All the Way from Michigan Not Mars
Matt Boyd
Rosie Thomas, Sufjan Stevens
A lyrical examination of indie songstress Rosie Thomas' quest for an expression of truth, combining songs of plaintive melancholy with sharp-witted banter and Sheila, her bizarre stand-up alter ego. Using intimate live performances with fellow songwriters Sufjan Stevens and Denison Witmer as a pathway, Mars is a meditative exploration of Thomas' unique brand of performance.

Danielson: A Family Movie (or, Make a Joyful Noise Here)
J.L. Aronson
Steve Albini, Brandon Ebel
"Danielson: a Family movie" is a documentary about unbridled creativity vs. accessibility, Christian faith vs. popular culture, underground music vs. survival, and family vs. individuality. The film follows Daniel Smith, an eccentric musician and visual artist, as he leads his four siblings and best friend to indie rock stardom, eventually facing the struggle to become viable as a solo act. Along the way he mentors an unknown singer-songwriter named Sufjan Stevens whose own subsequent success stands in stark contrast to the music world's uneasy reception of Danielson just a few years prior. Makes use of collage, direct cinema and animation. Written by Creative Arson
