★ THE FLORIDA PRIZE ★ 2015 marks the inaugural year of the presentation of the annual award, THE FLORIDA PRIZE. In alternating years the award will be given to a Florida Film Pioneer (Victor Nunez in 2015) and an Emerging Florida Filmmaker on even years. VICTOR NUNEZ A member of the founding boards of the Independent Feature Project (IFP) and the Sundance Film Institute, Victor Nunez has been making Indy movies for over four decades. Born in Deland, Nunez received his degrees at Antioch College and University of California at Los Angeles and began his work in the 1970s on educational and industrial films while still managing to make three award winning shortsTaking Care of Mother Baldwin (1970), Charley Benson’s Return to the Sea (1972), and A Circle in the Fire (1974). His feature film debut was Gal Young’Un (1979), financed with grants from the NEA and the Florida Arts Council. Based on the short story by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, the movie is set in the Prohibition Era Florida and is about a widowed Florida woman, her new opportunistic bootlegger husband and his young girlfriend. Starring Dana Preu, the film was invited to the New York, Toronto, and London film fests as well as the Director’s Fortnight in Cannes. In the NY Times, Vincent Canby called it, “an astonishingly good first feature, written, directed, photographed, edited and produced by Victor Nunez...I know very little about Mr. Nunez except that he lives and works in Florida, but if he’s representative of our new regional film makers, things are looking up.” His next film was A Flash of Green (1984) adapted from a John D. MacDonald novel and financed by grants from the Rockefeller Foundation and PBS American Playhouse. Set in the early ‘60s along the Gulf Coast of Florida, A Flash of Green tells of a tormented reporter drawn into aiding a self-serving county commissioner in an underhanded landfill development. Starring Ed Harris, Blair Brown, and Richard Jordan, the film was shown at the NY and Toronto Film Festivals, Cannes and on PBS American Playhouse. Nunez used a windfall from a great-aunt to finance Ruby in Paradise (1993), which starred then-newcomer Ashley Judd playing a young woman fleeing a bad relationship in the back woods of Tennessee who ends up working in a souvenir shop in Panama City. Again the film was shown at the NY and Toronto Fests and Director’s Fortnight. The film jointly won the 1993 Grand Jury Prize for Drama at the Sundance Film Festival and was selected by Roger Ebert as one of his “Top Ten” films of the year. Ashley won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead for her performance. In 1997, Ulee’s Gold, produced through Jonathan Demme’s company, garnered Victor’s widest audience and earned star Peter Fonda the Golden Globe and NY Film Critics Award as well as an Oscar Nomination for Best Actor. Set in the tupelo honey-producing region of the Apalachicola River, Peter played a third-generation beekeeper with a host of personal problems. Praising the star and director in The NYTimes, Janet Maslin called the film, “beautiful and heartfelt, an oasis of humanity in a season of furious hyperbole. Simple almost to a fault and yet effortlessly wrenching, it shows nothing more than the spiritual reawakening of a hard-bitten loner. Yet the star and filmmaker make this story resonate in moving, meaningful ways.” Coastlines (2002) plays out a messy triangle between three childhood friends. Starring Josh Brolin, Tim Olyphant and Sarah Wynter. Nunez’s characters and stories have often been described as emotionally resonant, multi-layered character driven narratives. Emmanuel Levy, in his book “Cinema of Outsiders”, states “Integrating Florida’s unique landscape and spirit, Nunez’s fully realized drama represents American regional cinema at its very best. A quick sojourn in New Mexico as a “hired gun” directing Rubin Blades as a father dying of cancer in Spoken Word (2009), while a great adventure, did seem a long way from the Gulf Coast and left the question of “what next,” wide open. Victor Nunez was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2008, and his biography at Florida’s Division of Cultural Affairs states, “Victor Nunez has been called a national treasure of regional independent filmmaking. A visionary writer, director, cinematographer and producer, Nunez’s gripping work fuses character and place in portraits of his home state of Florida.” He is currently teaching directing at Florida State in his hometown of Tallahassee. “I don’t know what’s next, really. I’m not sure I recognize Florida anymore, but I am very grateful for this award. Perhaps it will inspire me to find my way back to my real Florida home one more time again.” Mr. Nunez will attend a FLaSH oF GReeN and receive The Florida Prize at The FLIFF Gala, Saturday, November 21. 36
