Oscar-winning filmmaker Ron Howard has made his most personal documentary yet with 'Rebuilding Paradise' and landed his first slot at the Sundance Film Festival.

Ron Howard has already dealt with fire, lots of it. And he’s made documentaries, more than one. But this time it was different. This time it was personal. This time it was for real.

“We’ve grown numb to images of devastation, but when you are close to the people affected, you think of it on a more human level,” said the Oscar-winning filmmaker about the motivation behind the project that turned into his first Sundance appearance.Talking to his assistant when the fire broke out on Nov. 8, 2018, Howard had the title “Rebuilding Paradise” pop into his head almost immediately.

I wanted to cover something where I had no idea what the story would be, to find out what happens after the cameras leave and the spotlight is turned off.“My film on Jay-Z [‘Made in America’] was behind the scenes, the Beatles [‘Eight Days a Week’] and Luciano Pavarotti [‘Pavarotti'] were mostly archival biographies, but this would be my first vérité documentary,” he says.

I do love his movies, and he seems like one of the few genuine people in Hollyweird. Oh, and his daughter BryceDallasHoward is a joy, in particular when she's on interviews..Amazing sense of humor and laugh.

By believing Jussie Smollett and denouncing imaginary Windy City racists as a scourge upon our land?

CommyCali is reaping what they have sown. Reap it California ~ Reap it.

He was most willing to make it about climate change than anyone else

He's one of the good guys and a fine filmmaker but I think he embodies a certain obsolete American mindset when it comes to art. Guys like himself, a lot of the big name writers and artists, they're all very conservative. Too accepting of corporate logic.

Ron Howard has turned into a bucko

Perhaps Fonzie...heyyy!

is the answer money
