#18. For Ellen
Director/Writer: So Yong Kim
Producers: So Yong Kim, Bradley Rust Gray and Jen Gatien
Distributor: Rights Available.
The Gist: When an aspiring young rock musician (Paul Dano) agrees to sign divorce papers with his estranged wife, he discovers he is not ready to forfeit all custody of his six-year-old daughter.….(more)
Cast: Paul Dano, Jon Heder, Jena Malone, Margarita Levieva and Dakota Johnson.
Why is it on the list?: We like her minimalist and miniscule triage dramas In Between Days and Treeless Mountain and look forward in seeing her work with name talent in Paul Dano and Jena Malone. Last year we had this at the number 53 spot.
Release Date/Status?: Cannes looks probable. TIFF is a shoe-in for a North American premiere.
