American New Wave 25: Jaffe Zinn
Of all the filmmakers profiled in our American New Wave 25, my guess is that Jaffe Zinn could be the next in line to launch the “film” portion of his career. Like several other folks featured on our list, you could describe Jaffe as a hybrid artist: he is one half of the group Folded Light, an illustrator and the portion that we’ll concentrate on is his status as director/writer of Magic Valley – a film that could easily end up in Park City might actually be slotted for the Venice Film Festival sidebar premiere.

Zinn, the Idaho native and NYU Tisch School grad (the provenance of his short Bliss) was fortunate to have Frozen River’s producer Heather Rae shepherd his low budget debut. With a pretty good ensemble cast, my feeling is that Buhl won’t be an obscure town once this makes the rounds.
