in John Ford's 1962 western The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, newspaper editor Maxwell Scott famously quips, "This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."
* "Glimpse of the Garden" (1957)The Collective's overarching goal, Pham says, is to "expand the event filmmaker's vision." We'll see how well they succeed in doing so in October and April, when legend at last gives way to fact.IN PIERRE Morel's brutal, adrenalinepumping action thriller, statuesque Irish actor Liam Neeson is the unlikely choice for leading man.The boulevards of Paris are littered with dead bodies and implausibilities by the time the end credits roll as the invincible hero relentlessly pursues his quarry, snapping arms as if they were dry twigs.* "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," 1962, director John Ford's last great Western. The film shows that the conquest of the West meant the triumph of civilization, embodied in Jimmy Stewart, over wild innocence -- John Wayne -- and evil -- Lee Marvin.Comments?

After selling out the 50 available slots for Re:Frame 08 in a 10-day sprint in March, the Re:Frame Collective members wasted little time in plotting their next move. Rather than waiting for the chance to prove they could deliver the goods-a chance that will come in New Orleans this October-they put the power of positive buzz to the test again in June by announcing that Re:Frame is moving west for its first 2009 event: Re:Frame Austin, scheduled for April 27-29 in the Omni hotel in downtown Austin, Texas.With demand so far exceeding supply, the wedding video industry waited with bated breath to see what would follow Re:Frame 2008. The answer: Re:Frame Austin. Re:Frame Austin will resemble Re:Frame 08 in several respects: 50 attendees only; five-star hotel; VIP treatment for all; upscale, all-inclusive price (this time it's $1,500, compared to New Orleans' $1,299); exclusive focus on wedding video business, craft, and technique; eight presenters doing 2-3 hour workshop-style sessions; a focus on the overall attendee experience; and a strong sense of place.* "Bullitt" (1968)
