Under a fingernail moon, surrounded by the silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Highlands, North Carolina, JJ Grey & Mofro took a moment to soak in the beauty of this year’s Bear Shadow music festival.
“This song is about my love affair with the ocean,” Grey noted of his native Jacksonville, Florida, before launching into “The Sea,” the first tune from his latest album, Olustee. “And I know y’all got a love affair with these mountains.”

The surviving members of the Allman Brothers Band have paid tribute “with deep sadness” to guitarist Dickey Betts, a founding member of the group who died Thursday at age 80.
“His extraordinary guitar playing alongside guitarist Duane Allman created a unique dual guitar signature sound that became the signature sound of the genre known as Southern Rock,” the statement reads. “He was passionate in life, be it music, songwriting, fishing, hunting, boating, golf, karate, or boxing. Dickey was all in on and excelled at anything that caught his attention.”

Dickey Betts, co-founding member of The Allman Brothers Band who was responsible for the band’s biggest hit “Ramblin’ Man,” has died at the age of 80.
Betts’ manager told Rolling Stone that the musician passed away on Thursday, April 18th, from cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
“The legendary performer, songwriter, bandleader and family patriarch was at his home in Osprey, Florida, surrounded by his family,” they said in a statement. “Dickey was larger than life, and his loss will be felt worldwide. At this difficult time, the family asks for prayers and respect for their privacy in the coming days. More information will be forthcoming at the appropriate time.”
Betts was a co-founding member of The Allman Brothers band alongside brothers Duane and Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks, Jaimoe Johanson, and Berry Oakley. When Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle crash in 1971, Betts assumed the role of the group...

Johnny Flynn said it was “brilliant” to be killed on “Ripley” — though his character Dickie Greenleaf may disagree.
The English actor joined his costars in Italy for preproduction and rehearsals on Steve Zaillian’s Netflix series, but then Flynn flew back home when the cameras started rolling. Costar Andrew Scott and others started out with scenes from later in the series, after Dickie’s death in Episode 3, and when Flynn returned it was to start things off with that fateful boat sequence.
“I love tech, the technical aspects of filmmaking, and I’ve never been part of a sequence that’s been more technical,” Flynn said at a panel discussion with Zaillian and the cast after an early screening of Episodes 1-3 in New York City. “It was like one of the first things that we did because we had the stuff in the tank and then they knew what...

When I saw the first black-and-white still of Andrew Scott in and as “Ripley,” I was sold — and I know I’m not alone.
The 47-year-old actor might seem like an unexpected choice to step into the shoes of Tom Ripley, but for anyone following his career, it could not have been a more perfect casting or welcome treat. From the very first moments, Steve Zaillian’s “Ripley” is one of those projects that hinges entirely upon its lead actor, a vehicle for Mr. Ripley’s talents that buoys sharp direction, artistic choices, and lush cinematography in its wake.
As for casting the man last seen on TV as Hot Priest in the role of a known sociopath (though Scott and Zaillian dislike labeling their antihero), we must turn to Tumblr. With Instagram in its infancy and TikTok still years away, Twitter and Tumblr were the arenas for Andrew Scott...

TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube are awash in content from supposed finance gurus who claim to have cracked the code of almost unlimited passive profit. Scrolling through these apps, you could be forgiven for starting to think you’re the only one not raking it in with a vaguely defined “business” (usually involving real estate, asset-flipping, or crypto trading) that more or less runs itself. So what are you waiting for? When will you be a self-made entrepreneur?
The promise is only too enticing, which explains the continued prevalence of this dubious advice.

One of the ghostwriter’s most valuable skills is getting their subjects to talk. So, when I gathered L.A.’s most successful ghostwriters at the Formosa Cafe to gossip, they knew all my tricks. In desperation, I went with the most transparent of all reporting techniques — buying them all fruity cocktails.
A reputation for discretion is not only how they get work, but how they avoid getting sued; they sign nondisclosure agreements for every memoir they write. But even if they revealed nothing scandalous about their famous clients — or at least nothing that couldn’t be discovered with a Google search — I learned a lot about the curious craft of ghostwriting and the types of personalities drawn to help famous people tell their life stories. Also, I learned why I am far too egotistical to do their job.

“1883,” a prequel to Paramount Network’s “Yellowstone,” is coming to the network. Beginning Sunday, June 18, the first two episodes of the series will premiere at 8/7c p.m. After that the series will move to a weekly release schedule.
To be clear, this is not a second season of the Tim McGraw and Faith Hill Western drama. Instead, Paramount will merely be airing episodes from this limited series on its network. “1883” first premiered on Paramount+ in December of 2021. The series ran for 10 episodes before concluding in February of 2022.
The news has caused some confusion among fans. On Sunday, the official “Yellowstone” account posted it was a week away from “1883’s” “premiere.” “I’m confused,” one user commented. ” How is this the premier ? [sic] I watched the entire series last year.”

Lena Dunham is back. Sharp Stick — the writer/director/actor’s follow to HBO series Girls and her first film since Tiny Furniture (2010) – opens in LA at Landmark’s renovated single-screen NuArt Theatre and at the Quad Cinema in NYC. It expands to 40 to 50 screens next weekend, heading to about 100 thereafter – a mix of AMC, Alamo, Laemmle and Harkins circuits and top U.S. arthouses.
Presales have been strong, said Utopia’s marketing and distribution VP Kyle Greenberg. A handful of showings with Dunham Q&As are sold out, natch. The film, which Utopia acquired out of Sundance, releases on PVOD August 16. Deadline review here.
Dunham writes directs, produces and stars with Kristine Froseth, Jon Bernthal, Luka Sabbat, Scott Speedman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Taylour Paige and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Dale Dickey is not jaded, even after nearly three decades in Hollywood. The actress’ earnest humility, infectious curiosity, and unpretentiousness when talking about her craft and decades-long career would feel refreshing from anyone, let alone someone who has been a successful working thespian in film and TV for nearly thirty years. The Indie Spirit winner has dozens of credits to her name, in projects of all genres and sizes, including “Winter’s Bone,” “Breaking Bad,” “True Blood,” and “Palm Springs.” But now she has a new one to add to the resume: leading lady.
Known for portraying memorable, hard-scrabble women, the character actress is finally breaking untraveled ground with her first on-camera lead role in the tender-hearted indie romance “A Love Song,” director Max Walker-Silverman’s debut feature, which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival to stellar reviews. “I’m not complaining, but I’ve never really had the luxury of choosing projects.

Writer-director Max Walker-Silverman returned to a central question while writing and filming “A Love Song:” is the pain of losing someone worth having had them?
“At the same time that I was falling in love to some of those around me, they were in various ways falling out of it, whether that was by death, or divorce, or all the many ways that our lives can be changed,” Walker-Silverman told TheWrap.
“A Love Song” follows Faye, a lone traveler who visits a rural camp ground and awaits a visit from her old flame, Lito, who traverses his own journey through the West.
Fixated with admiration for veteran actor Dale Dickey, Walker-Silverman wrote the film centered around envisioning Dickey as his protagonist. “Picturing her in this role just gave me a huge amount of confidence to allow the silence of the world to play a part in it, because I...

‘A Love Song’ Film Review: Dale Dickey Delivers a Career-Best Performance in Transcendent Love Story
This review originally ran following the film’s world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.
If a weathered heart still searching for tenderness in the twilight of life were a movie, it would be “A Love Song.” This miraculously radiant first feature from writer-director Max Walker-Silverman tells a Western romance amid constellations and birds, delayed letters and brief encounters, and the worthwhile sorrow of loving and yearning to be loved.
Placid in her self-sufficient lifestyle, lonely widow Faye (Dale Dickey) eagerly awaits the arrival of an important guest in the mountainous vastness of the Colorado terrain. On campsite seven, she catches shellfish for dinner and listens to her trusty radio, a battery-fueled portal to her emotional state that always plays a pertinent tune at the appropriate time.
With early shots of sturdy flowers, gorgeous in their bravery as they thrive on arid ground, Walker-Silverman makes a visual analogy to his leading lady’s gentle fortitude.

“You know me?” Dale Dickey and Wes Studi vulnerably ask each other when their long-lost characters finally reunite in “A Love Song” (2022). By now, we sure do. Studi and Dickey are the very definitions of gritty, credible character actors who’ve imprinted themselves on cinephiles’ memories with decades of committed, vanity-less work. But now, director Max Walker-Silverman’s debut film—a charming country romance out July 29 from Bleecker Street—unfurls a new terrain.

A woman awakens in a trailer, parked near the Colorado Rockies. She wades into a body of water, pulling out a small lobster cage, then goes back into her modest mobile home to heat up a pot. Coffee is made. A transistor radio is turned on. On a booskhelf sits two Audubon guides, one for birds and the other for star constellations. In front of her sits an American landscape of almost indescribable beauty. She’s alone, silent, contemplative and comfortable in her pastoral solitude. This is a lady used to waiting for something.

Leaning forward on a couch in his home on the west coast of Florida, two cans of Budweiser in front of him and Duane Allman’s Dobro on a stand nearby, Dickey Betts hesitates. “I don’t know if you want to write this or not,” he says. “But, shit, my career is over, so I don’t give a shit.”
He starts talking about an incident in 1993, when Betts, along with Bob Dylan, the Band, Stephen Stills and others, had been invited to play at a Bill Clinton inauguration event.
