Horror as youths armed with a knife and baseball bats fight at a leisure complex as schoolkids make their way home

Addie Morfoot Contributor As the market for independently made documentaries continues to dry up, regional film festivals have become essential to filmmakers hoping to sell their docs. At this year’s Sarasota Film Festival, which kicks off on March 25, 36 documentaries are part of the lineup. Over 25 of them are seeking distribution. They include Luke Lorentzen’s “A Still Small Voice,” Alexandria Bombach’s “It’s Only Life After All” about the Indigo Girls, Ben Braun and Chiaki Yanagimoto “AUM: The Cult at the End of the World” and Bethann Hardison and Frédéric Tcheng’s “Invisible Beauty.” All four films premiered at Sundance in January. “From Submarine’s point of view, we’ve always encouraged great regional festivals like Sarasota, the Berkshires, Woodstock and the Hamptons partially because there is the possibility that awards voters are there,” says Submarine Entertainment sales agent Josh Braun, who reps both “AUM: The Cult at the End of the World” and “Invisible Beauty.” “There’s the possibility of industry being there in the form of a judge or on an industry panel.”

“We may come to a point and time when Earth is asking us, “do you know what you are doing?’” That’s one of the lines of the voiceover in Oliver Stone’s new documentary, “Nuclear Now.” Has Stone gone off the reservation in recent years, seemingly backing Vladimir Putin, defending Harvey Weinstein, and coming up with all kinds of controversial ideas and statements?
