'Whiplash' Raih 2 Penghargaan Tertinggi di Sundance Film Festival 2014

Jakarta - 'Whisplash' menikmati kemenangan ganda pada perhelatan Sundance Film Festival tahun ini. Film yng bercerita tentang perjuangan musisi muda untuk menjadi drummer jazz top itu menang Grand Jury Dramatic dan Audience Award U.S. Dramatic.

Pencapaian yang dirih 'Whisplash' mengulangi rekor yang dicetak 'Fruitvale Station' tahun lalu. Selain menang besar karena meraih dua penghargaan tertinggi, hak distribusi film yang dibintangi Miles Teller itu juga telah dibeli Sony Pictures Calssics.

"Aku ingat pertama kali pengalamanku di sini melalui film pendek, dan alasan keseluruhan kami membuat film pendek karena pengalamanku secagai drummer," ujar sutradara Damien Chazelle sebelum kemudian menambahkan dengan bercanda, "Tak ada yang ingin mendanai film ini karena tak ada yang mau membuat film tentang drummer jazz, mengejutkan."
