American Teen Sells at Sundance--Backstory at Camera Planet

Nanette Burstein’s doc. American Teen sold at Sundance, finally, to Paramount Vantage for $1 million.

This project started in 2003, and there’s been quite a bit of wrangling along the way, if the Camera Planet files are to be believed. Burstein wrote:

American Teen is an idea I created and have developed for years, long before I met anyone from Camera Planet. Two years ago, Steve Carlis was asking what kind of projects I was developing to see if he could help me get the financing.
