Sundance '09: Jumping the gun
For independent filmmakers around the world, Thanksgiving week is the week of holding your breath.
Each one is waiting for the phone call confirming his or her film has made the slate of the Sundance Film Festival.
A couple of filmmakers have already received that call for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival - and were so excited that they broke festival rules and trumpeted the news on the Internet.
The blog for the movie "Stingray Sam" - which appears to be a space-cowboy musical by The Billy Nayer Show, the makers of 2001 Sundance entry "The American Astronaut" - announces that the movie will have its world premiere in Sundance '09's New Frontier program.
The movie blogs FilmDrunk and Quiet Earth both have the scoop that "Black Dynamite," an homage/parody of '70s blaxploitation movies starring Michael Jai White (who appeared in "The Dark Knight"), has made it into Sundance.
And the Philippine documentary "Isang Lahi: Pearls From The Orient" boasts on its web site that it will be screening at Sundance.

Black Dynamite! I've heard so much about the film in the last 8 months. I hope it lives up to the hype!
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the Sundance 09 list!
