Dartmouth alumni pooled talents in two new films highly acclaimed:Sunday and I Love You, Don't Touch Me!

Sunday, Jonathan Nossiter '84's film about a struggling actress who mistakes a homeless man for a famous dim. tor was released nation wide in August. I he film won the grand jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival and was an "official selection" at Cannes, where Nossiter signed a deal with Fox Searchlight, an independent division of 20th Century Fox, for his next project, a psychological thriller set in Greece.

Nossiter, who lives in New York City, called on many Dartmouth friends when it came to making Sunday. "When making a film, you're better off with people you know and trust and respect," he says. Chris Wise '83 designed Sunday's tide. Alix Madigan'84 was an assistant producer, and Nossiter's freshman-year roommate, Gus Rogerson '84. was the associate producer. It wasn't Rogerson's first time working with an alum. He says his big break came when play director jerry Zaks '67 hired him as an actor in Six Degrees of Separation.

Madigan, who currently runs the production deals at Propaganda Film, says alumni owe a debt to Dartmouth. For that reason she promises alumni a connection in the industry. Perhaps as partial payback, Nossiter's team had one of the lead actors in Sunday wear a Dartmouth sweatshirt. '

In I Love Yon, Don Me, writer and director Julie Davis'90 tells the tale of a hopelessly romantic 25-year-old virgin whose friend is getting married. The movie premiered at sundance and opens nationally this winter, she says. Davis, whose work has been compared to WoodyA llen's, has surrounded

herself with Dartmouth alumni in L.A. Jenny Bransford '90 was the featured actress in Davis's first major directing debut, Witchcraft VI, and helped her with casting for I Love You which included roles for Andy Camp'89 and Brad Drazen'90.

Currently Davis is writing a script for her next film, a comedy that centers around a young Dartmouth graduate looking for a job. Any film studies grads looking for work?
