Guest of Honor: Cary Fukunaga
Director Carey Fukunaga turned heads with his incredibly assured feature filmmaking debut - the harrowing immigrant drama "Sin Nombre." That film won him a Best Director nod at Sundance. Now he's confounding expectations again with his choice for a follow-up: a lush new adaption of the 19th century gothic romance novel "Jane Eyre." It hits theaters this weekend. Cary chats with Rico about pigeonholes, the frustrations of good weather, and his lead actor's equine allure.
