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.
Some Came Running (film) Some Came Running is a 1958 American drama film directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Shirley MacLaine, based on the novel of the same name by James Jones. It tells the story of a troubled Army veteran and author who returns to his Midwestern hometown after 16 years, to the chagrin of his wealthy, social-climbing brother.
