Sorry it's been a little slow the past few days, I've been to Sundance running from warm party to warm party and meeting about a thousand Tisch grads. Encourage you to check out the following films:
DEATH TO THE TINMAN written and directed by Ray Tintori
***Short. How the tinman lost his heart. Shot in black and white, great story, funky and fun take on the Oz mythology, a joy to watch both for its cinematography and its performances. You'll actually laugh and cry - really!
WONDERS ARE MANY directed by Jon Else
***Feature doc. Behind the scenes of the Peter Sellars directed, John Adams composed opera "Dr. Atomic" - an in depth look at Oppenheimer but also, for those of us in the arts, a chance to see Sellars in rehearsal and to better understand how a composer and a director collaborate.
SAVE ME directed by Robert Cary written by Craig Chester, Alan Hines, Robert Desiderio
***Feature drama. A drug addicted cutie (Chad Allen) gets shipped off to Genesis House, a Christian home for gay men who want to "cure their sexual broken-ness", where, of course, he falls in love with the equally hunky Robert Gant. What could have been a stereotypical nightmare of a film is actually quite moving and Judith Light reinvents herself. Worth seeing.
