Amid a Toronto Film Festival light on sales, Greenwich Entertainment has nabbed domestic distribution for a documentary on Louis C.K., TheWrap has learned.
The film, “Sorry/Not Sorry,” details the stand-up’s downfall after he was accused in a 2017 New York Times article of sexual misconduct by five women. It also deals with C.K.’s attempts at a post-scandal comeback — including a Grammy win in 2021 — along with backlash faced by the accusers. The sale came hours after the film’s TIFF world premiere.
Directed by Caroline Suh and Cara Mones, “Sorry/Not Sorry” is a New York Times production. Financial terms have not been disclosed, but Greenwich’s Andy Bohn negotiated the acquisition with CAA Media Finance on behalf of The New York Times.
“We couldn’t be happier to be partnering with Greenwich in the release of ‘Sorry/Not Sorry,'” Suh stated. “Their support means that the film – and the...

A Montana rancher, a Kansas farmer and a Louisiana commercial fishermen might not necessarily fit our stereotype of environmental activist, but as the new documentary “Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman” shows the drastic changes to the earth’s environment are directly affecting the professions these men love. In this epic documentary, based on best-selling author Miriam Horn’s book, co-directors Susan Froemke, John Hoffman and Beth Aala had to rely on three different cinematographers to capture the three men’s stories and the stunning landscapes they call their office.
Cinematographer Bob Richman’s work was largely focused on the capturing the footage shot of ranching in Montana, while DPs Buddy Squires and Thorsten Thielow were tasked with shooting in Kansas and Louisiana.
IndieWire recently caught up with Richman to learn about how he approached capturing the majesty of “Big Sky” country and the life of a rancher.

It took a team of four seasoned documentary DPs to capture the stories of Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman. Shot in Montana, Kansas and Louisiana, the film documents the lives of three men (the titular rancher, farmer and fisherman) who act as environmental conservationists in their respective fields. Directors Susan Froemke and John Hoffman have the action unfold in a vérité fashion, which stresses the land and the people who work it. Among the DPs they hired for the project were Bob Richman (An Inconvenient Truth), Buddy Squires (The Central Park Five) and Thorsten Thielow (30 for 30). Below, these three cinematographers discuss the unique challenges […]...

The Motion Picture Academy has just emerged from another of its throes of rewriting the ground rules involving feature-length documentaries. At stake is a nomination for an Oscar, which can be invaluable. Most new documentaries, even those widely discussed, don’t play in many cities or perhaps even states. An Oscar means more playdates, better business On Demand, and a longer shelf life on video.

You probably know by now that the West Memphis 3 (Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley Jr. and Jason Baldwin) were released from prison after giving an Alford plea — a guilty plea but not admitting to the act and asserting innocence — in August. At the time directors Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky were locking up their third film on the WM3, Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, when they heard the news of the surprise development and raced down to Arkansas. Unable to put the footage of the three being freed in the film before screening it at the Toronto International Film Festival, Berlinger and Sinofsky unveiled the new ending tonight at the New York Film Festival.
And adding to the excitement, Echols, Misskelley and Baldwin were on hand in their first public appearance since being freed.

Ahead Of Time is an engrossing new documentary chronicling the remarkable life of 100 year old feminist pioneer Ruth Gruber, an American journalist, author, photographer, humanitarian, and government official. A close friend of Virginia Wolff, Gruber was, in 1931 the youngest person in the world to have received a Ph.D and has advanced degrees in German Philosophy, Modern English Literature and Art History. She was the first journalist to enter the Soviet Arctic, escorted Holocaust refugees to America, and covered the Nuremberg trials. Quite an accomplishment for a woman in that time period, perhaps the film should have been titled .Ahead of Her Time.
Much of Ahead Of Time is a series of new interviews by filmmaker Bob Richman with Gruber as she speaks candidly and proudly of her achievements, obsessions, and globetrotting career. She.s a unique historical figure and quite the raconteur. Ms Gruber is fascinating to watch and listen to,...

There's a large iMac sitting on her desk and she writes everyday -- but Ruth Gruber still says, "I'm technologically illiterate." Then she laughs, her eyes crinkling in amusement: "They're inventing the 21st century," she says. "I'm learning a new language: Twitter, Google, things like that. They could probably put together a whole dictionary just of 21st-century words." The computer is still a tool that she's learning to use -- "At least I can make the type big enough so I can read it" -- the latest in a life that's lasted almost a century, and which is finally being given the kind of public acclaim it deserves in a documentary film. Called Ahead of Time, the film (which opens in limited release Friday, 9/10/10) by director Bob Richman follows Gruber's remarkable career as a pioneering journalist and writer from the 1920s...

Chicago – Though “The Devil Wears Prada” ultimately had a sobering message about resisting the vapid world of fashion, fans of the picture couldn’t care less. Who wouldn’t want to be Miranda Priestly, an editor-in-chief whose fashion taste influences the world? She spends all day getting what she wants, and can chill blood with the mere tensing of a facial muscle.
Meryl Streep made the role great fun, but her memorable performance left viewers wondering about the real-life woman Priestly was meant represent, Vogue editor Anna Wintour. R.J. Cutler’s breezily entertaining documentary, “The September Issue,” observes the formidable woman in her natural habitat, though the film could hardly be referred to as “The Wintour of Our Discontent.”
DVD Rating: 4.0/5.0

The 2009 Sundance Film Festival has been underway the past week and unfortunately I’m not there. Luckily there hasn’t been any news making its way out of Park City, Utah and I was able to cover everything else from my cozy abode 1,500 miles away. I would have loved to see the films though.
The winner of the grand jury prize and the audience favorite was Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire. The dramatic film tells the story of a teenager in 80s Harlem who is abused by her parent. It is only the second film to receive both awards this decade, according to Variety.
Last year’s audience winner was The Wackness, almost completely ignored when it hit theaters last summer, and the jury prize went to the recently Oscar-nominated Frozen River.
As usual, the festival shut out many of the movies that featured recognizable Hollywood stars,...
