From the New York Times bestselling author of "Fif

From the New York Times bestselling author of "Fifth Avenue," "Five A.M.," and "Fosse" comes the revelatory account of making a modern American masterpiece. Chinatown is the Holy Grail of 1970s cinema. Its twist ending is the most notorious in American film, and its closing line of dialogue is the most haunting. Here, for the first time, is the incredible true story of its making.

In Sam Wasson's telling, it becomes the defining story of the most colorful characters in the most colorful period of Hollywood history. Here is Jack Nicholson at the height of his powers, as compelling a movie star as there has ever been, embarking on his great, doomed love affair with Anjelica Huston. Here is director Roman Polanski, both predator and prey, haunted by the savage death of his wife, returning to Los Angeles, the scene of the crime, where the seeds of his self-destruction are quickly planted. Here is the fevered dealmaking of "The Kid" Robert Evans, the most consummate of producers. Here too is Robert Towne's fabled script, widely considered the greatest original screenplay ever written. Wasson for the first time peels off layers of myth to provide the true account of its creation.

Looming over the story of this classic movie is the imminent eclipse of the '70s filmmaker-friendly studios as they gave way to the corporate Hollywood we know today. In telling that larger story, The Big Goodbye will take its place alongside classics like Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, and The Devil's Candy as one of the great movie-world books.

This webinar features Cathie Saadeh, an entertainment attorney. Independent films are typically funded through some combination of personal funds, grants, donations through a fiscal sponsor, equity investments, crowdfunding, in-kind contributions, and even product placement opportunities! This webinar will discuss how these pieces fit together, the options available to filmmakers, legal considerations when dealing with investors, and how the presence of multiple funding types can affect the film's distribution waterfall. The discussion will include a "filmmaker-friendly" discussion of the federal securities laws administered by the SEC, and the various exemptions that may be used to conduct an investment offering.

This summer, WIFV Film Club has enjoyed a fun and

This summer, WIFV Film Club has enjoyed a fun and interesting series – "Summer Strangers." Since June we've discussed films that find its protagonists making a new friend — or foe — who will change their lives, often in disastrous ways.

We end our series with FALLEN, a 1998 supernatural thriller starring Denzel Washington. The film was directed by Gregory Hoblit (PRIMAL FEAR) from a screenplay by Nicholas Kazan. John Goodman, Donald Sutherland, Embeth Davidtz, and James Gandolfini also star.

Homicide detective John Hobbes (Washington) witnesses the execution of serial killer Edgar Reese. Soon after the execution, however, the killings start again in a similar style to Reese but committed by complete strangers. FALLEN sticks with viewers long after the credits roll because it pushes the boundaries of what true evil is or could be.

Watch the film in advance of the Film Club Meeting. FALLEN is available for rent on AppleTV, Amazon and YouTube.
