WINNER
2014 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL AUDIENCE AWARD
FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE FILM
During the summer of 2013, Kwyn was introduced to a viral YouTube clip with 8 million views from a WIP documentary called Alive Inside. Watching the moving portrait of Alzheimer’s patients re-discovering their memories through personalized music playlists, Kwyn was overwhelmed by his visceral emotional reaction. Seeking out the first time filmmaker, Michael Rosatto-Bennett, he offered his assistance on the feature and helped reform the story structure, re-write the narration and enable the film to lock its final cut. The result was a Best Picture award at Sundance for a truly beautiful film.
“I had so much fun working with Kwyn. He sees the truth of what a film wants to be, shines his light and wisdom on the story and pushes you to achieve the highest level of professionalism while insisting you stay true to who you are as a filmmaker.”
Michael Rossato-Bennett, Director of Alive Inside
