The 09 list is here and we’re VERY happy to see some familiar faces…and several emerging voices in the nonfiction world.  A big congrats to everyone selected, especially to Jessica Oreck, Michael Palmieri and Donal Mosher.  We were lucky enough to catch Oreck’s first feature, The Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo last March at SXSW and boy, what a cinematic treat!  Mosher’s and Palmieri’s film, October Country just took home the award of all awards at Silverdocs and continues to garner some serious buzz in the doc blogosphere.  Kudos to the True / False Film Festival for picking that one up early and for giving us the opportunity to see it as a “sneak preview.”  We’ll be talking lots more about these two films in months to come!

Big ups to all the other documentary filmmakers announced in this list including, Ian Olds (Fixer: The Taking of Ajmal Naqshbandi  – Acquired by HBO), Nicole Opper (Off and Running) and Jody Lee Lipes (Brock Enright: Good Times Will Never Be the Same)
