#Sundance - Films to look out for in 2012

Keep the Lights On

Fans of last year’s acclaimed should be interesed in Keep The Lights On, the autobiographically inspired drama, written by Sachs and Mauricio Zacharias about two New York men who meet in the late nineties and carry on an intense, decade-long bad romance. Late New York City musician Arthur Russell provided the score for the film. Sachs collaborated with Russell’s estate to compile the score for Keep the Lights On from much of the musician’s undiscovered work. Sachs is no stranger to Sundance. He last co-wrote and directed Forty Shades of Blue, which won the dramatic grand jury prize at the Sundance fest in 2005.
