One of the announced recipients is Tony Kushner, the writer of 'Angels in America', who will recieve the New York Apple award. A full list of nominees is here.

'Girl Walks Into A Bar' completed for web release

The next feature to star Zachary Quinto will be the web-only film 'Girl Walks Into A Bar' directed by Sebastian Gutierrez and co-starring Carla Gugino and Josh Hartnett.

"We want to prove that Web distribution is a viable medium for theatrical quality movies which rely on story, characters and dialogue as opposed to special effects," said Sebastian Gutierrez. "For many reasons the theatrical indie landscape has changed drastically in the last few years, leaving many potential breakout hits without an audience. We are excited to break the rules of feature films by letting people watch our movie for free online."

Zachary plays a dentist who hires a contract killer (Gugino) to murder his wife. In doing so he unwittingly sets off a chain of events which ripples through the mobsters, strippers and lowlifes of the LA bar scene.

The film will be available in October 2010 through Hulu and Youtube. It is not yet clear whether overseas viewers will be able to view it.

Lance Mazmanian posted news on his official website today which gave more information on his upcoming feature film project with Before the Door.

"I'm collaborating with the gents on a very unique feature film that has the potential to seriously shake things up around the world, in a good way.

Indeed, with the manner in which the story is built, there is literally something for everyone. And, it contains a central emotional/narrative element that has never been seen on film, that I know of.

Zachary Quinto, the potential lead, will be in every shot (minus 'establishing' stuff)"
