And finally, the last profile in our 75 film predictions list comes from our favorite sort of hodge-podge type filmmaker and while his name might not be familiar for those not in the know, the entire cinephile populous have seen his work. With a background in multiple mediums (photography, video and novel writing) Mexico City residing filmmaker Miguel Calderón saw his work featured in Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums (he conceived the paintings that are littered in select backdrops). The exotic bird handling facet in Anderson’s film might have influenced Calderón with the feature debut project he brought to both Sundance Institute’s premiere labs (the 2013 January Screenwriters Lab and 2013 June Directors Lab respectively). With Halley cinematographer Matias Penachino on board, production was completed in April and in it’s unfinished form, Zeus was presented this past October as part of the 13th Morelia Int’l Film Festival in the works-in-progress showcase.
