I first got to know Tony Pemberton when his production company Go East Productions co-produced my documentary The Mark of Cain. Tony was living in Moscow at the time and I could not have navigated Russia without him. He directed his own Film Beyond The Ocean (2000) in Russia and he knew the ins and outs of filmmaking there. No matter how insane my requests were, he never considered anything impossible. Pemberton is currently in Germany shooting his feature film Buddha’s Little Finger. He is in Berlin, which is standing in for Moscow in the ’90s. Additionally, Pemberton is in …...

Over the long weekend, plenty of folks got the news that they’ve had their feature, doc or short films accepted into the Sundance Film Festival. This Wednesday, the festival begins making their line-up official while keeping the short film announcements for the following week. The previous week we’ve made some prognostications as to what should be included in the 2013 edition. Here’s an easy to click recap of some of those predictions. We’ve added those who’ve been mentioned in Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film, the fortunate ones who’ve had their work run inside the Sundance Labs, those who are working from a Blacklist named screenplay, those who are basing their feature on a short film that was accepted into the festival in a previous edition and finally those who’ve had funding via Kickstarter. * denotes feature directorial debut while ++ denotes that person...

One more example of a successful Kickstarter campaign, Tony Pemberton’s Are We Not Men? – the authorized docu on Devo has been in the works for the better part of three years, and is now set for a 2013 premiere. Pemberton’s history with Park City is limited to a single item – a narrative drama called Beyond the Ocean (Sundance ’00). The doc film could show at Sundance or SXSW or both and Park City’s Main Street would love to greet New Wave sounds and other possible guests as the talking heads in this feature more than just the members of Devo, but David Bowie, Iggy Pop, David Grohl (more on him later in or predictions list) among others, and digs deep into the band’s history (see clip below).

What started out as a couple of art nerds creating satirical works and performances became one of the most wonderfully subversive, creative, and challenging bands in recent history. The boys of Devo and their musical de-evolution assault across the world spoke to director Tony Pemberton — the filmmaker behind a new project that just reached its funding goal on Kickstarter. Are We Not Men? — named after Devo's first album — was produced in cooperation with the band. The project was developed over the course of three years and has finally reached the post-production phase — just in time for the festival circuit. "Although the band has been notoriously secretive for nearly 4 decades, they have granted us unprecedented full-access to their personal...

- Lots of glossy business cards will be exchanged during the 4th edition of International Financing Forum (Iff) (which takes place during Tiff). In what I imagine is like a speed dating between producers looking for coin and those looking to finance the next hot film project. There are a slew of names/projects from established filmmakers (Hany Abu-Assad, Terrence Davies and Kevin Macdonald) and some first-time directors among the 43 listed below that have caught over attention. Hany Abu-Assad is taking on what I imagine would be a controversial biopic - attaching himself to Arafat with his Paradise Now producer, Roman Paul. Paul produced Waltz with Bashir, and the upcoming (we'll be talking about this one in 2010), Womb. I'd be surprised if Tony Grisoni took a day off in the past 24 months, he has penned a truck load of projects and would embark on his feature filmmaking debut with Kingsland.
