Debra Granik's first film, "Down to the Bone," introduced much of the world to Vera Farmiga, who would go on to stardom in films like "The Departed," "Orphan," and an Oscar nomination in "Up in the Air." Granik's new film "Winter's Bone" seeks to spark a similar career for its star Jennifer Lawrence, whose relentless portrayal of Ree, a teen who has a week to find her meth-addicted father who may or may not have jumped bail, before the government takes their house. The film has been nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay.
