Fresh film faces.
Posted by Alison Willmore on
Filmmaker Magazine has just released its annual round-up of indie film up-and-comers, “25 New Faces in Independent Film.” Quite a few of them are familiar — congrats in particular to Barry Jenkins, whose great “Medicine for Melancholy” premiered at SXSW this year; Tom Quinn, whose “The New Year Parade” won the best narrative prize at Slamdance; and David and Nathan Zellner, designated “filmmakers who should have been on the list in the five previous years but inexplicably weren’t,” whose “Goliath” debuted at Sundance and is now available on VOD via our sister company IFC Films.
According to the accompanying press release, five directors off the list have been selected to create 3-5 minute shorts shot on a Nokia to be looked over by Spike Lee: “Their films will revolve around the overarching topic of “humanity” and, along with submissions from the general public, will be considered by Spike Lee for inclusion as part of the third act on his film for Nokia Productions.” Ryan Bilsborrow-Koo and Zachary Lieberman, E.E. Cassidy, Daniel Robin, Christina Voros and Matt Wolf are the chosen few.
