Thirteen Set for
Sundance's June Filmmakers and Screenwriters
Lab (by Eugene Hernandez, April 30,
2004)
Sundance Institute has unveiled participants for
June's Filmmakers and Screenwriters Labs at the Sundance
Village in Utah. This year's Filmmaker's Lab will run from May
25 - June 24, featuring three weeks of work on narrative
projects by eight filmmakers and then a week in which a group
of screenwriters arrive to work on their scripts with
advisors.
"The projects selected for the Lab represent
the distinctive and innovative voices of an exciting group of
emerging filmmakers from the U.S. and around the world," said
Michelle Satter, Director of the Sundance Institute Feature
Film Program, in a prepared statement. "Individually, and as a
whole, the projects explore the diversity and complexity of
our contemporary culture with originality, humor, and
emotional truth. During the Lab, the filmmakers will have the
opportunity to further develop their talent and projects in a
creative community that values risk-taking and bold
ideas."
Editor’s Note:
Included on the 13 selected there is a
Latino:
Orlando
"Dito" Montiel (writer/director), "A Guide to Recognizing Your
Saints," U.S.A.: A quintessentially American story
of a young man's hunger for experience, his dawning awareness
of the bigger world across the bridge, and of the loyalties
that bind him to a violent past and to the flawed and
desperate saints that have guided him.

Editor’s Note:
This IS MY VERY LARGE, BIG, HUMANGOUS, BIEN GRANDE
RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU DO NOT MISS THIS OUTSTANDING FILM. I
got to see it at the last LALIFF and have been looking forward
for its release since then, so I can take all my family and
friends to see it. Please excuse my insistence, you all know I
rarely do this, but this one more than deserves the praise.
Just a word of caution, if you don’t like sweet small simple
films, this may not be your cup of te…, but even so, if you
still like good filmmaking, this one is
inspiring.

Talento Bilingue de Houston, the

Mayo, the Mexican satirical classic film " La Ley de Herodes",

outlandish comedy by filmmaker Luis Estrada, portrays the
growing corruption and scandalous conduct of a newly appointed
rural political leader as he attempts to lead (and prod) a
sleepy Mexican village into the modern
world.
Estrada, one of the new generation of
Mexican filmmakers, released this wacky, sarcastic film in
1999. In 2000, it won the Best Latin American Film Award at
the Sundance Film Festival.
Please tell your friends and join us
at TBH as we celebrate Cinco de Mayo and Latino and American

County and by people like you.

nations.
