Of the two film makers, Vincente Minnelli and Jay T. Wright, who was better known for independent films?
Jay T. Wright Jay T. Wright (born 1972) is an American filmmaker best known for showing in European video spaces and independent film festivals. His work synergizes theoretical math, science and art. The argument in much of his work is about the generic quality of all mechanically or digitally manufactured images and ability or lack of ability to communicate content. This tension acts, in many of his films, as a competing motive and sometimes in direct conflict with any idea of narrative.
Vikram Jayanti Vikram Teja Jayanti is a documentary filmmaker responsible for a number of well known full-feature documentary films. Two of his films, for which he has production credits, have received Academy Awards for Best Full-Feature Documentary; the 1997 blockbuster When We Were Kings and 2005's Born Into Brothels. A sampling of his other work includes Innocents Abroad, "The Man Who Bought Mustique", "James Ellroy's Feast of Death", "", and "Lincoln". He and his films have also won a number of awards, including the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, and have been nominated for others.
