#15. HERE – Braden King
I sound like a broken record trying to predict when Braden King’s HERE will finally have its world premiere. I wasn’t totally off when I mentioned the Sundance/Cannes supported filmmaker would make it at last year’s edition, but King came packing “Postcards from HERE” – a chronicle of the production. This year we expectt: a final film to be shown in Sundance and Berlin.
Co-written by King and Dani Valent, Will Shepard (Foster) is an American satellite-mapping engineer contracted to create a new, more accurate survey of the country of Armenia. Within the industry, his solitary work – land-surveying satellite images to check for accuracy and resolve anomalies – is called “ground-truthing”. He’s been doing it on his own, for years, all over the world, but on this trip, his measurements are not adding up. Will meets Gadarine Najarian (Lubna Azabal) at a rural hotel.
* Producers: Parts and Labor’s Lars Knudsen and Jay Van Hoy
