true-life

One can see a ride inspired by Disney’s “True-Life Adventures” on the right side of the park.

Levinson animates many of Costello’s monologues about his life and work with a blend of archival and faux-archival photographs and footage, creating snapshots of history as a nod to the authenticity of this true-life tale.

Meanwhile, Justin Lin returned to Sundance with “Last Days,” his sensationalized dramatization of true-life travel turned tragic parable.

Readers will also end up in Orange County, rural Texas and Nicaragua as Mathews captivates with stories inspired by his observations and true-life experiences rubbing elbows with an eclectic array of Hollywoodland denizens.

Other early standouts include Brazil’s true-life period drama ‘I’m Still Here’ and Germany’s Iran-set ‘The Seed of the Sacred Fig.’
