The Baddest Speechwriter of All

MINNESOTA PREMIERE

Winner: 2026 Sundance Short Film Grand Jury Prize

Co-directed by two-time Academy Award winner Ben Proudfoot and NBA champion Stephen Curry, The Baddest Speechwriter of All introduces audiences to Clarence B. Jones, Martin Luther King Jr.’s attorney, adviser, and speechwriter. With humor, candor, and hard-earned wisdom, Jones reflects on the words he helped shape, the coalitions he helped build, and the personal cost of serving a movement that changed history. His story also illuminates the interracial and interfaith alliances at the heart of the Civil Rights Movement, including the essential role Jewish activists played in the struggle for racial justice.

The ASSET

MINNESOTA PREMIERE

“When a national tragedy coupled with the dying wish of a protégé compels trauma surgeon, Dr. Anna Goldenberg, to bring elite trauma training to a warzone, she embarks on a deeply personal mission that transcends bureaucracy, borders, and conflict.”

THE ASSET follows an American trauma surgeon, Dr. Anna Goldenberg, who answers that tragedy with a tool refined over decades in U.S. hospitals: The Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma — a cadaver-based course known simply as ASSET. She is motivated by her former protégé who is facing a battle of his own – metastatic cancer.

Built around one intense day of surgical trauma training, the film charts how a transfer of skill becomes a transfer of resolve, across language, borders and grief. Against enormous bureaucratic, financial, and personal obstacles, Dr. Goldenberg brings Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Druze surgeons together to train side by side. As she races against time, she discovers a deeper understanding of belonging, responsibility, and leading a life of service.

Rooted in the core ethos of medicine that every human life has value; the film offers an urgent and hopeful portrait of healing during a turbulent time. The ASSET is a hopeful story about mentorship, collaboration, and the universal commitment of healthcare professionals to save lives.
