Travis Fine

The writer, producer, director and editor of award-winning independent films, Travis Fine does not shy away from challenging or provocative material. THE SPACE BETWEEN, starring Academy Award winner Melissa Leo, takes audiences on a cross country journey with a young Pakistani boy on September 11, 2001, as he desperately tries to determine the fate of his father. In the 1970s period drama ANY DAY NOW, starring Alan Cumming and Garrett Dillahunt, Fine explores the definition of family as two gay men attempt to adopt a young boy with Down Syndrome. THE SPACE BETWEEN debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival, received a Special Jury Award for Leo's performance, and was purchased by the USA NETWORK and served as special programming for the cable network to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11. ANY DAY NOW received over 20 Audience and Best Picture awards at film festivals all over the world, including Tribeca Film Festival, Chicago International Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival, and Outfest. The film was also recognized by the prestigious gay rights organization GLAAD with their 2013 Media Award for Best Film. After debuting on just one screen in Tokyo in April 2014, ANY DAY NOW became a cultural phenomenon in Japan, with long lines at the theaters, huge box office numbers, a one plus year theatrical run, and unprecedented media coverage for an indie film. ANY DAY NOW was remade in Korea, and in 2020 will have its world premiere as a stage musical in Japan.
