Nonfiction Unlimited's Jessica Yu Returns to Sundance Film Festival with Documentary Short, "The Kinda Sutra"
Colorful, Mixed-Format Project Reflects Artistry of Numerous Top Commercial Industry Players
SANTA MONICA, CALIF. and NEW YORK--(Jan. 20, 2009)--Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Jessica Yu, who has been nominated for the Sundance Film Festival's prestigious Grand Jury Prize three times (for her feature documentaries "Protagonist," "In the Realms of the Unreal" and "Living Museum") returns to Park City for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival with a humorous documentary short entitled "The Kinda Sutra." A comical take-off on "The Kama Sutra," Yu's latest film combines interviews and animation to offer a tantalizing view of people's youthful misconceptions about conception. In competition within the festival's Documentary Shorts section, where it was one of over 5,600 submissions, the 8-minute film debuted on Sat., Jan. 17, and will continue to air in various venues throughout the festival. The official website for "The Kinda Sutra" is www.thekindasutra.com .
Produced by Nonfiction Unlimited, Jessica's directorial home for commercial projects, "The Kinda Sutra" represents a collaboration with many well-known commercial production industry companies and individuals, including Stardust Studios, Lost Planet Editorial and editor Kim Bica, and many others. The project's executive producer, Loretta Jeneski of Nonfiction, noted, "The idea all along was to bring together some great talent from the commercial industry to help realize Jessica's vision. From the beginning we knew we wanted to make something special and get it into Sundance. Everyone got behind that idea and put everything they had into making the project great enough to fulfill that very lofty goal."
