I met one of the neatest directors today at Sundance -- James C. Strouse. He is a great guy from a small town in Indiana and this shows through his film, Grace is Gone, starring John Cusack.
It is a touching movie about the loss of a loved one in Iraq and the father's relationship with his two young daughters. Audience members were crying through out and the director even said he cried during filming! I'm hoping this one will finally give Cusack the Oscar he so deserves.
(Here James is with his daughter too who was playing with sweetriot while he spoke! James was even excited to hear my sister was an extra while they filmed at Cypress Gardens in Florida.)
