SXSW Winner 'In A Dream' Gets a Trailer and Theatrical Dates
Filed under: Documentary », Drama », Independent », SXSW », Movie Marketing », Trailers and Clips »
If you've been to Philadelphia you've probably seen the mosiacs and murals of artist Isaiah Zagar. (Or your hometown may have a few ripoffs -- mine does!) He's now the subject of a documentary titled In a Dream, which also happens to be the directorial debut of his son, Jeremiah Zagar. The documentary chronicles Isaiah's work as the artist suffers a personal breakdown, and the implosion of his marriage and family life. From the trailer, it looks like something we can all relate to, yet feels a bit alien at the same time -- the Zagars clearly experience life and emotion on an almost operatic level.
Scott Weinberg (and Philly native) saw it at SXSW premiere, where it won the Emerging Visions Audience Award. While press releases call it "harrowing", Scott thought it was "a portrait of a sweet but slightly fractured man, it's one of the most unexpectedly touching documentaries I've ever seen." It's now getting a theatrical release in New York, Philadelphia, San Fransisco, and Los Angeles, with more cities and dates to be announced. Check out the documentary's official website and blog to find out when and where it'll be playing. As you wait for it appear in your city, you can view the trailer below:

SXSW Review: In a Dream
Filed under: Documentary », SXSW », Theatrical Reviews »
The wonderful artworks of Isaiah Zagar are scattered all across South Philadelphia, and I should know because I've seen 'em hundreds of times. (Start at 4th & South Street!) Gigantic murals peppered with brightly colored tiles and thousands of mirror shards ... and when you step back from the massive murals (or if you peer in real close), Mr. Zagar's artworks hit you with all sorts of strange new details. I think that native Philadelphians probably take these exhibits for granted, but I think they're the coolest sort of art imaginable: Vibrant, emotional, perpetually evolving masterpieces.
But before last week, I had NO IDEA who created all these awesome pieces. Then I read the plot synopsis for a documentary called In a Dream. You're telling me that all these fantastic walls were done by one guy? Wow.
