Filmmaker David Lowery on “Ain’t Them Body Saints”, Sundance 2013 & the Power of Persistence

by David Lowery on February 14, 2013

In the days and weeks leading up to our film’s premiere at Sundance, I pulled from the shelf my dog-eared copy of Steven Soderbergh’s sex lies and videotape diary, which I’d purchased from a second-hand bookstore my sophomore year in high school and devoured (along with the screenplay included therein) before …
