I took this picture outside Los Angeles' Cinefamily theater, where "Bellflower" had its first LA screening and moments after director Evan Glodell demonstrated the unholy fire-belching powers of the Medusa. The racket was extraordinary and the Fairfax Ave. location was an engraved invitation for arrest and impoundment. But the demo went off without a hitch and I ran into the street (between lights, checking for traffic) to take this picture of the victorious "Bellflower" crew. No sooner than I was back on the sidewalk than one of LA's finest rolled up next to the Medusa. Evan stuck his head in the police car and I looked at my feet; I didn't want to see the night spoiled by Medusa being towed, or worse. But then the cops drove away. I asked Evan what happened. "It was nothing," he said. "They just didn't want people standing in the middle of the street to take a picture." [Photo by Dana Harris]

Nicole Holofcener's ("Please Give," "Lovely and Amazing") first feature "Walking and Talking" came out in 1996, the same year indieWIRE first launched. So it was no brainer that indieWIRE (in collaboration with 92YTribeca) chose the comedy to kickoff a series of events and screenings toasting to the company's birthday Wednesday night. Holofcener's Manhattan-set debut stars Catherine Keener and Anne Heche as two best friends struggling to move smoothly into the next phase of adulthood. The film also stars a young Liev Schrieber and Kevin Corrigan ("Pineapple Express," "Superbad"). Corrigan (center), along with the film's editor Alisa Lepselter (Woody Allen's main gal since "Sweet and Lowdown") and an extra from the film (Corrigan's friend) took part in a Q&A at 92YTribeca moderated by indieWIRE's critic Eric Kohn. Lepselter, who hasn't worked with Holofcener since, said the reason they parted ways was due to Holofcener's move to Los Angeles from New York. She spoke fondly of their time together. Corrigan meanwhile reminisced about how this was the film to get him noticed by critics. He's since gone on to work with Holofcener again in her most recent comedy, "Please Give." Holofcener recently took part in a FIRST PERSON feature for indieWIRE where she looked back on making her debut.
