Low Budget Film About John Hughes Gets Distributor
Tue, 11 Aug 2009
A docu-film about the late director John Hughes will be released internationally. The low-budgeted "Don't You Forget About Me" has nabbed a distributorship shortly after the filmmaker's death last week. Variety said that the film has been acquired by the Alliance Films of Montreal after Hughes' death Thursday. The film, made without public funding, is a 75-minute road trip search for the reclusive filmmaker. Austin-Sadowski and producers Kari Hollend, Mike Facciolo and Lenny panzer drive to Illinois to try to find the mastermind behind teen cult classics such as "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," "The Breakfast Club," and "Pretty in Pink." It includes interviews with Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Mia Sara, Kelly LeBrock, and Andrew McCarthy. Austin-Sadowski, who starred in the children's action series "Power Rangers: SPD," said that though he is thrilled that his film is now getting attention, it's a bittersweet feeling because it took Hughes' death to spark the interest. He hopes that the attention in the film would translate into renewed interest in Hughes' films. Hughes died of a heart attack on August 6.
