TOURING NOMADLAND
Lots of new stuff about Nomaldand as it nears its release date tomorrow.
First, a new profile from Vulture on director/writer and more Chloe Zhao. That's linked here.
SlashFilm also looks at Zhao and reports that she has become the most awarded single film maker of any award season (and there's still a ways to go!). That analysis is linked here.
And Time digs in on the real people and stories as well as the book by Jessica Bruder that formed the basis for the film. That article can be accessed here.
