Although Nanette Burstein’s riveting documentary American Teen failed to catch fire at the box office last summer, at least it got the director noticed. The New York-based documentarian has been granted her first shot at a fiction film. Burstein, already Oscar-nominated for her 1999 documentary On the Ropes, is negotiating with New Line Cinema to helm the project Going the Distance, which centers on a couple’s attempt to survive their geographically undesirable relationship: one lives in Chicago, the other in Los Angeles. The script comes from Geoff LaTulippe, a former New Line script reader who sold the project to New Line without agency representation. It’s his debut screenplay.

I thought American Teen was one of the better documentaries I’d seen in a while, painting such an honest portrayal of small-town teenage life I breathed a sigh of relief once I got out of there, for myself and for those kids, that they all went on to college and got on with their adult lives outside of high school. She was awesome!
If you liked American Teen, you should seek out RJ Cutler’s documentary series American High from earlier in the decade. It’s pretty great.
