On November 1, the 2018 IndieWire Honors ceremony will celebrate eight filmmakers and actors for their achievement in creative independence. We’re showcasing their work with new interviews and tributes from their peers this week.
When you’ve been around this film industry as long as I have, when you see new voices — new visions — you get so excited. I saw Ryan Coogler’s “Fruitvale Station” when it first came out in 2013. I was interested in seeing this small independent movie produced and shepherded by Forest Whitaker, who has excellent taste, along with the work of a young filmmaker dealing with important historic subject matter. I loved it and thought it was a story well told.
And along comes “Creed,” which was a great indicator of what Ryan would do in the future. Attending the “Creed” premiere was an opportunity to support and meet this young man whose work so impressed me.
