Sundance Institute to Present a Week of Creative Film Producing Initiatives, July 29 – August 4, 2013 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: July 17, 2013 Casey De La Rosa 310.360.1981 [email protected] Sundance Institute to Present a Week of Creative Film Producing Initiatives, July 29 – August 4, 2013 11 Projects Selected for Creative Producing Labs, Ongoing Support and Granting; 40 Industry Leaders Converge for Creative Producing Summit Los Angeles, CA — Sundance Institute today announced the participants for its annual Creative Producing Labs and Creative Producing Summit, both held the week of July 29 at the Sundance Resort in Sundance, Utah. These activities are part of the Institute’s year-round Creative Producing Initiative, which encompasses a series of Labs, Fellowships and other events that support independent producers. Eleven projects will participate in the Labs (July 29 – August 2), where they will work with an accomplished group of Creative Advisors to advance their creative, communication and problem-solving skills in all stages of a film’s journey from script development to distribution. These Producing Fellows will also receive ongoing creative and strategic support throughout the year, as well as direct granting for further development and production. This year’s Fellows represent eleven projects identified by the Institute’s Feature Film Program and Documentary Film Program and Fund. Immediately following the Labs, the Summit (August 2-4) takes place. The Summit is an invitation-only gathering that connects 42 producers and directors, including the Producing Fellows, with more than 40 top independent film industry leaders for three days of case study sessions, panels, roundtable discussions, one-on-one meetings and pitching sessions. Multimedia artist Doug Aitken, whose installation Sleepwalkers was featured in New Frontier at the Sundance Film Festival, will deliver a keynote opening address on storytelling and the creative process. Keri Putnam, Executive Director of Sundance Institute, said, “Independent producers play a crucial role in finding, championing and shaping original cinematic voices. We look forward to gathering with mentors and colleagues to support these talented Producing Fellows at our Lab and Summit.

  • E-TEAM Press Notes FINAL
    E-TEAM a film by Katy Chevigny & Ross Kauffman Press Notes PUBLICITY NORTH AMERICAN SALES Contact: Donna Daniels INTERNATIONAL SALES Andrew Herwitz Donna Daniels Public Annie Roney Film Sales Company Relations ro*co films [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Office: 212 481 5020 Office: 347-254-7054 Office: 415.332.6471 x200 eteamfilm.com /eteamfilm @eteamfilm LOGLINE E-TEAM is driven by the high-stakes investigative work of four intrepid human rights workers, offering a rare look at their lives at home and dramatic work in the field. THE CHARACTERS Anna Neistat and Ole Solvang Anna is a Russian émigré whose childhood experiences growing up in Moscow have endowed her with a righteous indignation about the practices of unaccountable dictatorships. She is as fashionable as she is formidable, a closet chain smoker, and she can talk her way into any situation – questioning victims and perpetrators alike -- in any of the four languages she speaks fluently. While detained in Georgia during the Russia-Georgia War of 2008, she fell in love with and eventually married a fellow investigator, the Norwegian, Ole Solvang. Ole balances Anna’s fiery personality with a measured and calm manner, which he maintains even when he and his wife are in personal danger. 2 Peter Bouckaert Peter, a savvy strategist and fearless investigator, has been called “the James Bond of human-rights investigators” by Rolling Stone magazine. Known as the “bang bang guy”, Peter uses his knowledge of weaponry to solve war crimes. He is prickly with the press and his own colleagues on the E-Team but his passion and outspokenness have earned him a solid and gritty reputation among journalists and investigators alike.

  • The Queen of Versailles
    Mongrel Media Presents THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES A Film by Lauren Greenfield (100 min., US, 2012) Language: English WINNER U.S. Directing Award: Documentary 2012 Sundance Film Festival Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith 1028 Queen Street West Star PR Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1H6 Tel: 416-488-4436 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 Fax: 416-488-8438 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com High res stills may be downloaded from http://www.mongrelmedia.com/press.html SYNOPSIS THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES is a character-driven documentary about a billionaire family and their financial challenges in the wake of the economic crisis. With epic proportions of Shakespearean tragedy, the film follows two unique characters, whose rags-to-riches success stories reveal the innate virtues and flaws of the American Dream. The film begins with the family triumphantly constructing the biggest house in America, a 90,000 sq. ft. palace. Over the next two years, their sprawling empire, fueled by the real estate bubble and cheap money, falters due to the economic crisis. Major changes in lifestyle and character ensue within the cross-cultural household of family members and domestic staff. 2 DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT – LAUREN GREENFIELD The Queen of Versailles is a story about a self-made billionaire family: their larger-than- life plan to build the biggest house in America, and subsequent struggle in the wake of the economic crisis. The film visually documents the American Dream: its values and lifestyles, its relationship to home ownership, and the ways it has encouraged all Americans to reach beyond their economic means.

  • The Kingmaker
    The Kingmaker Directed by Lauren Greenfield Total Run Time: 100 minutes Photos are available at: https://www.cbspressexpress.com/showtime/shows Lauren Kleiman Jackie Ioachim 310-234-5138 212-708-1220 [email protected] [email protected] THE KINGMAKER Production Notes Synopsis Centered on the indomitable character of Imelda Marcos, The Kingmaker examines, with intimate access, the Marcos family’s improbable return to power in the Philippines. The film explores the disturbing legacy of the Marcos regime and chronicles Imelda’s present-day push to help her son, Bongbong, win the vice presidency. To this end, Imelda confidently rewrites her family’s history of corruption, replacing it with a narrative of a matriarch’s extravagant love for her country. In an age when fake news manipulates elections, Imelda’s comeback story serves as a dark fairy tale. THE KINGMAKER Production Notes Artist Statement by Lauren Greenfield During my long-term investigations of wealth as a photographer and filmmaker, Imelda Marcos, the former First Lady of the Philippines, has been a reference point as a global icon of excess. I was astonished when I learned that, after she and her husband, Ferdinand Marcos, were ousted by a popular uprising and fled into exile, she had somehow managed to return to the Philippines and reenter politics as a congresswoman. My fascination with her grew when I read an article by Bloomberg reporter Bill Mellor about a little-known footnote of her legacy: In 1976, she and President Marcos set out to create a safari park by evicting the population of the island of Calauit and importing 104 African animals.

SYNOPSIS Mark Landis has been called one of the most prolific art forgers in US history. His impressive body of work spans thirty years, covering a wide range of painting styles and periods that includes 15th Century Icons, Picasso, and even Walt Disney. And while the copies could fetch impressive sums on the open market, Landis isn't in it for money. Posing as a philanthropic donor, a grieving executor of a family member’s will, and most recently as a Jesuit priest, Landis has given away hundreds of works over the years to a staggering list of institutions across the United States. But after duping Matthew Leininger, a tenacious registrar who ultimately discovers the decades-long ruse and sets out to expose his philanthropic escapades to the art world, Landis must confront his own legacy and a chorus of museum professionals clamoring for him to stop. However, stopping isn’t as simple as it might appear. Landis, it turns out, struggles with mental illness and over the years he’s developed an outright “addiction to philanthropy” as his elaborate cons offer him the chance to cultivate connection and respect.
