Description: As SPEAKproductions, Cory Krueckeberg and Tom Gustafson have made 7 feature and short films which have won more than 60 awards while playing over 250 Film Festivals around the world. Their debut feature, the celebrated musical fantasy WERE the WORLD MINE, played 140 festivals and opened theatrically in 30 cities becoming a cult indie hit. Stephen Holden of the New York Times chose it as “Critics’ Pick” calling it “Movie Musical Magic.” Their second feature, MARIACHI GRINGO (with Mexican star Martha Higareda, Shawn Ashmore, Grammy Winner Lila Downs and Oscar Nominee Adriana Barraza), premiered as the Opening Night film at the Miami Int’l Film Festival and won the top prize at Latin America’s premiere film festival in Guadalajara. About it, the New York Times proclaimed, “¡Hurra! Mariachi Gringo is right on pitch.” And about their screen adaptation of celebrated Off-Broadway musical, HELLO AGAIN (starring Audra McDonald, Cheyenne Jackson, Martha Plimpton and more), The New York Times decided, “The movie musical needs more ambitious creators like this.” At the 37th Cleveland International Film Festival, both were honored as "Someone to Watch" with a retrospective of their work, including GETTING GO, an experimental hybrid of narrative, art film and documentary which Parade magazine called “the steamiest movie on Amazon Prime.” Their Indigo Girls-infused musical romance, GLITTER & DOOM (Tig Notaro, Missi Pyle, Ming Na Wen, Lea DeLaria) premiered as the Closing Night Film of Inside Out Toronto Film Festival. About it the Chicago Reader called the “irresistible love story” “sparkling perfection.”
