Filmmaker Kurt Kuenne, who directed the heavily Texas-flavored Drive-In Movie Memories in 2001, has some exciting news about his latest project, Dear Zachary, a documentary that had people weeping openly at the South by Southwest film festival in Austin earlier this year. Dear Zachary has been acquired by the MSNBC cable network as the debut film for its newly formed MSNBC Films division, which Mr. Kuenne describes as "a platform through which they will be presenting provocative and award-winning films on television, while also supporting films during their festival run and theatrical release."

Dear Zachary will have its North American television premiere on MSNBC later this fall after "a theatrical release that is currently being negotiated and which I hope to be able to announce in the next month," says Mr. Kuenne. It will, however, play in theaters in New York and Los Angeles during August. It must do so by August 31 to qualify for Academy Awards consideration. Look for this one as a serious Best Documentary contender at the Oscars ceremony in early 2009.
