Envision 2013: Opening night film Blood Brother highlighted by Filmmaker Magazine

by Justin Ferrato on April 4, 2013 in Crowdsourcing

BloodBrother

As this year’s Envision Conference approaches, the IFP is excited to screen Steve Hoover’s Sundance-winning documentary Blood Brothers at the DGA on opening night on April 10th. The film follows Rocky Braat, a former graphic designer who moved to India after meeting a group of HIV/AIDS orphans. Not only are the humanitarian aspects of the film compelling, but Hoover’s portrait of his friend shows a compassionate man with a need to give. Check out this in-depth post from Steve Hoover at Filmmaker Magazine, where he discusses the shooting process and Kickstarter campaign to post-production and partnerships.
