This morning we find two items of local interest contained within the virtual pages of IndieWire. First: Long-ago Observer-er Dana Harris sends word that the extremely authorized Sarah Palin propaganda filmdocumentary The Undefeated has found a collaboratorexhibitor, the AMC chain of theaters. As a result its producers and distributors say it will play at least 10 markets on July 15, with Dallas among the cities getting a screening of the film described in this morning’s announcement as “the story of a small-town girl who, against all odds, rises to the pinnacles of American government.” If it doesn’t star Rachel McAdams, or Julianne Moore, I am not interested.
IndieWire also rounds up a few notable in-productions “to root for” and includes on the short list Hal Sample’s in-need-of-funding-for-finishing Something for Nothing. As you no doubt recall, that’s his years-in-the-making documentary about Tachowa Covington, the homeless man who turned an abandoned water tank on the Pacific Coast Highway outside of Los Angeles into his home … only to see it yanked out from under him, literally, after it was branded by Banksy. I see Hal’s raised about $3,000 toward his goal of $30,000, with 17 days of Kickstarting to go. He’s also posting deleted scenes from the doc in the hopes of spurring more donations. A heads-up in IndieWire also can’t hurt.
