The Nantucket Film Festival, whose 23rd edition is set for June 20-25, has announced its 2018 honorees.
The Screenwriters Tribute will go to Noah Baumbach, the Special Achievement in Documentary Storytelling Award will go to Morgan Neville, and the New Voices in Screenwriting Award to recent Sundance alum Andrew Heckler.
Given the festival’s longtime emphasis on screenwriting, the Screenwriters Tribute is always a centerpiece. Baumbach’s night will be Saturday, June 23, and will likely draw a host of notables to the Massachusetts island. Another regular feature of the festival, the All-Star Comedy Roundtable, will focus this year on improv. Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley) and Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation), will debut an improv show they performing in a national tour. The night will be presented by Ben Stiller, who will also participate in the show.
Baumbach just wrapped production on a new film he wrote and directed starring Scarlett Johansson,...
