Matt Tynauer’s doc Valentino: The Last Emperor (see our Toronto coverage here) has been scheduled for a NY premiere at Film Forum since December, but now indieWIRE is reporting that the film will have a further theatrical rollout via Magnolia’s Truly Indie asissted self-distribution model.

This is interesting timing, because in the context of a conversation about self-distribution the other day, somebody asked me if Truly Indie was still running, and I couldn’t remember the last film I knew for sure that they helped to release. When the Valentino news broke, I went on Truly Indie’s website, and saw that they have been involved recently with the release of films I’ve either covered (Boogie Man) or at least heard of (Lake City, starring Sissy Spacek). It’s interesting that some of these releases would make news and others wouldn’t — I don’t know what it means, exactly, but it’s interesting.
