Full Battle Rattle Invited to Sundance Lab
Tony Gerber and I have been invited to the Sundance Institute Documentary Lab in August to workshop "Full Battle Rattle," our documentary about life inside the US Army's Iraq simulation. We'll be working with the Lab's guest film composers and screening our cut for advisors and staff. It should be a wonderful opportunity to share the film, in its early rough-cut stage, with an audience and get some feedback.

Hogue Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison
James Hogue was sentenced to 10 years in state prison for theft on Thursday, May 17 in Telluride. "A waste of talent and brainpower," said his attorney Harvey Palefsky. I couldn't agree more. Read the Telluride Daily Planet story for more details on the case. A detailed account of Hogue's life and information about Con Man, the film I produced about Hogue, can be found on this web site.

The film, which I'm directing with Tony Gerber, is about life inside the US Army’s Iraq simulation in California's Mojave Desert from the perspective of the Iraqi-American civilians who work there as “role players” and the US soldiers who train there. Here's the Variety article , and the Sundance press release.

Speedo - The Term Paper
I came across this college term paper by Meghan Quinn comparing Speedo and American Movie and "the reality of the American Dream." While I don't agree with all her conclusions, it's an interesting academic analysis. Favorite line: "The stories in the films are deliberately constructed to mimic fiction."
