HALF NELSON OPENING

I recently painted the poster for the film HALF NELSON written, produced, and directed by my friends Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. It opens next week in New York at the Lincoln Plaza cinemas and the Angelika. The movie rocks, so go see it. Anna and I went to college together, and Anna recently edited Windowbreaker, my short that's currently going around to festivals.

Here are some pictures from the opening on August 2nd at the Tribeca Cinemas. Ryan Gosling and Anthony Mackie (who are amazing in the film) were both there, as were two of my filmmaking heroes Peter Sollett and Eva Vives (director and producer, respectively, of Five Feet High and Rising and Raising Victor Vargas).

ANDREI F-CKING TARKOVSKY

While we were premiering at Anthology, I also managed to take these pics of me next to film canisters holding what I have to assume is the newly restored 205 minute directors' cut of Andrei Tarkovsky's masterpiece Andrei Rublev. As Bob says in the movie What About Bob?, "There are two kinds of people in the world - those who enjoy the seminal works of Andrei Tarkovsky, and those who don't." He either said that about Tarkovsky or Neil Diamond, I can't remember which.

**HAPPY BUT OUT OF FOCUS**


**THE BEST MOVIE EVER**

DOCUMENT OPENS AT THE ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES

So, DOCUMENT premiered this week at the Anthology as part of their quarterly NEWFILMMAKERS series. We had a packed show but I really have no idea who anybody was except Paul Landefeld, my buddy from college, and Bern Cohen, who played Mr. Donovan in the film.

Here are some pics:
