Screenmancer CEO Quendrith Johnson today unveiled a full slate of movie-related news and interviews, "creating a cultural destination on the web that exists to add depth to the current white sugar of information, as known as 'celebrity gossip' out there."

New items include WGA Past President Del Reisman, who gives a rare glimpse into the founding of one of the entertainment industry's most important unions. Neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin, a musician/professor and best-selling author, offers a snapshot of his book "This is Your Brain on Music: The Science of human Obsession," citing the groundbreaking score of "Bonnie & Clyde" in setting a sound/mood juxtaposition trend that is now a movie standard. ScriptSavvy.com founder Donna White discusses her "Adventures in Screenwriting," from the perspective of a filmmaker and screenwriter.

Headlining on the site with WGA's Del Reisman is Dr. Daniel J. Levitin, a professor of Music and Psychology at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Levitin selected a film score related excerpt for Screenmancer from "This is Your Brain on Music," which has been featured in Rolling Stone, New York Times, London Sunday Telegraph, among other publications. Screenmancer's "Music in Hollywood Movies: What's the Score?" introduces Levitin's work. Filmmaker Donna White contributes to Screenmancer's Exclusive series, revealing how she turned her grueling path toward funding and screening her first film into a service designed to "hook up" others in the industry with the resources to navigate their way from idea to box office.

Screenmancer, a precursor of sites like MySpace and YouTube, was founded in 1997 by two UCLA film students and now offers a New York Times daily news arts feed, amazon.com selected titles and Google targeted video ads, such as streaming footage of Uma Thurman's short for Pirelli.
