For their work on the Sundance-favorite heist movie, American
Animals, director Bart Layton was awarded “Debut Screenwriter,” and
Nick Fenton, Julian Hart and Chris Gill won the award for “Best
Editing.” Separately, American Animals has also scored a “Best
Editing” nomination for the Independent Spirit Awards — an annual
celebration honoring artist-driven films made by filmmakers whose
projects embody independence and originality. The film was
distributed in collaboration with The Orchard, a pioneering global
independent film, TV and music distribution company. The 34th
Independent Spirit Awards will take place on February 23, 2019.
Alongside American Animals, John David Washington from MoviePass
Films’ Monsters and Men has received an Independent Spirit Awards
nomination for “Best Supporting Male Actor.” MoviePass Films
partnered with NEON Rated LLC, a notable independent film
distributor, to acquire and co-release Monsters and Men. This
nomination comes after Monsters and Men director Reinaldo Marcus
Green was awarded the Sundance U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for
Outstanding First Feature. It is a topical film that addresses the
tense, nuanced relationship between the police force and minority
communities through the lens of three distinct protagonists, all
grappling with the issues at hand in their own ways.
“We are honored to have won two categories in this year’s
British Independent Film Awards and for two MoviePass movies to be
nominated for Independent Spirit Awards,” said Ted Farnsworth,
Chairman/CEO of Helios and Matheson. “MoviePass Films has enabled
us to directly invest in movies we believe in and contribute
holistically to the movie ecosystem. It is incredible to see the
same appreciation and support for our independent films
reciprocated through these awards and nominations.”
