Don’t know if you’ve heard or not, but Sundance has worked out pretty well for us. Much to our delight, BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD has taken this tiny cinematic enclave in the middle of Mormonia by storm, so to speak. Volunteers loved it, then premierers loved it, then reviewers loved it, then Salt Lakers [...]

Here here, some big doings in Court 13-land! After 3 years toiling away trying to slay this giant, Court 13′s first feature film, “Beasts of the Southern Wild” will be premiering at the SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL IN JANUARY!!!

If Court 13 ever commandeers these spaces for any big event, hear us now: we [...]

Josh Ente held Court over our full-blown foray into Hotlanta, where he’s riding dirty on 85 + stretching our tentacles into the non-profit arts world. He showed a 50 minute program of Court 13 films and bantered with a local university film professor, and generally pretended like he knew what he was talking about. It [...]
