Underground Music Showcase preps for its swan song
The sun will soon set on the Underground Music Showcase. The big picture: The indie music festival announced earlier this year its 25th edition would be its last — and organizers are planning an epic swan song starting this Friday. What they're saying:"We can't predict the future — but we can promise this: The final UMS in its current form will be legendary," its website reads. Why it matters: The musical spectacle on South Broadway will be sorely missed in a city with few major music festivals, and one that made it its mission to elevate independent and new, rollicking voices. State of play: More than 200 artists will perform across four stages and 12 venues over the weekend. Three local acts to check out: DeVotchKa: Founded in Denver, these UMS headliners playing Sunday on the Showcase Stage are perhaps best known for providing the uplifting sound behind the popular indie film "Little Miss Sunshine." Nina de Freitas: The Brazilian-born singer will perform Friday and Sunday, serenading the crowds with her soulful, longing ballads. Keenan TreVon: Hailing from Aurora, TreVon makes his UMS debut this year, bringing his upbeat, poppy, occasionally bedroom-rock to the Hi Dive on Friday. If you go: Weekend passes are still available starting at $150, including ticket and fees, while single-day tickets start at $88, including fees. The festival runs along South Broadway between Sixth and Alameda. Hours will vary from Friday (4pm–2am), Saturday (2pm–2am) and Sunday (2pm–11pm).

Paul Dano to Write and Direct Comedy For Universal Pictures and The Daniels — GeekTyrant
Almost a decade ago, actor Paul Dano ( Little Miss Sunshine , There Will Be Blood , Love & Mercy ) and filmmakers Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert blew away Sundance Film Festival attendees with Swiss Army Man , but now the trio now looks ready to reunite on Dano's next director outing. Deadline reports that Dano is set to write and is in talks to direct a new untitled comedy for Universal Pictures, with Kwan, Scheinert and their partner Jonathan Wang producing through their Playgrounds banner. Dano is also in talks to produce. Plot details are being kept under wraps other then it being a high-concept, original comedy. The Daniels have a first-look deal at the studio and, while they are still deep in development on a follow-up to their Oscar Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once, this film would mark one of the first major projects they are solely producing under the deal. Dano just completed shooting the Olivier Assayas film The Wizard of the Kremlin in which he plays the title character amongst a cast that includes Jude Law, Alicia Vikander and Jeffrey Wright.

Watch: Why this rom-com fell apart: Case study: ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar'
You're vibing to a fun rom-com — then suddenly it turns into a tearful breakup. Wait, what just happened? Welcome to Frequently Made Mistakes, hosted by Sudhish Kamath — where we do script post-mortems to understand what went wrong… and how to fix it. Today's mistake? Tonally confused storytelling — when a film can't decide if it's a comedy or a drama and ends up being neither. Case Study: Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (Ranbir Kapoor & Shraddha Kapoor) We dig into how the film nails both comedy and drama separately — but fumbles when it tries to blend them. What you'll learn: • Why tone is a promise you make to the audience • How great films like The Big Sick, Queen, and Little Miss Sunshine get it right • Simple writing tricks to balance comedy and drama smoothly • A screenwriting exercise to help you master tonal control If your screenplay swings from jokes to tears without warning — this episode is for you. Watch, learn, and never confuse your audience again. Music: Ivan Avakian
