Paper Heart (Winner Waldo Salt screenwriting award). Cinematographer Jay Hunter & editor Ryan Brown. Podcast: Live from Sundance 2009 at The Windrider Forum: Segment 1 of 1
Craig Detweiler hosts a discussion at Sundance/Windrider with Cinematographer Jay Hunter & editor Ryan Brown The Sundance description is as follows: Charlyne Yi does not believe in love. Or so she says. At the very least, she doesn’t believe in fairy-tale love or the Hollywood mythology, and her own experiences have made her—at minimum—a modern-day skeptic. But this inquiry into love and its present-day manifestations suggests she hasn’t entirely given up hope. As she and her friend (and director), Nicholas Jasenovec, together search for answers and advice, you get the idea that this new generation’s cynicism isn’t the whole story.
Sin Nombre (Winner Directing & Cinematography U.S. drama). Writer & director Cary Joji Fukunaga and Producer Amy Kaufman. Podcast: Live from Sundance 2009 at The Windrider Forum: Segment 1 of 1
Craig Detweiler hosts a discussion at Sundance/Windrider with writer & director Cary Joji Fukunaga and Producer Amy Kaufman about their film Sin Nombre. The Sundance description is as follows: It’s almost impossible to believe that Sin Nombre is Cary Joji Fukunaga’s feature debut; its storytelling is so accomplished, its visual style so crisp, and its heightened naturalism and performances so textured. A social-political thriller in the tradition of American film noir, Sin Nombre is set on the border, where Mexico becomes the crucible and the fearsome gangs of today’s Mexican countryside, the gauntlet, to freedom. The stories of Sayra, a teenager living in Honduras and hungering for a brighter future, and teen gang members Smiley and Casper, for whom the Mara Salvatrucha is nearly their entire universe, become interlaced on the train to the border, a journey that will determine the future of their lives.

But the boy and the girl in Adam are no ordinary characters, and their romance is anything but familiar. Soon after moving in, Beth, a brainy, beautiful writer, encounters Adam, the handsome, but odd, fellow in the downstairs apartment.
