Elevator Pitch: Most of us are familiar with Civil War and World War II reenactments. These wars were long enough ago that they evoke a certain nostalgia and even romance. But what would compel someone to reenact a more recent, morally ambiguous and unpopular war? What would compel someone to reenact Vietnam? Production Team: Co-Directors: Mike Attie & Meghan O'Hara Director of Photography: Mike Attie About the Production: "As children growing up in the 70/80s, we felt the impact of the Vietnam War all around us. We had relatives who enlisted to go to Vietnam,...

This past weekend at the Camden International Film Festival, Mike Attie and Meghan O'Hara's pitch for their Vietnam War reenactor film "In Country," came out as the Points North Pitch winner. The pair's film was up against seven other projects, including Ben Niles' "Some Kind of Spark," which won Indiewire and Ciff's Project of the Week contest this September. After expanding the Pitch contest to documentary filmmakers from across the U.S. (previously, the Pitch was only open to projects from New England-based filmmakers), Points North Producer Sean Flynn said the number of applicants doubled. Attie, in fact, is from Seattle, and O'Hara is based in San Francisco. While there are quite a few other pitch contests (Toronto's Hot Docs Forum hosts a pitch contest; Britdoc and the Sundance Institute Documentary Program host the roaming issue doc pitch program Good Pitch), Camden's Points North Pitch Contest may...

- It was a night of multiple winners instead of winners with multiple wins at the 17th annual Gotham awards - where the Ifp recognize the best in independent filmmaking through 6 simple award categories. With only Todd Haynes' Dylan project as a possible threat, it was perhaps an easy win for Sean Penn's Into the Wild. And thought Craig Zobel got shut out in two categories, the director was rewarded with the Breakthrough director award. Michael Moore's popularity has not diminished as he picked up documentary film award of the year (evidently for Sicko) and Reitman's Juno continued its rise in popularity with Ellen Page picking up breakthrough actor award over Emile Hirsch's perf in Into the Wild.
