"Racing Dreams" Finds Standing Ovation; Buyer Interest

"Racing Dreams" director Marshall Curry (second from right), exec producers Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (left), Dany Garcia (left of Curry), and Bristol Baughan (right of Curry), as well the subjects of the doc (from left: Annabeth Barnes, Brandon Warren, Josh Hobson), celebrated the film's premiere in Tribeca yesterday. "Dreams" is about kids who compete for the World Karting Association's national championship, a huge stepping stone to auto racing's big show—NASCAR. The film screened to a five minute standing ovation at the end of film. Execs from Fox Searchlight, Magnolia, and Sheila Nevins from HBO were all in the audience. (photo credit: Ted Chen).
