San San Trilogy and Nova Heat

Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe’s San San Universe is partially based on a futurist theory put forth by Herman Kahn and Anthony J. Weiner in their book The Year 2000 (1967), which speculated that San Diego and San Francisco would merge into one giant metropolis by the turn of the twenty-first century. Although this prediction never came to pass, the theory is foundational to Freeman and Lowe’s creation: an adjacent world that parallels modern-day reality and illuminates our society’s relationships to technology, music, drugs, subcultures, and politics.

Bird

“If ever a film puts its arm round a kid and says: ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got you’, that’s Bird and Bailey. She’s a character you feel [writer/director Andrea] Arnold would lie on railtracks to protect – and that’s a powerful, moving instinct to share.” —Dave Calhoun, Time Out

Blitz

“Blitz is a vivid and visceral depiction of life during wartime, a meticulous historical account that resonates unmistakably with our current age of endless war.” —Dennis Lim, Artistic Director, 62nd New York Film Festival

The Cowboy and the Queen

“Nevins and editor/writer Graham Clark put forth a solid foundation for the film cleverly intertwining Roberts’ life with milestones in the Queen’s life, all the while staying true to what brought the improbable pair together: a deep love for horses and perhaps an even greater love for kindness and peace.” —Daily Nexus
