You can watch the films and vote for your favorite here.Yasuo Takamatsu, a devoted husband who tragically lost his wife in the Japanese Tsunami of 2011, is the emotional center of the excellent and moving documentary short film “Nowhere to Go But Everywhere,” which is a finalist in TheWrap’s ShortList Film Festival 2023. The catastrophic Tsunami, which left almost 20,000 people dead and nearly half a million homeless, was triggered by an underwater earthquake that occurred off the eastern coast of Japan on March 11, 2011.
Months after the tragedy, Takamatsu was able to recover his wife’s phone in the parking lot of the bank where she worked.Takamatsu found the pink flip phone with an unsent text message he didn’t receive: “So much tsunami,” it read.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Hey, if it ain’t broke — don’t fix it. Imax developed control software that emulates a two-decade-old PalmPilot PDA for the release of Christopher Nolan’s three-hour “Oppenheimer” epic. The 70mm Imax print of “Oppenheimer” comprises a whopping 11 miles of film stock weighing about 600 pounds, and required the company to build extensions to accommodate the larger size of the film platters. That’s because Imax’s existing platters could only hold enough film for a 150-minute runtime. Imax’s PalmPilot software runs the projection systems’ Quick Turn Reel Unit, which manages the operation and transition between multiple reels.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill on Monday that extends the state’s $330 million tax incentive for film and TV production. The program will be extended for five years through 2030. For the first time, the credit will be refundable, meaning that companies like Netflix that have little or no state tax liability can receive cash back from the state. That change has been estimated to cost $200 million. The bill is the result of more than a year of bargaining between Hollywood studios, entertainment unions and state lawmakers. In addition to extending the credit, the bill also includes an incentive for productions to hire a diverse workforce, both on screen and behind the camera.

Influential Japanese artist Hiromasa Ogura was behind the art direction for the cult classic – he also designed the cover art for producer Tainy’s full-length debut album “Data.” The anime is one of the Puerto Rican hitmaker’s favorites for its dark, moody aesthetics and for its message of individuality in a high-tech world. Leading up to “Data’s” release on Thursday, Tainy posted a series of stills that outlined the concept behind the 20-song album that features over 20 artists.
