Film
Sundance watch
13 December 2009
Recently, the Sundance Film Festival announced their lineup of competition films for the 2010 version of the annual Utah event. I have decided to follow 3 of them closely. My decision was based on a few, loose criteria: Scripted (fictional) films where the actors and directors are non-famous and the budget is pretty small, and they were filmed or based largely in southern California. Only three films met those criteria:
Douchebag, directed by Drake Doremus, with a cast that includes one actress I’ve recently met, Amy Ferguson. (This isn’t even her first appearance on a Sundance screen. Sheesh.)
Lovers of Hate, by Bryan Poyser.
Obselidia, by Diane Bell.
I’ve established Google alerts for these people, I’m asking around and doing online research, and I’m rooting for them. Go Team 3!
