The Oscar-nominated filmmaking team behind the documentary Time are looking forward to a reunion at Union Station in Los Angeles, the main venue for this year’s Academy Awards. Director-producer Garrett Bradley and producers Lauren Domino and Kellen Quinn haven’t seen each other in person for a while, because of Covid-19.
“I am really excited because these are two of my best friends in the whole world and we have not all been in a room together since we premiered this film,” Domino tells Deadline. “So it’s like a beautiful universe-full-circle of us being together and celebrating this achievement, celebrating each other.”
It’s the first Oscar nomination for all three. Domino and Bradley have collaborated on several short films previously, including Bradley’s Oscar-shortlisted 2017 short film, Alone. The two first met through the New Orleans chapter of Film Fatales, a nonprofit organization for women filmmakers.

Time’s Garrett Bradley is vying to become the first African-American woman recognized with an Oscar for directing a feature documentary.
“This is profound and not something that I take for granted,” Bradley said at Deadline’s Contenders Film: The Nominees virtual awards-season event. “I don’t think of it as something that is solely for myself. We are part of a collective. We stand on the shoulders of many other Black women who’ve come before us and there will be many, many after, hopefully, as well.”
Bradley’s film, from Amazon Studios, tells the story of Fox Rich, a Louisiana woman who raised six sons while simultaneously fighting for the release of her incarcerated husband, a first-time offender who received a draconian sentence of 60 years in prison for armed robbery. The title Time plays on different levels, gesturing toward “doing time” behind bars and the slow passage of...

“Time,” Garrett Bradley‘s Oscar-nominated documentary on Amazon Prime, was never meant to be a feature-length film. The filmmaker originally conceived “Time” as 13-minute companion short film to her 2017 op-doc short “Alone,” which follows a woman whose fiancé is incarcerated. For “Time,” Bradley met Sibil Fox Richardson, known as Fox Rich, whose husband Rob Rich was serving a 60-year prison sentence, and then got a gift on the last day of filming.
“It wasn’t until our last day of making this short that [Rich] handed me what ended up being 100 hours of her home personal archive, which really forced myself and Gabe Rhodes, who cut the film, to radically rethink what we were making and how it was going to exist, in addition to it obviously being longer,” Bradley explains during Gold Derby’s Meet the Btl Experts: Documentary panel (watch above). “She handed me this little black bag that...

The International Documentary Association’s annual awards is usually a bustling get-together for the film and television non-fiction community. The 36th iteration was the usual pandemic-era virtual version, sans networking, but with returning host Willie Garson. “This past year has not been normal in any way,” said outgoing IDA executive director Simon Kilmurry. “If 2020/2021 has shown us anything, it’s that even with all the challenges we face and the grief we’ve had, the work of storytellers is essential.”
At the end of the streamlined affair, Nicole Newnham and Jim LeBrecht’s “Crip Camp” (Netflix) took home both the Best Feature Award and ABC News VideoSource Award. “It’s one of the major civil rights stories of American history that had been forgotten,” said Newnham.
LeBrecht thanked Sundance for its support, as well as Camp Jened, he said: “My life set a course when I went there. You are all responsible,...
