Posted in Acting Projects, Press, Video (Online & Home)Sundance Report – Le Fin
What a difference a week makes. Brit Marling and Mike Cahill have rocketed off in the indie film world, and Another Earth has been shown nothing but love up at Sundance.
We premiered on Monday in a 1200-seat theatre to a standing ovation (very rare at Sundance, I’m told), and to the right is my (blurry) view from stage during the post-Q&A.
Then within the next few days, Fox Searchlight bought the film and will release it theatrically both in the U.S. and internationally. To the right is the poster that was used at the fest…
Finally, last night at the awards ceremony, Another Earth was given both the Sloan Prize for Science and a Special Jury Prize for Drama.
And all from such humble beginnings…
Many great reviews are all over the web, so I’ll just include one, from the NYT, here.
Finally, one of my final memories: snow and a (relatively) early hour produce the unusual sight of somewhat empty streets at this year’s festival..
Sundance Report – First 28 Hrs
Bottom line: Busy, tiring, fun. Stop. Stayed out too late last night. Curse my Slated partners this morning. Stop. Sidewalks very busy, esp. with snow and some heavy snowage today. Serious about not parking (see sign at right). Stop.
Interviews and photo shoots apparently not disasters. We’ll see. Stop. Another Earth generating lots of interest for its intriguing premise. Stop. Pianist playing on sidewalk for passersby and bear (bear right). Stop. Accidental, first-time meeting with fellow actor from Louisville Jess Weixler (Teeth). Stop. Such is the fun of Sundance.
Sometimes, no news is just, well, no news
In response to literally thousands, perhaps millions, of letters and emails that have nearly shut down southern California servers and post offices, I’m here to save the day with updates on a couple projects.
‘A Warrior’s Heart‘ when last I checked was nearing the final stages of post-production. How and when you’ll be able to see it is still uncertain. It may receive theatrical distribution, or it may go right to video/cable. As soon as I hear something, I’ll send word immediately.
‘Another Earth‘ is definitely still in post-production. (These things take time, people!) It will almost surely first go to film festivals, in order to attain the momentum necessary to fill theatres both near you and across the globe, thereby vaunting it into a box office bonanza far, far beyond anything that weakling ‘Avatar’ ever dreamed of. Or something like that.
Back from the Non-Dead, only to…
My, my, my. Five months just doesn’t take as long to slip by as it used to, does it? Well, no use blaming Mother Earth and Father Time for this one. Mea culpa, big time. My apologies for the absence — but those aliens just wouldn’t bring me back, no matter what I said. Okay, enough tomfoolery. Lost, er, Lots to catch up on.
So, after finishing the Shakespeare Lab in NYC, I narrated The New Sudan, a documentary on Southern Sudan’s work at rebuilding after the twenty-year civil war. It will soon begin the circuit of film festivals. The trailer is here.
Then I shot an indie film, Another Earth, in the gorgeous Catskills of New York state. It’s a romantic drama/sci-fi. That will also soon be making the festival rounds.
November found me in Vancouver, another beautiful location. (It’s a tough job, I know..). This time I was shooting an episode (called ‘Sanctuary’) of Fox’s new show Human Target, which airs THIS Wed, Feb 3, at 8pm. (Gold stars to those who guessed that might have something to do with my finally returning to my blog..) If you miss the airing, you can see it on Hulu by clicking here.
Then, in December, I was back in NYC to shoot an episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent. (which should air in March/April). NYC in December with the holidays lights and the smiling shoppers…Autumn been berry berry good to me.
That’s enough for the first post in five months. I didn’t stretch properly, and I don’t want an injury after so long away. More to come soon!
