"Each year as part of the Festival we recognize talented performers and directors who have demonstrated early mastery of their craft with the Emerging Master Award. Filmmaker Debra Granik and actress Melanie Lynskey will be honored with the award at this year's Festival at two separate tribute ceremonies, each including an on-stage moderated conversation with honorees and a film clip overview of their accomplished careers, with a short Q&A session following. Tickets for each event are $12 and are available at the main Festival box office at the Stevens Center.
Debra Granik is an Oscar-nominated independent director and writer. She is best known for her Academy Award® nominated work on Winter's Bone (2010) starring Jennifer Lawrence. The tribute ceremony for Granik will be held on April 10 at 5pm in the UNCSA Babcock Theater.
New Zealand native Melanie Lynskey first gained widespread international attention when she starred in Peter Jackson's Academy Award® nominated Heavenly Creatures. She has held leading and scene-stealing turns in many films, such as Thomas McCarthy's critically lauded (and RiverRun '12 Opening Night film) Win Win and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The tribute ceremony for Lynskey will be held Saturday, April 12, at 4:30pm and will be moderated by Winston-Salem native Angus MacLachlan, who directed Lynskey in his debut directorial feature Goodbye to All That, which will premiere next month at the Tribeca Film Festival.
RiverRun Pitch Fest and Panel Discussions
While we celebrate the best in emerging talents and established masters in filmmaking, we also have a reverence for the past and like to set our sights on the future.
