For '30/30 Vision,' Strand Releasing gathered a diverse slate of filmmakers to celebrate their contributions to global and LGBTQ cinema.
Longevity distinguishes American art-house institution Strand Releasing from countless other independent film distributors that have fallen by the wayside since its inception in 1989.
Proud of this momentous anniversary, the company, famously named after San Francisco’s Strand Theater, recruited Canadian actor and filmmaker Connor Jessup to oversee the production of “30/30 Vision: Three Decades of Strand Releasing,” a collection of 30 commissioned short films shot on iPhones, courtesy of Apple, by storytellers at the vanguard of the medium — most of whom have inextricable ties to Strand.
Strand has fostered a brand that defies easy classification, yet it’s always associated with boldness. There’s no formula to acquiring out-of-the-box narratives, but for the cofounders it’s their love for the merits of a feature more than financial viability that informs their choices.“We look for films that have something to say and that have a director’s vision,” Gerrans told The Times.
