Windowbreaker has been selected to play at Sundance this January!

From indiewire.com:

"A total of 71 short films will screen at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival (January 18 - 28, 2007), representing 19 countries. This year's roster, selected from 4,445 submissions, will include a selection of films that are screened online via the Sundance website for three months (January 18 - April 18, 2007). The lineup (listed in full below) is grouped into six categories, showcasing both U.S. and international dramatic, documentary, and animated work."

We are showing in the US dramatic section.

If anyone knows anybody who will be at Sundance this year, please contact us. We will be rolling with about four or five people, and we're eager to meet other filmmakers.

We will also be participating in Sundance Online from January to April, so we'll make a post when it goes live.

HALF NELSON OPENING

I recently painted the poster for the film HALF NELSON written, produced, and directed by my friends Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. It opens next week in New York at the Lincoln Plaza cinemas and the Angelika. The movie rocks, so go see it. Anna and I went to college together, and Anna recently edited Windowbreaker, my short that's currently going around to festivals.

Here are some pictures from the opening on August 2nd at the Tribeca Cinemas. Ryan Gosling and Anthony Mackie (who are amazing in the film) were both there, as were two of my filmmaking heroes Peter Sollett and Eva Vives (director and producer, respectively, of Five Feet High and Rising and Raising Victor Vargas).
