Sky’s the limit: Missoula documentary film festival gets bigger, better

Recently, Big Sky Documentary Film Festival http://www.bigskyfilmfest.org/ director Mike Steinberg received a phone call from filmmaker Robert Drew. You might not recognize Drew’s name; but to a documentary aficionado like Steinberg, there are few bigger names in America.

"He’s really the grandfather of the modern American documentary," said Steinberg. "He’s huge."

Drew, whose landmark 1960 film, "Primary," is often cited as the first important work of the so-called "cinéma vérité" (literally, "truthful cinema") movement in America, was calling to ask if Steinberg might be interested in presenting the world theatrical premiere of his film, "The Sun Ship Game."
