#40. The Motel Life – Alan and Gabe Polsky
Producers Alan and Gabe Polsky switched hats in 2011 and directed their first feature film – an adaptation of a chilly novel with a cast that includes Dakota Fanning, Stephen Dorff, Emile Hirsch, Kris Kristofferson and Park City regular Joshua Leonard. Having filmed earlier in the year (see outdoor winter set pic) The Motel Life should be ready to grab one of the Premiere screening slots. The Polsky’s were at the fest last year with Elgin James’ Little Birds.
Gist: Based on the novel, this is about a pair of working-class brothers who flee their Reno Motel after getting involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident.
Producers: Polsky Bros. (Little Birds) and Ann Ruark (The Beaver)
