First time filmmaker Cary McClelland found a fresh approach filmmaking when he followed six brave Pakistani people who put their lives on the line to share their stories.
Enjoy our conversation with Cary as he talks about his film Without Shepherds and what creating this documentary meant to him.
Speaking with Chris Nelson, director of Ass Backwards was an amazing treat. Describing his film as an “uproarious female-driven buddy comedy about two lovable losers who are best friends living in NYC,”captures not only the essence of the film, but the personality of Chris in general.
We hope you enjoy our conversation with Chris as much as we did!
Directing Kristen Bell, Mamie Gummer and Martin Starr in The Lifeguard sounds like no easy task - how does one control themselves around so much talent?!?! But on screen and in our conversation, first time director Liz Garcia impressed us with her ability to live in the moment while remaining focused on her goals. After listening to the podcast, we hope you feel the same way we do about Liz - admiration, excitement and a bit of a crush! She really is THAT amazing.
Two members of the FilmBuff team got stuck in the SLC airport after it froze over and closed - the first time this has happened in 24 years. Missing the last flight from Dallas to NYC, they made the best of it by drinking giant margaritas. There really are worse things to happen, no?
Our final day at Sundance and we started our morning interviewing Chris Nelson, the director of "Ass Backwards." Written by "Happy Endings" star Casey Wilson, "Ass Backwards" chronicles two delusional women returning to their hometown in order to redeem their past beauty pageant failures. Stay tuned to listen to our interview with Chris.
Today Sundance honored it's festival volunteers - who are really wonderful. They're patient and genuinely happy to be helping us all. It's amazing! Our friends Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg directed the short film that shows appreciation for these unsung heroes. Don't you feel a bit warm and fuzzy after watching it?
Today we interviewed 2013 Slamdance filmmaker Cary Mcclelland. His film "Without Shepherds" follows the lives of six people in Pakistan as they live very different lives. Check back soon to hear our interview with Cary.
May-December: The Theme of Sundance?
Our editor will be interviewing director Liz Garcia later this week. Her film "The Lifeguard" explores the downward spiral of Leigh, a woman approaching 30. On her way to bottom, Leigh starts sleeping with a 16 year old man. But Liz's film isn't the only film to look at May/December relationships this festival. So far based on just what WE'VE seen, there is: "Kill Your Darlings" (David Kammerer and Lucien Carr), Breathe In (Guy Pearce's character with Felicity Jones') and "Two Mothers" (Naomi Watts and Robin Wright with younger men).
Drake Doremus's last film "Like Crazy" stole the hearts of the very cold and tired Sundance goers. This year his film "Breathe In" premiered with a wonderful cast. Guy Pearce was absolutely mesmerizing. With so much drama in the film, we're excited to see them let loose at their EW photo shoot.
Our editor attended the premiere of "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" today. Sitting the balcony of the very full house (not one waitlisted person got in), she found director David Lowery's vision of filmmaking to be very exciting. We're now counting down the days until his next film.
Swoon Companion Piece?
Perhaps "Swoon" is just fresh on our minds since it's recent digital release this past September, but after seeing the John Krokidas's film "Kill Your Darlings," it felt like these two movies were related somehow. Maybe it's the theme of murder and LGBT cinema or maybe it's all about the mood feels the same. Somehow we can't stop tying these two movies together.
Who knew?
At an early morning screening of "Austenland," our editor was quite surprised to see Stephenie Meyer, of Twilight fame, step on stage at Sundance. The mainstream juggernaut of the "Twilight" series felt like the furthest movies from anything at a Sundance lineup. However, "Austenland" was completely intimate and independent so it was awesome seeing Stephenie Meyer switch gears like that. And clearly for her and filmmaker, Jerusha Hess (writer of "Napoleon Dynamite") this was a passion project. It just goes to show that Sundance is ALWAYS full of surprises.
Seeing Dave Grohl's documentary "Sound City" is like taking a trip down memory lane and reliving all the magical music moments in your life. The behind-the-scenes Nirvana was enough to make us want to watch the film again.
Our editor visited Sundance Headquarters to pick up her badge and every other material. She's lining up her screenings and ready to see some great movies and meet with some wonderful filmmakers. First screening? Sound City - the documentary by Dave Grohl.
After a long day of flights and traveling, we've arrived at Park City, Utah and we're ready for the Sundance Film Festival. We're happy to catch up with old friends, connect with new ones and see some amazing work here. Perhaps we should get some rest.
