Writer/Producer/Director Theodore Melfi has a different take than those who think independent filmmaking is becoming an endangered species, and in fact he tells me right now we are in “a golden age of independent film”. That may be one of the reasons he is bullish about both films he has at this week’s Tribeca Festival in New York City – independently produced movies he is helping shepherd along. On Corner Office which stars Jon Hamm he is an Executive Producer, and on American Dreamer he is the screenwriter as well as a producer of the comedy that stars Peter Dinklage, Shirley MacLaine, and Matt Dillon. Both are for sale and the bottom line is Melfi truly believes the audience will dictate whatever the perfect form of distribution is, whether it be theatrical, streaming, digital VOD, or a combination of all three.
As a director Melfi has had experience on every level so far in finding great success with the kind of indie-centric character driven movies he has his name on, each taking their own path to finding an audience. In the case of the much acclaimed 2014 Bill Murray starring St. Vincent, as well as 2016’s award winning and Best Picture Oscar nominated Hidden Figures, it was first with a film festival splash at Toronto and then significant theatrical releases. With last year’s The Starling it was with Netflix, after the streamer picked up the completed film. Melfi felt good about the results all three got, and even though his Tribeca pair are not films he personally directed, he is equally invested in making sure they find the right home, targeting Tribeca to lead the way. In fact no one , buyers, critics, or audience had seen American Dreamer until its actual debut Saturday night in front of a packed house. And

“American Dreamer” is a mess of a movie, in which scenes of startling wit and emotional truth co-exist alongside entire subplots that are utterly inexplicable. It’s all over the damn place; its good ideas in near equal proportion to its bad ones, feeling less like a polished production than a filmed first draft, released as a rough assembly.
The horrors of opioid addiction, greed, corporate interests, and the exploitation of the drug and patients are nothing new, and shows like “Dopesick” have done a great job of putting the epidemic in a great cultural, capitalistic and political context. But a new true-crime documentary, “American Pain” is showing one specific slice of the story that’s almost too unbelievable to believe.
