While not all receive the golden ticket for a Park City premiere, the invaluable support available at the Sundance Institute is ongoing and takes several shapes and forms. Last year’s batch of Documentary Edit and Story Labs attendees included Anna Sandilands & Ewan McNicol who trimmed Uncertain, while Lyric Cabral & David Felix Sutcliffe spliced into shape (T)Error. As underlined in the press release, this year’s eight projects touches of subjects of transgender parents, the aftermath of Sandy Hook tragedy, exonerated death row inmates and AIDS. Among the noteworthy names attending (June 19-27 and July 3-11) we find Lost in La Mancha duo of Keith Fulton & Lou Pepe (see pic above) and Informant director Jamie Meltzer’s tentatively titled Freedom Fighters. Here are the participants and creative folk for ’15.

Sundance Institute today announced the eight projects selected for the annual Documentary Edit and Story Labs in Utah from June 19-27 and July 3-11.
The Labs focus on projects in the latter stages of post-production and this year’s topics include transgender parents, the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre and education and poverty.
Recent participants in the Documentary Edit and Story Lab include (T)Error, The Queen Of Versailles (pictured) and The Kill Team.
“The work of this year’s fellows is a reflection of some of the richness and purpose to be found in contemporary non-fiction storytelling,” said Documentary Film Program director Tabitha Jackson.
“We are excited not just about the projects, but also about the alchemy that will happen on the mountain when these directors and editors, first-time and mid-career, national and international come together to form the creative connections that will continue to inspire them in their brave and challenging work.”

Jack and Jill went up the hill, each with a buck and a quarter ... Jill came down with $2.50. (That's my yearly Andrew Dice Clay joke).
Adam Sandler is reteaming with Dennis Dugan (Grown Ups, You Don't Mess With The Zohan I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry), the world's most incompetent director, to make a romantic comedy, Jack and Jill. The catch. Adam Sandler will play Jack. And Jill.
Wow. I really thought when I decided to write up this piece that I'd have something to say about this project. But honestly: What can you say about the project that isn't already horribly obvious? Except that Adam Sandler is going to make a terrible looking woman. (Cinemablend)
Matthew McConaughey is the latest to offer up a soon-to-be-failed television show about surfing. (Deadline)
Ricky Gervais' coming-of-age drama Cemetary Junction (which he co-wrote and co-directed with Stephen Merchant) is headed straight to DVD this August.

I love this new trend on the Internet of taking a bunch of movies and cutting them up into a montage video, exposing through repetition the artifice of filmmaking. Or to put it another, cutting together a bunch of similar scenes from different movies to make you life at how silly it all is. The "no signal on cellphones in horror movies" montage is thoroughly enjoyable, as is the largely "Die Hard"-driven series of "Get out of there!" exclamations. There's a new one though that trumps them all.
Jacob Bricca's "Pure," set to the sounds of Jesus Lizard, is "a meditation on violence and visual tropes at the movies." It is exactly what the description says it is, and very well put together at that. According to his website, Bricca isn't just a director/editor but also a professor, at Wesleyan. "Pure" is freshly out online, but it...

Over the past few years we've seen a lot of montages, re-edits and remixes based on footage from popular movies, and popular action movies in particular. But none is quite like Pure, which is almost brutal in the way it slices every bit of extraneous material away from the skeleton of the action movie. I might've watched this a dozen times over the weekend, and it is too good not to share. Director/editor Jacob Bricca calls Pure "a meditation on genre, a commentary on visual cliches, and a celebration of the visceral pleasures of cinema." What I love about this edit is that it creates a sort of narrative throughline -- the action hero is wary, then in pursuit. There's confrontation, an escape, and the inevitable car chase, which leads to an explosion-heavy climax, and the look back from the weary hero. Along the way Bricca compares all sorts...

Sundays are made for cinema.
Whether it’s a sparsely populated matinee screening in your local picturehouse or a enjoying long lost classic on the TV as you lie defeated after a meal with the family; the lull in the working week allows for the simple pleasure of film to work its magic.
One of the parts of working on HeyUGuys that gives the most pleasure is the connections we build with our readers and the film recommendations we receive and pass on ourselves is great fun. The weekly Ripped from the Crypt section of our Mouth Off podcast is becoming a favourite arena for championing our favoured oddities.
In this spirit I’m happy to point you in the direction of Jacob Bricca’s short film Pure, which in the words of the director is,
A meditation on genre, a commentary on visual cliches, and a celebration of the visceral pleasures of cinema.
