Back in NYC finally after being on the road for what seemed like a LONG time. We had what to me felt like one of our best screenings at the Wexner Center in Columbus, Ohio. I’ve been doing residencies and screening stuff at the Wexner for forever (I onlined my first movie “The Rainbow Man/John […]

One of the great things about doing a “live documentary” is that you can constantly add stuff to it. I’m always on the lookout for new images.

We are leaving tomorrow for Yellow Knife, Canada for the YK Film Festival. I like that we are going from Sundance to Yellow Knife. I also have really enjoyed telling people to type “Yellow Knife” into Google maps to see where we are going. After we got an invite to do UTOPIA there, I did […]
Utopia Premieres at Sundance 2010 2/05/10 • (Comments Off on Utopia Premieres at Sundance 2010)
