T-Boz shares her battle with brain tumor
90's girl-group TLC saw success throughout the 90's and early-00's, until problems with their management, inter-group disagreements, and the untimely death of Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopez, broke the group apart.

Your friends at the Screen Actors Guild ("SAG") have created an "indie" version at SAGIndie (http://www.sagindie.org). An interesting concept, but it's up to you, the filmmaker, to decide if it's helpful.
There are a number of administrative forms to keep your set and crew on-track --your investors will love that. No more little pieces of paper, random receipts, and indiscriminate scheduling.

“Perfect Stranger” makes HufPo’s Top 9 List
"Perfect Stranger," starring Halle Berry, made The Huffington Post's Top 9 list... but not like you think.
