-- Walter Cronkite
“Toots Shor is many things to many people,” said Edward R. Murrow of the legendary Manhattan saloonkeeper in 1955. A friend to the famous, a crook to the feds, father, brother, gambler, bum, but most of all Toots Shor was the owner of…

IndiePix Films launches new Nonfiction Awards |
|
|
|
|
| |
January 10, 2008 - Excerpts of the Indiewire press release
A new nonfiction filmmaking award, recognizing the wide breadth of the genre and also specific crafts such as cinematography and editing is being created from within the documentary community. The inaugural event, honoring films from 2007, will be held on March 18, 2008 at the IFC Center in New York City. The awards are to be co-chaired by filmmaker AJ Schnack (director of KURT COBAIN ABOUT A SON?) and Thom Powers, Documentary Programmer of the Toronto International Film Festival.
Nominees in 8 categories will be announced on January 20, 2008 at an event for press and the documentary community in Park City, UT (coinciding with the Sundance Film Festival). On that date further details will be revealed about the award, including its official name.
Fifteen films have been shortlisted in the category of Outstanding Achievement in Nonfiction Filmmaking by a blue-ribbon nominating committee of 12 programmers from North America's top film festivals who are esteemed for their specialization in documentary. Those films are:
"Billy the Kid"
"Deep Water"
"The Devil Came on Horseback"
"Ghosts of Cite Soleil"
"In the Shadow of the Moon"
"Into Great Silence"
"Lake of Fire"
"Manda Bala (Send a Bullet)"
"Manufactured Landscapes"
"The Monastery - Mr. Vig and the Nun"
"No End in Sight"
"Sicko"
"Taxi to the Dark Side"
"The Unforeseen"
"Zoo"
The idea for the awards was born out of vigorous debate in the documentary community chronicled by Mr. Schnack on his popular nonfiction film blog All these wonderful things. His call for recognizing documentaries based on filmmaking craft and creativity engendered a groundswell of support that resulted in a coalition, including the participation of IndiePix, to support the venture.
Mr. Schnack said, "Many of us feel that there is often a gap between the films that have impacted the year in nonfiction filmmaking and those films recognized at year's end. This was particularly true in this past year, which saw such strong advancement in filmmaking craft.We believe that the time is right to acknowledge the vision and innovation of the filmmakers and craftspersons within the broad field of nonfiction, no matter the subject." As the award co-chair, Mr. Schnack has withheld his 2007 film 'Kurt Cobain About a Son' from award consideration to avoid any conflict of interest.
Bob Alexander, President of IndiePix, said that: "Over the last year, we have had the opportunity to work with a number of nonfiction filmmakers whose dedication to the art and craft of their films is unparalleled. We are very pleased to be able to contribute to the organization of these awards, to support the concept of superior craft in nonfiction filmmaking, and to bring our full suite of internet technologies to support this event." Mr. Alexander said that Danielle DiGiacomo, the coordinator for Documentary Films at IndiePix, will be the point person for the Company's involvement.
Schnack added, "IndiePix, as a forward-thinking company that has proven dedicated to celebrating the best in independent film, is the perfect partner for this project."
The nominating committee will select nominees in 8 categories (see the list below) from a list of 76 eligible films. The winners will be chosen by a larger voting pool selected from within the documentary community of top filmmakers, distributors, programmers and writers. Voting will take place beginning in February 2008. Voting will be conducted by secure internet transactions on the IndiePix website.
Mr. Powers said, "In choosing voters, we are putting a premium on who watches the most documentaries. Rather than look to outside groups for validation, this is an honor from within the community."
Award Categories:
Outstanding Achievement in Nonfiction Filmmaking
Outstanding Achievement in an International Feature
Outstanding Achievement in a Debut Feature
Outstanding Achievement in Direction
Outstanding Achievement in Producing
Outstanding Achievement in Editing
Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography
Outstanding Achievement in Graphics and Animation
Members of the Nominating Committee:

Matt Dentler, Producer, South by Southwest Film Festival
Sean Farnel, Director of Programming, Hot Docs
Tom Hall, Director of Programming, Sarasota Film Festival

January 7, 2008 - Inexplicable disorder. Televisions off-air. Humans ravaging each other for scraps of food and weapons. This is the turn that life takes for three friends trying to find their place in post-9-11 America. Elegantly shot in crisp HD, this dark, eerie portrait of societal meltdown questions the loyalties of friendship and challenges all illusions of safety and order.
IndiePix is thrilled to welcome John W. Yost into the fold, and provide the highest quality DVD and download-to-own distribution for Every Good Thing to Rust. The IndiePix release of the film will also include trailers, a commentary track with the director and lead actor, production stills, and more.
After production of Every Good Thing to Rust, Filmmaker John W. Yost chose to forgo the festival circuit and offer the entire film as a download, so that any fan of independent film would have access. Check out his website, www.everygoodthingtorust.com, for his fantastic blog about the decision. As well as giving away his movie to any with a computer, Mr. Yost has found a way for his film to make a larger, positive difference in the community. During the month of December John teamed up with several diverse venues in upstate New York to screen the film and raise money for the Homeless and Traveler's Aid Society of the Capital District. The four screenings were very successful, raising some much needed and very appreciated funds. HATAS works with the community's impoverished, helpless, and homeless by offering more than just a handout, but by helping them lead normal lives, one step at a time.
Check out the film's trailer at www.IndiePixFilms.com/everygoodthingtorust.

Having won the hearts of festival juries and audiences, this film is now garnering critical support like more laurels and prizes.
New York Magazine made the film its only "Critics Pick" for the weekend and David Edelstein writes: "Watching him try to orient himself in a world that makes no sense makes you wonder how any of us ever did."

The film was produced "in association with IndiePix" and we have screen credits as Executive Producers and Associate Producers on the project. Bob Alexander, President of IndiePix said: "This is exactly the kind of film that we wanted IndiePix to be associated with and we are grateful for the opportunity and very proud of the work by Director Jennifer Venditti and Producer Chiemi Karasawa."
