“Convention”

Director AJ Schnack (right) previewed about 25 minutes of the latest project he’s spearheading, “Convention,” over the weekend at the True/False Film Festival in Columbia, MO. The doc, which was filmed by a group of directors, takes a look at the ins and outs of the Democratic Convention which took place last summer in Denver, CO. The ambitious film is an ode to some of the earlier work of the Maysles brothers and Pennebaker, capturing a large swath of the tremendous undertaking of the convention in the city. Following the screening, Schnack, along with producer Britta Erickson (executive director of the Denver Film Festival), producer and editor Nate Truesdell (left) along with T/F co-head and filmmaker David Wilson (not pictured) answered questions and solicited comments from a large audience about the film, which is still in post-production.
