'Water and Power' goes to Sundance
Well, in a manner of speaking. Richard Montoya of Culture Clash has been named an Annenberg Film Fellow at the Sundance Institute to work on the film version of the group's popular (and hilarious) show "Water and Power." It's about two Chicano brothers, one an LAPD cop and the other a politician, "reckoning with the reality of what their hard-earned influence has wrought." The stage version is full of Los Angeles political and cultural references that may or may not translate to a film aimed at a wider audience, but it would be interesting to see. Montoya is a cultural affairs commissioner for Mayor Villaraigosa. Montoya spoke last year to Jenny Burman at Chicken Corner, and Denise Hamilton caught "Water and Power" at the Taper.
