaos ensues. Well, it would have done, had the film been finished. But now a new campaign has been launched to try and get The Last Film Festival finally over the line.
