presents
filmmaker Noah Hutton and his
Award Winning Documentary
What if you had the chance to save a life, would you do it? You may find the answer from three extraordinary men. Each suffers from leukemia and their lives depend on finding the perfect bone marrow match. Nigerian born Seun Adelbiy might be mistaken for a human torpedo as he trains for the U.S.A. Olympic Skeleton Competition, but the road ahead for this 26-year-old Yale law school graduate is much tougher than high-speed turns around an icy track. World-class tenor saxophonist and 15-time Grammy-award winner Michael Brecker defeated substance abuse to be the consummate musician, family man and role model. James Chippendale, successful entrepreneur, finds in leukemia a life altering challenge, morphing from a life of parties to founder of the Love Hope Strength Foundation. This is accomplished film making and essential viewing that just might save a life! (Barbara Pokras, A.C.E.).
Born in Los Angeles in 1987 to actors Timothy Hutton and Debra Winger, Noah Hutton
spent his childhood on film sets and developed a passion for filmmaking. After attending the Fieldston School in the Bronx, NY, Hutton entered Wesleyan University in 2005. In the summer of 2007, he traveled to Uganda with the Jacob Burns Film Center's World Crew program and co-directed a documentary, "Shooting for Peace." The film tracked three pressing issues in Uganda: child soldiers, water treatment and HIV/AIDS orphans.
At 21, Hutton had his directorial debut with "Crude Independence," a documentary about the oil boom in North Dakota, which was an official selection at the 2009 SXSW Film Festival and won the Jury Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 2009 Oxford Film Festival. Hutton graduated Wesleyan in 2009, where he studied art history and neuroscience. He resides in New York City
