Racing Dreams (2009, Marshall Curry)
I just think Marshall Curry is a brilliant and smart filmmaker. I saw this in Missoula, Montana, this tiny town where David Lynch is from, at the Big Sky documentary film festival. I don't normally like these contest films, but I remember crying my heart out in a faded red velvet seat in Montana. It had an impact on me, and I have since met Marshall Curry, and his approach to filmmaking is from the heart – he makes smart and clever choices, but it is always from the heart. It is a racing film, but it is really about teenagers falling in love. And who doesn't want to see that?
