Bay Area Reporter - Short But Sweet

The Bay Area Reporter has a piece up about highlights from the first week of shorts programs from Frameline 33 (LGBT Film Festival) and Guin gets a wee mention.

"Little Mutinies Three women, a mom and two almost-grown sisters, find the accommodations a little stifling in a small RV. Queer diva Guinevere Turner is sublime as a mom who'd just like to get a little reading in before bed. Elizabeth Stark and Angie Powers find nonverbal cues for this story's cute switcheroo."

Tales from the Script - with Guin Turner

It's been an age since we had something concrete to update you all with. Today though news that Guin is taking part in a new documentary titled "Tales from the Script". The Doco will feature a multitude of scriptwriters as they wax lyrical about their misadventures in the script writing world.

As Variety reports:
 "All scriptwriters with even modest tenures in Hollywood have hilarious/horrifying anecdotes about the crass, craven, insecure, insane, inept, insincere, two-faced and just plain idiotic people in the film business who, unfortunately for them, have more power than they do. If they're good with words, which they are supposed to be, writers can go all night long one-upping each other with outrageous stories of artistry ignored and erudition undone by the vulgarity of agents, executives and the marketplace."

The film is expected to hit festivals, get a DVD release later in the year and even have an accompanying book.

Feed the series by Mel Robertson - Worth watching

A heads up about "Feed" a - fairly - new series produced by out filmmaker Mel Robertson. Mel and her crew have come up with a show that is thought provoking and really well written and acted. We only just found this recently due to Guin's involvement in the series, but wanted to highlight it here because we're enjoying it and thought you might also.

Mel has given us permission to use some images from the series here at GuinTurner.com and we've decided to kick off Gallery Two with some of the images featuring Guin on set.

You can check out the first episode below and the rest at the Feed site. Guin is yet to appear at time of writing, but when she does we'll be sure and let you all know.
