Tommy Wiseau Devours Cult Cinema in First Feature Since ‘The Room’
By Samantha Bergeson, IndieWire
Tommy Wiseau can’t jump the shark: He is the shark.
The “Room” writer-director-star (auteur?) is officially back with his first feature film in 20 years. “Big Shark,” following the craze of the B-movie “Sharknado” franchise and spinoffs, follows three firefighters as they work to save New Orleans from one massive shark.
The tagline reads: “Can New Orleans survive?”
The trailer has been playing for audiences at theatrical screenings of “The Room” for the last few months, but the official trailer is now online. “Big Shark” will begin a nationwide rollout April 2 with a debut screening at Cinema 21 in Portland, Oregon, followed by New Orleans (April 28 and 29), San Francisco (May 5 and 6), Los Angeles (June 2 and 3), and at the Village East by Angelika in New York City (August 10, 11, and 12).

What is Adobe Sensei and What Does It Do?
By Russ Fairley, Videomaker
Sensei is an interesting word. Borrowed from Japanese, in modern vernacular, it typically refers to an instructor and, more specifically, a martial arts instructor. Historically, it’s referred to teachers and facilitators across several disciplines or people of a certain stature in a relationship. Sensei, as Adobe uses it, is both the teacher and the student, learning from data and performing tasks.
In this article, we’ll discuss what Adobe Sensei is, what it’s used for and how it works to help empower video editors.
