At SXSW: AMERICAN FABLE

Last updated on: March 16, 2016 at 8:30 am By J. Ryan Parker

Writer/director Anne Hamilton interned with Terrence Malick. This relationship is abundantly clear in her debut feature, American Fable, which premiered in the Visions program at SXSW. It’s a fitting category because Hamilton is a director of extraordinary vision. Once the storytelling matches her cinematography, she’ll skyrocket to prominence. (more…) Read more

At SXSW: FREE IN DEED

Last updated on: March 15, 2016 at 9:36 pm By J. Ryan Parker

Writer/director Jake Mahaffy’s Free in Deed is a fever pitch of prayer, praise, torment, and attempted healings. It’s not an easy film to watch on a number of levels, but it’s one that reaches a shocking climax for those that can endure it. The end credits rolled to an audibly stunned audience.

At SXSW: DON’T THINK TWICE

Last updated on: March 15, 2016 at 3:37 pm By J. Ryan Parker

A film about members of an improv group going through life’s struggles with a cast featuring the likes of Gillian Jacobs, Keegan-Michael Key, Chris Gethard, Kate Micucci, and Tami Sagher is sure to be a hilarious hit. Add writer/director Mike Birbiglia in the lead, then you’ve got something that transcends the merely comical and rises to authentic, emotional heights. Don’t Think Twice is one of the best films to premiere at SXSW this year. (more…) Read more

At SXSW: THE SEER

Last updated on: March 15, 2016 at 12:15 am By J. Ryan Parker

When I saw Wendell Berry’s name in the subtitle of The Seer, a documentary that premiered at SXSW this week, I immediately put it on my schedule. I knew it would be, if at all reflective of his work, deeply thoughtful and provocative. I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful and mesmerizing. (more…) Read more

At SXSW: TRANSPECOS

Last updated on: March 14, 2016 at 2:56 pm By J. Ryan Parker

Given the vehemence with which the US/Mexico border is both physically and verbally contested, it’s a wonder that it hasn’t inspired more cinematic conversations about it than it has. Writer/director Greg Kwedar’s debut feature, Transpecos, revels in the isolation that US border patrol agents endure, while revealing the gaps (both physical and moral) in the borders they defend.

At SXSW: ACCIDENTAL COURTESY

Last updated on: March 24, 2016 at 7:35 pm By J. Ryan Parker

Perhaps one of the more disturbing trends of advances in media technology is that while social media has the power to bring us together, we are using it in ways that drive us further apart. We retreat to the safety of our camps, never having to experience the face-to-face interactions with those folks that disagree with us or even hate us. Accidental Courtesy: Darryl Davis, Race, & America is a new documentary about a musician turned social activist that dares to... Read more
