Space Thriller ‘Slingshot’, Little League Drama ‘You Gotta Believe’, Docs ‘Merchant Ivory’, ‘Seeking Mavis Beacon’ Topline Indie Weekend – Specialty Preview
'Slingshot' and 'You Gotta Believe' are top-lining the Labor Day weekend indie film lineup with documentaries 'Merchant Ivory' and 'Seeking Mavis Beacon'.
This group of underestimated youth baseball players from Fort Worth, Texas, dedicating their season to a teammate’s ailing father, runs all the way to the 2002 Little League World Series and a record-breaking showdown that became an instant ESPN classic. It’s the first definitive feature documentary to lend new and compelling perspectives on the partnership, both professional and personal, of director James Ivory, producer Ismail Merchant and their primary associates, writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and composer Richard Robbins. With six Oscar winners among the notable artists participating, these close and often long-term collaborators intimately detail the transformational cinematic creativity and personal and professional drama of the wandering company that left an indelible impact on film culture.
