“The Girlfriend Experience” director Lodge Kerrigan’s 2004 movie “Keane,” starring Damian Lewis and Abigail Breslin, is getting a 4K restoration and a U.S. theatrical release.
Grasshopper Film snapped up distribution rights to the critically acclaimed pic, which is executive produced by Steven Soderbergh and produced by Andrew Fierberg. “Keane” — in 4K — will premiere in cinemas in early 2022, followed by releases on VOD, TV and home video. (The movie received a limited theatrical release in New York back in 2005.)
“Keane” turns on William Keane (Lewis) who is struggling to cope six months after his six-year-old daughter was abducted from New York City’s Port Authority Bus Terminal while traveling with him. Repeatedly drawn to the site of the abduction, Keane wanders the bus station, compulsively replaying the events of that fateful day as if hoping to change the outcome.

The fear of impending death is contagious in Amy Seimetz's new movie She Dies Tomorrow. Although the film explores a grim and timely topic, it's shot with a dreamlike beauty by director of photography Jay Keitel, and we were thrilled to discuss the film's indelible visuals with Keitel in a new Q&a feature.
Congratulations on She Dies Tomorrow, Jay! When did you first find out about this movie, and how long did you have to prepare for filming it?
Jay Keitel: Thank you! The director, Amy Seimetz called me early on and shared with me what she was writing. We talked about her thoughts on what direction the script was taking, the mood she was going for, and some character emotions and transitions. From there I did some personal creative exploration, gathering images and taking photos. And then we made some tests to kind of flesh out some visual ideas.

We got the chance to speak with Runoff Writer/Director Kimberly Levin, who explains some of Runoff's taut formal elements and untangles the creative ties between her transition from Biochemist to theater director, and now filmmaker.
"...I can say without hesitation that if you want to be able to say you were there when a great American filmmaker's career kicked off, you need to see "Runoff."
-Matt Zoller Seitz (RogerEbert.com)
Fortunately for me, I can say I was there at the advent. I was struck by this debut. It came out of left field and seemed too dense and shrewd in form to be cultivated by fresh talent. Runoff is a febrile farmland drama shot on location in Kentucky (though its rustic world building suggests any rural landscape). It stars Joanne Kelly as Betty, a female character a billion times more empowering than any scantily-clad female super-hero...
