Udine 2014 Review: TINY TIMES Is A Flashy, Slight Shanghai Rom-Com

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 03:00 AM PDT

Chinese emerging young designers are quietly but forcibly taking the fashion world by storm, and in recent years Shanghai has become the "it" place for all ambitious individuals who want to contribute to this all-over impressive movement.Set against the backdrop of the great change that China is going through both socially and culturally, Guo Jingming's shamelessly ostentatious and lightweight rom-com Tiny Times belittles the otherwise impressive potential hidden in Shanghai's fashion sphere. With a sexual appeal infantile enough to serve one of the popular American teen series of the last decade, Guo's flashy and rich girl-powered tale of fulfilling dreams and maintaining one's aspirations finds drama in perhaps the most shallow junctures on a road to stardom.Due to the very rapid and perhaps unprecedented pace of...

Get An EXCLUSIVE First Look At THE BURNING KISS Poster

Posted: 27 Apr 2014 08:00 PM PDT

Following the premiere of the exclusive teaser for new Australian feature film The Burning Kiss, Twitch has an exclusive new poster for the film to show you. Director Robbie Studsor appreciates the importance of film poster artwork, and in particular how it can capture the essence of a movie. "Let's face it; almost all movie fans are also 'movie poster fans' and it's certainly something we consider extremely important. I think everyone agrees that great film artwork goes beyond promotion and actually becomes an artistic extension of the film; in some instances it's even inseparable! For me, this poster is no exception and I love how the designer has incorporated some classic style from the golden era of 60s cinema artwork," said Studsor. The Burning Kiss is...
