Following the screening of their new film, Sugar, at the recent Bahamas International Film Festival, I had the good fortune to spend some time with Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, the acclaimed moviemaking team behind Half Nelson. While we spoke outside the theater in the gentle Bahamian night air, we saw a rat nosing through an old popcorn tub. It occurred to me that its presence in this unpretentious, un-touristed sliver of Nassau was a strikingly real contrast to the opulent, resort-based festival we were attending, and somehow it all seemed very appropriate.
