The latest release from Carnivalesque Films, the DVD initiative spearheaded by filmmakers David Redmon and Ashley Sabin, hits stores (and Amazon, etc) today. It’s Orphans, Ry Russo-Young’s debut feature, which premiered and won a Jury Prize at the SXSW Film Festival in 2006. It’s a family horror film of sorts, about two estranged sisters who get together for one weekend of boozy recollection and reconnection gone wrong. I’ve written about the film briefly before; you can see also a conversation with Russo-Young and Tom Hall, and a crazy in-depth “breakdown” of Orphans by Ry and Noralil Ryan Fores. The trailer is above. Also: last week Brandon talked to Ry about Fassbinder and her latent desire to make a film with Amy Winehouse.
