Luci Westphal and Scott Solary‘s documentary, “All God’s Children” is getting its NYC premiere tomorrow at Tribeca Cinemas. Coming off numerous screening around the country, filmgoers are due to a treat as the filmmaking duo and several of the film’s participants will be in attendance.
From the press release:
Through the eyes of three families, the documentary All God’s Children tells the personal story of the first boarding school for children of missionaries to be investigated for abuse at the hands of the parents’ missionary colleagues. The survivors and parents share their journey of seeking justice, redemption and healing.
This film has been on indieWIRE’s radar since 2004, where it was highlighted in a production report by Jason Guerassio.

“Much is remarkable about the sweet and wonderful coming-of-age period drama “An Education,” the latest from Danish director Lone Scherfig and the first unqualified breakout at this year’s Sundance Film Festival….. (Carey) Mulligan is a newcomer to most audiences and while she has strong stage and TV work as well as supporting roles in art-house movies, “An Education” is her first leading screen role. She’s fantastic, utterly believable as a schoolgirl who desperately wants to be seen as a sophisticated adult,” said film critic Steve Ramos for indieWIRE back in January.
Peter Sarsgaard is also quite good in the film… You can see iW’‘s film page with release info here.
iW predicted back in February that there will most definitely be Oscar buzz around the British starlet.
We’re in post LAFF mode, but here’s a gem I am just now getting to post:
The ghost of Johnny Cash made an appearance for the world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival of Brent Meeske’s documentary “Branson,” which follows the strange world of strip-mall performers in Branson, Missouri where over 50 theaters host concerts, performances, and other family friendly acts to a million people a year. The highlight of the film is the dark struggle of Johnny Cash impersonator Jackson Cash, who fights chronic drug problems while trying to maintain his growing career evoking The Man in Black. Afterwards, Jackson did a rousing performance of Cash classics, including the Nine Inch Nails cover, “Hurt.”
Creepiness abound in Richard Kelly’s first big studio effort, “The Box.” At the indieWIRE/Apple event last year where Kelly discussed his last film, “Southland Tales,” Kelly teased “The Box” as more of a seat filler and not as risky as his past projects.
Watch "The Tourist," a short film by James and Jeff Israel.
