Founded in 1998 by Nancy Buirski, and now recognized as the premier documentary film festival in the United States by both The New York Times and indieWIRE, the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival celebrates the power and artistry of documentary film.
I have been percolating the idea for this movie for a long time. At the time I worked on a TV show, purely for the money, and kept thinking about what would be the best way to attack this movie. I wanted to get into its depth instead of just doing a bio pic. When I came up with the idea of using the detective as the “go through” guy to tell the story about George Reeves, I knew I had the breakthrough idea to begin writing
2006 was a relatively tame year when it came to sexy men in indie and foreign features. While some of the gentlemen below deserve Adonis honors (namely number's ten, two, and one), this year's most memorable men are not receiving praise for their abdominal muscles, but instead (gasp) for their talent? Hollywood seems to have the monopoly on the drool worthy D's - Depp, Damon, DiCaprio, but it's the mix of indie faces, some fresh, some familiar, that win our minds then our hearts. From drag queens to dictators, 2006 was full of characters and this list has them all, both on and off the screen.
The at least a good half of the films represented by first time feature debuts, this year’s U.S Dramatic comp is headed by veteran filmmaker (and yet relatively new) David Gordon Green and his Stewart O'Nan novel adaptation of Snow Angels. Perhaps the most loudest (in term of controversy) film will be the rough Deborah Kampmeier portrait Hounddog - starring a Dakota Fanning in what shall become a transition role for her from Hollywood to Indie, but from child actor to adult-material. And an indie festival wouldn’t be a festival without the presence of the Posey name. Zoe Cassavetes will introduce our friend Parker in Broken English - a 30’s generation relationship film with plenty of name folks – including mom, Gena Rowlands.
