Another local man is making a splash in the film biz. Local native J. Clay Tweel first came on our radar when we’d heard he operated cameras and worked as an editor on the King of Kong, the documentary about a showdown between two astounding characters at a Donkey Kong arcade tournament in the town of Hollywood, Florida. Tweel’s latest, Make Believe, won best documentary at the Los Angeles Film Festival yesterday. It marks Tweel’s first full-length documentary effort as director, and it follows similarly nerdy subject matter: it’s a Spellbound-style joy ride through the land of teenage magicians battling to be Teen World Champion.
