For over fifteen years, Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky have collaborated to push the art of nonfiction filmmaking to new heights. Though their work is often visually stunning, it’s their natural ability to connect with their subjects and their surefooted storytelling that has made films like Brother’s Keeper and Paradise Lost classics of the genre. With their latest work Metallica: Some Kind of Monster… they continue to experiment with new ways of telling true stories. What’s more, their movies have changed the world, bringing worldwide attention to the plight of three teenagers unjustly accused of a horrific crime. Their clarity of vision and their willingness to give voice to difficult truths makes them the perfect candidates to receive the first annual True Vision Award for advancement of the art of nonfiction filmmaking. Congratulations Joe and Bruce, and thank you for sharing your vision with the world. (DW)
