Episode 29 of One Week Only! This week, our key film is "Other People," the Opening Night film at this year's Sundance Film Festival. It's the story of a struggling writer who moves back home to care for his cancer-stricken Mom, and it balances a delicate tone of sharp, hilarious character humor and heartbreaking family drama. Written & Directed by Chris Kelly and starring Jesse Plemons & Molly Shannon, it is now in theatres & on VOD, from Vertical Entertainment.

Another film this week is the fascinating documentary "Author: The JT Leroy Story," and we have an interview with director Jeff Feuerzeig about getting to interview the real JT Leroy, Laura Albert, and dealing with the legal challenges surrounding a major literary hoax.

Our other films this week are the Polish horror film "Demon" by Marcin Wrona; religious comedy "The Apostate" by Frederico Veiroj; inspiring documentary "Landfill Harmonic" about the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, by Brad Allgood & Graham Townsley; and Tunisian drama "As I Open My Eyes," set on the eve of the Arab Spring, by Leyla Bouzid.

Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.imcompetech.com
