With three post-Sundance buy announcements within a space of 24 hours (and there are many more to come), it’s evident that it is the buyers who seem to have the edge this year. There are more film distribution players now and it seems that every friday (release day) we find a trafficked filled jam of film offerings. It’s simple: indie distributors are becoming a whole lot more methodicial with their buys: factoring in the P&A commitment and then weathering the storm of competitition. Today Magnolia Pictures have added a docu film that gels well with the company’s usual docu fair.
Written by Bell, Alexander Buono and Tamsin Rawady, Bigger, Faster, Stronger is about
three brothers, one of whom is the filmmaker, who use steroids. The docu asks
viewers to look within when considering the rampant steroid scandals that have
been dominating the headlines. Is it any wonder that so many of our sports
heroes are on performance-enhancing drugs in America’s win-at-all-costs culture?
