With the Milwaukee Film Festival making its debut this Thursday, there's no doubt Milwaukeeans have movies on their minds. The film festival is sure to be 11 days of cinematic intrigue, but if you just can't stand to wait until Thursday to get into a dark theater, consider UWM's free screenings at its Union Theatre, which begin Wednesday, Sept. 23 and continue through Saturday, Sept. 26.

Bunker won't let economy dampen his film work
The current economic climate might not really seem to be the time to try to raise nearly $185,000 to try and make an independent, feature-length film, but that's not stopping Milwaukee filmmaker Tate Bunker. Bunker, along with Found the Ribbon Films -- run by The Wicked Hop's Miles O'Neil -- is pounding the pavement and working the phones to finance what they call, "a high-end, low-budget, simple and captivating film to screen and sell at a major festival."
