Our first feature, CATFISH, is an official selection of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival!!!

Haven’t had time to sleep or think for a few months.   Finishing two films at the same time is no easy feat.

Our Sundance experience has been amazing (more on that soon) and we have one screening left.

If you’re in Park City come see it:  8:30 @  Holiday Village…..

The experiment is blowing up all over the internet.  People have been following the live GPS map and tracking us down.  But this weekend we’re on the hunt for all of the people who found the chairs.

Our upcoming documentary about the project will premiere at the BluDot anniversary party and be featured on their website in December…

Our dear friends Gabe & Liz got married about a month ago in Amagansett (I was Gabe’s best man) and Supermarché pulled out the stops.  We had 4 super-8 cameras rolling (Me, Rel, Nev and Max Joseph) one HVX-200 (Joe Anderson) and a Canon 5D Mark II.  It’s going to be the best wedding video ever.

The wedding got a full page in The New York Times!

Plus, their documentary “Wade in the Water Children” is getting released on DVD soon.

Why, you ask?  Because our intern, Raella Rothman is famous.  She’s being featured in a documentary about 6 word memoirs, as part of a series about “cool happenings in New York”.

How does it feel to be in a Japanese doc?  “It’s less tangible because it’s not broadcast in our country.  But it’s awesome.  I like that it’s Japanese TV because my face will be in Japan before I am, and I’ve always wanted to go.” - Raella

In August 2006 I traveled to New Orleans for a week to work with two of my best friends, Gabe Nussbaum and Elizabeth Wood, on their documentary about a group of kids in the first school to re-open post Katrina. This weekend the film premiered and won the Audience Choice “New Orleans Rebirth” Award at the International Human Rights Film Festival! Jody and I went down to shoot a follow-up (and possible new ending) at the premiere.

Our visit conveniently coincided with the New Orleans Pirate Film Festival. Overheard conversation:

Local : Eat a d*ck, get out of our f*cking town!

Pirate: Shut your mouth.

Dear Diary,

This is Albert Maysles’ Manifesto. I typed it out and brought it to him at his gallery opening tonight (he’s published a scrap book). He wondered if it was the original– I said “no, it’s just old paper”.
It’s intended for documentary filmmaking but you can use it as a guideline for almost anything.

There’s nothing quite like watching one of your filmmaking idols watch a movie you made. He told us he loves it and wants to be involved. Then he regaled us with stories from his past for the next 2 hours. Unbelievable. Picking his brain about making documentaries was like winning a shopping spree in the inspiration supermarket.
