List Worthy Reasons…: A project we’ve been keeping track of the moment it was mentioned as part of the Sundance labs, two hip and gifted New York based filmmakers putting their powers together in what should be a dialogue rich, fragile and vulnerable friendly kind of love story. Ry Russo-Young’s You Wont Miss Me is best describe as an honest portrait with a melange of styles and we look forward in seeing how the selected actors (Olivia Thirlby, Dylan McDermott, John Krasinski) deal with the material. Here’s an idea of the what the most used DVD library items you’d find on Russo-Young’s shelf.  

Release Date/Status?: World Film Festival premiere to take place at Sundance, distribution pick-up and release for 2012 is a certified guarantee.

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival

Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
