John Hawkes Talks Working With First Time Feature Director Sean Durkin In 'Martha Marcy May Marlene'

However, it does represent a good chunk of what you might see at the Independent Spirit Awards later in the year and if anything, these nominations confirm that Fox Searchlight is going to have another banner year on the statu...
