"The Matador" Team Turns Out To Launch Film at SXSW

Gorgeous cinematograpy, stunning music and adroit editing are what make "The Matador" such a moving spectacle. At the film's SXSW world premiere, the talented craftsmen behind that work will turn out in force.

From London, cinematographer James Morton-Haworth will come to Austin, fresh from directing documentaries for the BBC. "The Matador's" other cinematographer, Christopher Jenkins, is coming to Texas from southern California, where he's been producing HD concert films for some of the world's top musicians. Production Manager Algor Lieman is coming in from Kenya, where he's been working on another documentary.

Ian Rummer, whose editing prowess and story-telling mastery gave life to the material, will come from Washington D.C., where he is editing for Team Sound & Vision.

And John Califra, the composer whose brilliant and deeply-felt score resonate so powerfully in the film, will travel from New York City to join the rest of the team in officially welcoming "The Matador" into the world.

These craftspeople will join filmmakers Stephen Higgins and Nina Gilden Seavey, and Executive Producers Scott Dunklee and Kristie Nova, at the premiere and other events.
