Milwaukee has been mentioned as a location for "Courtroom K," a dark comedy starring Alfred Molina set in a fictional Milwaukee Superior Court. Spoiler alert: Most of the filming would take place in Los Angeles. One of the writers and producers of the pilot is Paul Attanasio, brother of Milwaukee Brewers' owner Mark Attanasio.Film Festivals

The Milwaukee International Film Festival has been going through some tough times lately. A Milwaukee Magazine article by Bruce Murphy indicated that financial mismanagement could place the future of the festival in jeopardy. Days later Matt Astbury fired back in an Express Milwaukee article pointing out Murphy's inaccuracies. Astbury states, "...there will absolutely be a 2008 Milwaukee International Film Festival...You do a great disservice to the tens of thousands of Festival attendees when you suggest that the Festival will not take place."
The Big Water Film Festival is open for entries. This is the Bay Area Film Society's first annual event at the Stagenorth Theater in Washburn, Wisconsin.
