The feature documentary “The Curve,” which examines the decisions that led to America’s Covid-19 crisis, is being shopped around at the Toronto International Film Festival by Jet Black Iris Productions.
Directed by Academy Award-nominee Adam Benzine (“Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah”) and featuring an original score by Emmy-winning composer Joel Goodman, the film traces the crucial three-month period, from mid-January to mid-April, when the choices made by America’s leaders sealed the country’s fate.

Director Barry Avrich adds to the conversation of #MeToo and Time’s Up with the forthcoming documentary The Reckoning: Hollywood’s Worst Kept Secret…and that secret is not that much of a secret anymore.
Featuring interviews with Melissa Sagemiller, Lauren Sivan, Dylan Farrow, and others, Avrich explores sexual misconduct in Hollywood, the abuse of power, and how some of the industry’s biggest names — mainly Harvey Weinstein — came toppling down after the floodgates opened with numerous allegations of sexual misconduct.
Written and produced by Avrich and Melissa Hood, the film puts the spotlight on those accused of sexual misconduct and gives an insider’s account of what happened with Weinstein along with other disgraced producers. The Weinstein accusation launched of an emotional movement that shifted the Hollywood landscape when it came to the treatment of women and led to women sharing stories of abuse that have been happening for decades.

As Harvey Weinstein faces accusations from more than 100 women and a rape trial that could send him to prison for 25 years, directors, writers, and producers jockey for position: Who will be the first to prepare adaptations of his demise? He sparked an episode of “Law & Order: Svu” that aired earlier this year, but that only scratches the surface.
Of course, news headlines spur plenty of quickly announced films that never get made. Revolution Studios touted “Fan Interference” the week Steve Bartman’s foul ball catch kept the Cubs from the 2003 World Series, while Spike Lee pledged to direct a James Brown biopic for Paramount Pictures and Imagine Entertainment just one day after the soul legend’s death in 2006. However, a couple of these Weinstein undertakings are very much in the works, with one only months away.
Here, we assess the prospective Weinstein-inspired projects to date, from most to least likely.

In 2010, filmmaker Barry Avrich wrote, directed and produced Unauthorized: The Harvey Weinstein Project, a documentary about the micro-managing, hair-trigger tempered but ultimately genius Hollywood producer. Now Avrich and producer Melissa Hood’s new documentary The Reckoning: Hollywood’s Worst Kept Secret will have its world premiere at the 25th Hot Docs Film Festival. It will bow as part of the festival’s Special Presentations program
Avrich’s new feature length documentary returns to detail what he didn’t know then about the far darker side of the now-disgraced sexual predator. Which begs the question, if it was Hollywood’s worst kept secret, how come the subject didn’t come up eight years ago in his first doc.
The Reckoning: Hollywood’s Worst Kept Secret is executive produced by Hood, Patrice Theroux and Avrich.
The Reckoning opens with a contrite Weinstein packing off to a rehab centre, right before the #MeToo movement exploded.
