Another Best Documentary Win For the Monarch Movie
This crazy ride continues to exceed expectations.I’m once again humbled to share that my documentary, Your Cinema Needs You has picked up a few more selections and awards on its ongoing international film festival tour this summer.Last month the feature-length film was awarded Best Documentary in the feature-length category at the 2024 Edinburgh Film Awards, it made its way to Istanbul, Turkey for a selected screening, and just this week received its 12th Best Documentary nomination after being selected at the Detroit Independent Film Festival.Amid this good news, I was reminded that it was exactly one year ago that we formally announced the completion of the film. I never imagined that I’d still be talking about this documentary a year later with the wide release not having happened yet, but here we are.The long-delayed and surprise success of the premiere shows at the Monarch, followed by the (now) 7-month film festival tour, essentially turned this run into an entirely new project for 2024. It really has been an incredible journey to see this story spread, and I can’t express how thrilled I am that so many others have latched onto this doc in recognition of the grassroots power of indie cinema, and quite literally in this case, the importance of indie cinemas like the Monarch Theatre.Thank you all so much for all the support over this last year.
