DCP Produced "Dana Never Had a Brother" Wraps Filming
As a creator, inspiration often strikes at the most random of times... sometimes, it manifests as one isolated sentence you leave in your notes app, waiting to be contextualized into existence. That's how Dana Never Had a Brother began. "Since college, I’ve kept a notes tab on my phone for stray inspiration— dreams I remembered, out-of-context sentences, random visuals I wanted to recreate someday," said Destinee McCaster, writer and director of Dana Never Had a Brother.

American Zoetrope's "Fairyland" Gets Theatrical Release
Directed by Andrew Durham and produced by Sofia Coppola, the film feels like a memory come to life: tender, imperfect, human. Set in 70s and 80s San Francisco, Fairyland follows young Alysia and her father Steve as they carve out a home in an increasingly unfamiliar world: from the city's bohemian freedom, to the heartbreak of the AIDS crisis. It's hard not to fall for the film's rhythm, the romanticism in the everyday moments between Alysia and Steve. The moments in the film are so immersive... Read more
