Sundance Narrative Films - The Accidental Getaway Driver and Mamacruz

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Day One of our Sundance and Slamdance Film Festival coverage! We've joined forces again with our dear friend and Honorary Bitch, John Wildman of Films Gone Wild, and we're excited to a share our interviews with two Sundance narrative films that we really loved... First we sit down with director Sing J. Lee to talk about his beautiful film The Accidental Getaway Driver (winner of the Sundance U.S. Dramatic Competition Director Award). The film follows a Vietnamese driver in Southern California  as he unknowingly picks up escaped convicts and becomes their hostage. Sing shares how he was able to infuse both action and thoughtfulness with both the writing and directing of the film, and how he adapted the film that was based on a true story.Next we discuss the film Mamacruz with director Patricia Ortega. This hilarious and touching film follows a religious grandmother who accidentally stumbles across porn on the internet, and goes through a sexual awakening. Patricia shares how growing up under the sexual repression of Catholicism, as well as finding an interesting picture of her mother, led to her need to make this film.Follow director Sing J.
