Never mind splashy screenings for the likes of Baby Mama and Speed Racer. Tribeca '08 will largely be a forum for the Little Films That Can. And many won't. Some projects may have the money for a reasonably slick marketing push; some won't have enough coin to fly the director's family out for the premiere. Regardless of the camp into which they fall, we thought it only fair to allow the people in charge of these films, the directors, to appeal to our readers themselves.
We posed the same five questions to every filmmaker accepted into the festival and offered them the chance to reply. Below are the responses we've received, virtually unedited. (We've made a few snips for clarity; that's it.)
Amos Poe, director of Empire II
1 Why should someone watch your movie, in 100 words or less? (Don't just paste in your marketing blurb. Persuade our readers.)
At 3 hours, it's the best bang for your buck.
2 Without spoiling your plot, describe a scene in your film that audiences will love.
July 4th fireworks and a Halloween parade.
3 If your protagonist were an animal, what would he/she be and why?
A giraffe.
4 What will surprise me about this movie?
The beauty of a year in New York City.
5 How would describe your filmmaking style or philosophy? How is that reflected in this project?
"I'm not interested in the image of action, I'm interested in the action of image." ’Carl Theodore Dreyer
