Kurt Kuenne

Recebi de uma amiga a seguinte mensagem:

"sei que parece longo,
mas são 15 minutinhos que valerão muito a pena.
que, pelo menos, traga-lhe um sorriso:"

"Validation"



Resolvi dar uma pesquisada sobre o diretor no IMDB e descobri outro filme de Kurt Kuenne no YouTube. "Rent-a-person" a seguir foi feito três anos antes de "Validation", a ligação entre os dois vale ver o filme até o final:





O grande projeto de Kurt Kuenne é "Dear Zachary", do IMDB: "He also recently completed his 6 year passion project, the feature documentary "Dear Zachary: a letter to a son about his father", about the 2001 murder of his best friend, Dr. Andrew Bagby; Andrew was killed by his ex-girlfriend, who fled the United States for Canada, then discovered she was pregnant with Andrew's son, whom she named Zachary. Originally begun as a project for Zachary to learn about his father, the film follows Andrew's parents' battle to win custody of their grandson from the clutches of their son's murderer, and is an activist plea for reform to Canada's flawed bail system, which allowed Andrew's murderer to walk free while awaiting extradition and kill again. "Dear Zachary" premiered to rave reviews and standing ovations at the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah in January 2008, won both a Special Jury Award and the Audience Award at Cinequest in San Jose, and continued screening to packed houses and rave reviews at SXSW in Austin, Texas."
