Margaret Brown, whose The Order of Myths earned an award at Silverdocs and a number of other honors in 2008, won the Truer Than Fiction Award at the Film Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica yesterday. The award goes to "an emerging director of nonfiction features who has not yet received significant attention." Brown's previous film, Be Here to Love Me: A Film about Townes Van Zandt, received major acclaim during its 2005 release.
