2012 Sundance Predictions: Joshua Zeman’s The Best Man for the Job

Date:

#08. The Best Man for the Job – Joshua Zeman

Indie producer stalwart (The Station Agent, Mysterious Skin) Joshua Zeman made his directing debut in 2009 with the docu Cropsey (here’s our interview with Zeman) and it now appears that he has the directing bug. Earlier in the year he financed and filmed The Best Man for the Job starring Two Gates of Sleep‘s David Call. I’m not in the habit of predicting Short Film selections for the festival, but this would be a no-brainer inclusion. Here’s the short’s Kickstarter page which includes a video intro from the filmmaker.

Gist: When a hostage negotiation turns personal, a cop with a secret is forced to make a choice between his partner and the woman he loves.
