Though Steve James' new documentary, Stevie, is being
touted as the "long awaited follow-up" to his 1994 film, Hoop
Dreams, the past nine years have not been idle ones. After
the triumphant success of Hoop Dreams, he went on to
direct three feature films—Passing Glory, Prefontaine
and Joe & Max. This spring he makes his return
to the documentary genre with the very personal Stevie,
which won the Best Documentary Cinematography award at
Sundance, and which will be released by Lions Gate on March
28th.
