Welcome to day four of our Sundance/Slamdance Film Festival coverage! Today we're getting to know two Slamdance documentaries that tell the story of overlooked or abandoned American towns- Cisco Kid and Motel Drive. Joined as always by our Park City co-host and honorary bitch, John Wildman of FilmsGoneWild.com.
In Cisco Kid, we meet Eileen, who is living alone among the remnants of a deserted ghost town in Cisco, Utah. Director Emily Kaye Allen shares how she met and gained the trust of Eileen, and how making this film helped her spend more time in nature and see the beauty in being away from mainstream society.
Motel Drive is a documentary about an infamous strip of motels in Fresno, California, and a family struggling to survive among its rapid decline. Director Brendan Geraghty explains why he decided to make this film, the struggles of an indie filmmaker budget, how his main subjects have become a part of his family and and composer Zach Wright chats with us about finding the right sound to help move this documentary along.
