'Fruitvale,' Produced By Forest Whitaker And Starring Michael B. Jordan, Wins Big At Sundance

The Sundance Film Festival concluded this past Saturday night with the biggest winner being Fruitvale, a film produced by Forest Whitaker, 51, and starring Michael B. Jordan (pictured), 25. Fruitvale tells the true story of Oscar Grant, an unarmed man shot and killed by police officers in Oakland, Calif. The film won both the grand jury prize and audience prize for dramatic film.

"When I first made this project, it was about humanity, and how we treat the people we love most and the people we don't know," writer/director Ryan Coogler, 26, said. "To get this means that this film made a powerful impact. This goes back to my home, the Bay area, where Oscar Grant lived for 22 years. I can't wait to see you all when this is said and done and I'm more articulate and not so emotional."

Another big winner was Blood Brother, directed by Steve Hoover. The documentary swept the grand jury prize for documentary and the audience award. The story focuses on an unsatisfied American, Rocky Braat, who travels to India to work with orphans suffering from HIV. "Man, it is so encouraging. For the kids, that is so awesome," said Braat. "Because their lives are so challenging. And no one remembers their names."

Individual winners include Lake Bell, 33, for screenwriting. The actress made her screenwriting and directorial debut with In a World… . Miles Teller, 25, and Shailene Woodley, 21, earned a special jury award for their performances in the coming-of-age story The Spectacular Now.
