Yes, as Dan Schoenbrun notes below, there was a lot of paella at the Copacabana club last night for Independent Film Week’s closing party.
Here are a few of the photo’s I snapped during the week.

Jamie Stuart and I made a video with them that’s playing right now in New York taxi cabs, and both have new feature projects. Here they are outside the Film Center before my Sunday panel.

Here are a few interesting and/or noteworthy projects that were recently added to IMDbPro's database of development titles.
The $700 Billion Man— George Clooney and his Smoke House partner Grant Heslov have optioned a Washington Post article about what happened to the government stooge in charge of creating and implementing the 2008 financial bailout. No word if Clooney plans to star, but he is considering it as a possible directing gig.
Fortunate Sons— Emily Watson stars in this London-set thriller about a British teenager who is ordered to kill his twin sister after she dishonors their family. Danielle Lurie adapts the feature from her 2005 Sundance short film In the Morning.
Real Steel 2—DreamWorks is pretty confident that its robot vs. robot flick starring Hugh Jackman will be a knockout this year. The studio has already hired its scribe John Gatins to get to work on a sequel.
How I Live Now— The Last King of Scotland director Kevin Macdonald is set to helm this British drama based on Meg Rosoff’s young adult novel about a teenage girl who is sent to live with her cousins in the English countryside. Cowboy Films is producing.
