More from Sundance '06:
Sundance Spectrum filmmaker
Tanuj Chopra (left), director of "
Punching at the Sun" was a pleasure to meet and delightfully honest about not being used to dealing with the press and the nuances of the festival circuit. His film is about a "fiery South Asian teen who struggles to find a path between rage and redemption on the streets of Elmhurst, Queens" in the aftermath of 9/11 and his older brother's murder. Pictured with Chopra in Park City are "Punching at the Sun" cast members,
Misu Khan,
Nina Edmonds and
Hassan El-Gendi.
