Push: Based on the novel by Sapphire was the big winner at Sundance, taking both the Audience and Grand Jury Awards, as well as a Special Jury Prize for Mo’Nique, star of Unwatchable # 57: Phat Girlz. Well, good for her. The Grand Jury Prize for documentary went to We Live in Public, while the Audience Award for documentary went to The Cove.

Screenwriter John Rice (Blown Away, Windtalkers) will make his directorial debut with Stan’s Cup, “a comedy set in the world of old-timers' hockey. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the movie “centers on a broken-down, once-great hockey player who gets a chance to finally fill his legendary father's skates by giving his hometown, known as Hockeytown USA, a pseudo rematch of the 1980 ‘Miracle on Ice’ game against a Russian team of ex-Olympians.”
