Theodore Thomas, son of the late Walt Disney Studios animator Frank Thomas (1912-2004) and director of the acclaimed 1995 documentary FRANK AND OLLIE, helms this second foray into Disney history, WALT & EL GRUPO (2007). The subject this time lies somewhat outside the boundaries of Disney animation and rests on an unusual footnote: in 1941, Walt Disney personally led a “goodwill tour” and research expedition of South America, with a team of animators in tow whom he collectively christened “El Grupo.” The voyage transcended passing personal interest on the part of the animators; its residual effects can be seen in several Latin-themed Disney projects — notably, SALUDOS AMIGOS (1942) and THE THREE CABALLEROS (1945), both of which won Oscars, and other efforts designed to support the Good Neighbor Policy of the United States. With WALT & EL GRUPO, Theodore Thomas and his wife, Kuniko Okubo, combine rare, unseen 16 mm home movie footage of the original trip (held in the Disney vaults for years) with footage from their own trip through South America that retraces the Disney animators’ original journey — contrasting 1941 footage with glimpses of the same locales, shot 60 years later. On the soundtrack, Thomas and Okubo overlay reminiscences by the original travelers, taken from journals and letters and read by family members.

A woman struggling with a number of emotional demons tries to make sense of her life in this independent drama from writer and director Ry Russo-Young. Shelly Brown (Stella Schnabel) is the 23-year-old daughter of a woman with a long history of mental illness. Shelly has unfortunately inherited some of her mother’s instability, and the narrative follows her after she’s released from a brief stay in a mental hospital. Shelly dreams of a career as an actress, but at auditions she delivers readings that are intense enough to scare off most casting directors. Shelly wants to bond with other young women in the arts, but her paranoia and multiple insecurities make her a difficult friend at best and few of her peers are willing to bother. And while Shelly thinks she’s ready for a relationship, the manner in which she approaches men tends to result in rejections or one-night stands. YOU WON’T MISS ME received its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
