Director: James Bruner Writer: Norman Handelsman Starring: Stuart Anderson, Valora Noland, John Kulhanek The now famous cinematographer, Vilmos Zsigmond (McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Deliverance, The Long Goodbye, Close Encounters of the Third Kind) was still a little moist behind the ears from his training at the Budapest Film Academy -- where he studied alongside Laszlo Kovacs -- when first-time director James Bruner recruited him to lens Summer Children. Bruner wanted to create an homage to the masters of Italian Neo-Realism and the French New Wave -- and Raoul Coutard was probably too busy working with the highly-prolific Jean-Luc Godard -- so he chose Zsigmond, a 35-year old devout student of European cinema. Together, they created a visually magnificent film that, upon completion of production, lacked the appropriate financing for post-production publicity and distribution. Summer Children was placed in storage for over 40 years in several different Deluxe Laboratory Archival vaults in several states and countries.
