When Sam discovers that one of her brightest students, Jasmine (Bean), is also pregnant, the two form an unlikely friendship. Sam wanted to try for her dream job, but that possibility seems even more tenuous with a baby on the way. The third film from Kris Swanberg - who is married to indie film wunderkind Joe - centers on Sam (Smulders), a Chicago public school science teacher who discovers that she is pregnant with her first child as her school is closing.

Starring: Cobie Smulders, Gail Bean, Anders Holm, Elizabeth McGovern Written by: Kris Swanberg and Megan Mercier Louis Peitzmanĭistribution: Magnolia Pictures acquired Tangerine with a deal reportedly "in the high six figures." No release date has been set. And that's all the more impressive given that the characters at its center - transgender women of color and sex workers - are so seldom given the opportunity to portray their own stories. The film excited audiences by being one of the most vibrant and offbeat offerings of the festival, but it's fully grounded in real human emotion. Tangerine captures a side of Los Angeles rarely seen on-screen, and the seedy underbelly of the city has never looked better. Tangerine pulses with frenetic energy from start to finish: Shot primarily on an iPhone 5s, the film follows two transgender prostitutes, Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez), fresh out of prison and looking to reunite with her pimp boyfriend Chester (James Ransone), and Alexandra (Mya Taylor), Sin-Dee's more level-headed best friend. Starring: Kitana Kiki Rodriguez, Mya Taylor, Karren Karagulian, Mickey O'Hagan, Alla Tumanian, James Ransone
#MARCIA GAY HARDEN SCIENTOLOGY MOVIE#
Kate Aurthurĭistribution: Magnolia has acquired the movie and will release it in the second quarter of 2015. You will leave with questions - there are no talking heads here - but more than that, you will root for these kids. Their mother, and, yes, their father, are also fascinating characters. You would think that these kids would barely be human - but instead, they're articulate, emotionally present, and charismatic. It's an insane story, but, as we watch the boys age and come into their own, it's also a riveting, funny, and tragic one. They are movie fanatics who have constructed their identities and gotten their ideas about how people interact by watching, acting out, and filming scenes from popular films.

Moselle's movie, which won Sundance's documentary Grand Jury Prize, follows the six Angulo brothers, who have lived their lives trapped inside their apartment by their paranoid, unhinged father. The Wolfpack is stranger than fiction, especially in the ways it collides with fiction. Alison Willmoreĭistribution: Fox Searchlight and the film's production company, Indian Paintbrush, teamed up for one of the festival's heftier acquisition deals, and while there's no exact date yet, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl will be reaching theaters in 2015. It's a trick that Whiplash, now a Best Picture nominee, pulled off last year, so expect to be hearing a lot more about Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl ended up dazzling crowds, winning over resistant critics, sparking a heated bidding war, and earning both the audience and grand jury awards in the U.S. The YA tearjerker is a vibrantly directed ode to the power of movies and to how opening yourself up to someone is worth the hurt it can bring. But it turned out instead to be the best surprise of the festival. With that title and one of the most twee descriptions in this year's Sundance catalogue - the film, it promised, "will tickle your funny bone and tug at your heart" - Me and Earl and the Dying Girl was positioned to be a manipulative quirkfest. Starring: Thomas Mann, RJ Cyler, Olivia Cooke, Connie Britton, Nick Offerman
