UPDATE: Regarding The BEST BUY Exclusive 'GRACE' Blu-Ray Release!
Share on Facebook
This past Tuesday, we reported that BEST BUY exclusively release the Blu-Ray edition of Paul Solet's GRACE, almost a whole month before it's official release date on September 15th. The movie itself looks beautiful in hi-definition and the Blu-Ray (as well as the upcoming DVD) are brimming with tons of great special features, but we felt obligated to let you in on a slight error with the disc. The special features are not in the appropriate order.
Granted, as a paying consumer, you can watch the bonus features any which way you please. However, ICONS own Adam Barnick was responsible for all the supplemental material on the GRACE disc. What was originally intended as a feature length long documentary was instead divided up into 5 featurettes. (6 if you include Jake Hamilton's featurette from SUNDANCE) These features are meant to be played in a certain order to maintain a "feature length" documentary feel.
So if you pick up the Blu-Ray, THIS is the order you should watch the features in. (As listed on the back of the box):
- GRACE: Conception
- GRACE: Family
- Her Mother's Eyes: The Look Of GRACE
- GRACE: Delivered
- Lullaby: Scoring GRACE
- GRACE at Sundance
Enjoy!

Thanks for posting the update, I should just add to that. The featurettes were always intended to be in pieces, but the order above is how they were structured to flow together, letting you get to know members of the team and how they work, so by the time of "Delivered", you know who these people are and how they work. For example, the DP isn't introduced on camera in "Delivered" because the preceding featurette was all about him, etc.
I feel the Sundance doc works best at the end since you can see the end result of all the team's hard work, but that's personal preference. But one correction; that particular documentary is produced, directed, shot and edited by Jake Hamilton (www.jakehamilton.com), who did an AMAZING job. I hope everyone enjoys them!
