2012 Sundance Predictions: Jenny Deller’s Future Weather

Knowing how Redford feels about the environment and films that promote responsibility of mother earth, Sundance programmers have probably been tracking this title for some time now. Multiple grant winner of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Jenny Deller’s three generational tale/environmental drama has got some strong indie pedigree such as Lili Taylor among the cast and on the tech side, they’ve got dp Zak Mulligan who did some great work on Obselidia – a Park City entry back in 2010. Nominated for a new Gotham award this year, we think Future Weather is possibly a good fit for the U.S Dramatic Comp.
