Kurt Kuenne, the director of Drive-In Movie Memories, a 2001 documentary that paid homage to Texas as much as it honored the elegiac spirit of drive-in cinema, may be on the verge of something big. He's the writer, composer and director of Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father, which recently earned standing ovations at the South by Southwest film festival in Austin. Dear Zachary, Mr. Kuenne's tribute to his best friend, Dr. Andrew Bagby, who was killed in November 2001, just received rave reviews in Toronto, where it was shown at the Hot Docs International Documentary Film Festival. It's fitting that such accolades occurred in Canada, because the Canadian justice system is at the heart of the story. It would be wrong to say much more about Dear Zachary, whose spellbinding power comes in not knowing the details before you see it.
