Landler, Bella Dayne and Hal Ozsan. The film is almost entirely French language although Caldwell does not speak French. "Layover" World Premiered at the 2014 Seattle International Film Festival on May 30, 2014 to a sell out crowd. The film was one of twelve features nominated for the festival's New American Cinema award. On June 4, 2014, the film had its California premiere at the Dances With Films festival in L.A. The film has received a warm reception and much of its notice is due to the small budget used to produce it. Websites like NoFilmSchool and Slashfilm have featured the film as an example of excellent filmmaking on a minuscule budget. ''Layover'' is the first film in a planned three-part series called the LAX trilogy. Centered around characters who pass through Los Angeles International Airport, the films themselves are all very different, in terms of tone and genre. The second film, ''Assassin'' and the third film, ''Ten'', are scheduled to be shot in winter 2016. Caldwell directed the entire first season of the new Hulu show "South Beach." Starring Jacqueline M Wood, Manny Montana, Jordi Vilasuso and Ana Vilafane the six-episode series, set in the affluent Miami neighborhood, follows the aftermath of a murder that appears to signal the return of a serial killer thought to have been killed two decades earlier. As the investigation proceeds, a complex web of crime, greed and betrayal ties together rival drug lords, bitter conflicts within the music industry, local politics and law enforcement. 〔http://deadline.com/2015/07/south-beach-hulu-urban-drama-gets-release-date-and-trailer-1201476561/〕 Caldwell is an active (Twitter user ) and owns and maintains a blog, Hollywood Bound and Down () and (podcast ) of the same name. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joshua Caldwell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
