IMPOSSIBLE LIGHT, Jeremy Ambers’s documentary about the art light installation on the Bay Bridge screens at the San Francisco International Film Festival Wednesday, the Roxie Cinema on Thursday and a theatrical run at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland.
Theatrical opportunities have opened up for the independent filmmaker with the advent of the DCP (Digital Cinema Package) file drive delivery method and the conversion of cinemas to the digital cinema initiative.
SF Film Festival Premiere: The Informant
We just finished color and mastering for Informant by Jamie Meltzer, premiering Sunday night April 22 at 9PM at the Sundance Kabuki Cinema.
The film makes an interesting complement to last year’s festival winner for Best Documentary Better This World about the two Austin men Brandon Darby informed on to the FBI.
The path of Brandon Darby from the community activist hero of post-Katrina New Orleans to a Tea Party confederate by way of turning in his affinity group members at the 2008 Republican National Convention makes quite a bowl of “Rashomon”.
The filmmaker has bent himself into a pretzel to remain fair to his subject and entrusting his audience to use their own heads as Darby tells his own story in direct address.
