The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced their new list of invitees to join the Documentary Branch - and whereas in past years the invite list topped out at three or four, this year the Academy has invited seven to join, including two of last year's winners - James Marsh (MAN ON WIRE) and Megan Mylan (SMILE PINKI).
Also welcomed: William Gazecki (nominated for WACO: THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT in 1997), Rachel Grady (nominated for JESUS CAMP in 2007; co-director Heidi Ewing was previously invited to join), Rory Kennedy (director of GHOSTS OF ABU GHRAIB and executive producer of the Oscar nominated STREET FIGHT), Scott Hamilton Kennedy (nominated for THE GARDEN last year) and Doug Pray (director of HYPE!, SCRATCH and this year's ART & COPY).
