Zeitgeist picks up 'Trouble the Water'
Hurricane Katrina docu set for Oscar-qualifying run
NEW YORK -- The Hurricane Katrina chronicle "Trouble the Water," winner of this year's Sundance Grand Jury documentary prize, has been picked up for U.S. distribution by Zeitgeist Films.
North American rights to another Sundance world premiere, the 2007 gay Christian drama "Save Me," have been nabbed by First Run Features.
Tia Lessin and Carl Deal's "Water" uses camcorder footage from aspiring rapper Kimberly Roberts and Scott Roberts shot before and during the New Orleans disaster. The film tracks the couple through the aftermath, taking a critical look at the government's response and media coverage.
An Aug. 22 Oscar-qualifying run in Los Angeles and New York is planned, followed by a national platform release. Zeitgeist's Nancy Gerstman negotiated the deal with Cinetic Media.
Robert Cary's "Save Me" stars Chad Allen as a drug-addicted gay man sent by his brother to a Christian camp to make him straight, a task made more complicated when he ends up falling for his mentor (Robert Gant). Judith Light and Stephen Lang also star in the drama, set for a Sept. 5 release in New York. First Run negotiated the deal with Garbus Kroupa Entertainment, Mythgarden and Tetrahedron Prods.
