“In the last year, Sundance Channel has found itself in the white-hot spotlight normally reserved for AMC, thanks to a slew of high-profile and critically acclaimed shows, like the gripping paraplegic unscripted series PUSH GIRLS, Jane Campion’s haunting mystery drama TOP OF THE LAKE, and now RECTIFY.”
Jace Lacob of The Daily Beast | Sundance Channel’s RECTIFY is the Best New Show of 2013
The trailer for THE WAY WAY BACK looks great. I was bummed to miss it at Sundance this year. But getting to riff with Nat Faxon and Jim Rash about Robert Redford and brunch for 15 minutes to shoot this partially made up for it.
Today only - Sundance Channel is sneak previewing the two-hour premiere of RECTIFY, the new series from the producers of BREAKING BAD, on sundancechannel.com. Have at it.
“What they said to us when we started this project was ‘what we want is your voice… be as outrageous as you want to… don’t hold back.’ I was like, ‘what’?? It was a very different and provocative education. I think quite clearly independent cinema is struggling. It’s difficult to get people out to the cinemas. And there’s not a lot of art house cinemas around, at least compared to when I started making films. They used to be about where you went to find out about life and have different voices talking to you in an intimate and interesting way. I don’t think that’s really happening now. People are trying to second guess what an audience wants. Occasionally maybe two or three films a year will be truly innovative. But most of them try and second guess the audience.”
Writer Director Jane Campion on TOP OF THE LAKE and the Great Movie-to-TV Migration
Insightful take on TOP OF THE LAKE from The Daily Beast’s Jace Lacob.
I’m very excited for audiences to see TOP OF THE LAKE, which premieres Monday, March 18th, at 9pm on Sundance Channel. Written and directed by Academy Award winner Jane Campion, and starring MAD MEN’s Elisabeth Moss, Holly Hunter and Peter Mullan, TOTL (as we call it around the office) is an epic crime drama mini-series that sticks with you long after the last frame. This is a behind-the-scenes first look that I produced for the launch.
