'The Wolfpack' Steps Out of New York for Sundance and Beyond
When filmmaker Crystal Moselle first saw the long-haired Angulo brothers walking in the Lower East Side, her gut told her to run after them. She and Govinda Angulo, one of the six members of The Wolfpack, tell us how their friendship evolved into an award-winning documentary.
"Our world was movies and that's everything we would reference from." Govinda Angulo and his five brothers grew up rarely leaving their New York apartment. Films became their window to the outside world. When they did begin to venture out, a chance meeting with director Crystal Moselle led to the documentary The Wolfpack, which took home the Grand Jury prize at Sundance this year.
