We talk to a lot of talented filmmakers at Musicbed, but not all of them win Oscars. And we all know that you can be a world-class filmmaker and not take home the golden statue—Spike Lee, Alfred Hitchcock, Sidney Lumet, are a few great examples.

The Oscar-nominated Body Team 12 would be a sci-fi horror film if not for the fact that it really happened.

Their work was dangerous and controversial; but more than anything, it was heroic.
