Not that we would expect IndieWire to make a deal about it, but today (October 5, 2007) on their front page here, four top IndiePix are featured.

First up is Billy The Kid from Director Jennifer Venditti, Produced by Jen and Chiemi Karasawa. Their film was a great success at the IFC screening earlier this week, playing to a sold out, waiting line crowd. Here they are with friend, John Tuturro. We’ll hear more about this film as we get further into the Fall. IndiePix exex’s are Executive Producers on this great title. Here is the link to that story.

Next in line is My Kid Could Paint That from Director Amir Bar-Lev. Amir has a great project, supported by A&E and picked up at Sundance by Sony Pictures Classics. Amir was previously a contributor to The Katrina Experience with a compelling documentary, New Orleans Furlough. This 20-minute short film finds the intersection of drugs, war, and failed love in one National Guardsman returning from Iraq to help after Katrina. It is one of the most powerful films in the Full Frame/IndiePix collection The Katrina Experience, available for the Library and Educational markets through IndiePix. IndiePix contributed finishing funds for that project. The front page today will scroll by into history, but here is the link to the article on his new film.

Still on the IndieWire front page, just a few paragraphs down, is an interview with Alex LeMay, director of Desert Bayou. Desert Bayou is the lead title in the Full Frame/IndiePix collection The Katrina Experience, and we commented on its very successful screening at MOMA last week in another post. Alex gave IndiePix a “special thanks” in the credits for our help in funding some of the editing on this project. Desert Bayou is being distributed by Cinema Libre Studios, IndiePix’s partner for retail DVD distribution. Check out this whole interview here.

We’re very proud of our filmmakers, and very happy to be associated with them. And we’re very pleased when so many of them are up front and center (where they ought to be!).
