by Michael D. SellersA number of you have been asking how the WGA strike is affecting us at Moviebank and Quantum Entertainment.

by Michael D. Sellers As we track/discuss/analyze the trends from the studios that might have impact on MovieBank and/or Quantum Entertainment and other indie film entities, I think it’s important to keep an eye on Cloverfield, a film coming out in January which is produced by JJ Abrams (the TV series Lost) and which is […]
