Seeking distribution, potential Best Actress contender

I'm glad to see that they're still seeking a distributor/hosting screenings. If it gets a distributor I reckon JC has a good shot at an Oscar nomination, especially given what the article says:

And this week I am told potential distributors are still viewing Shelter, another TIFF debut, which was written and directed by first-time helmer Paul Bettany and stars his wife, Connelly, and Anthony Mackie. I caught it this week at UTA’s Beverly Hills offices.

It’s an immensely powerful and provocative love story about two homeless people on the streets of New York City — each with a past that is slowly revealed. One scene would be sure to land this film, as currently edited, an NC-17 rating. But there can be no doubt Connelly turns in her finest and riskiest performance since Requiem For A Dream.

Reps involved in the film have looked at the thin landscape in the Best Actress race and surmise there could be a spot for Connelly, given a December Oscar-qualifying run. This is a big “if” at this point as no distributor has signed on. Voting actors would very likely respond to this brave portrait of a woman on the verge, and certainly to Connelly’s raw and compelling work, which transcends even her Oscar-winning supporting turn in A Beautiful Mind.
