the spirit of the times
I hate to brag (false) but we’ve had a very exciting 24 hours at Zeitgeist.
First, Paul Goodman Changed My Life opened at the Film Forum last night to a sold out crowd (and fabulous reviews) at the 6:30 show, which was followed by a great Q and A with director Jonathan Lee and producer/editor Kimberly Reed (there’s another Q and A tonight after the 8:30 show, if you can make it!).
Just as the Q and A was starting, we got the word that Elena had won the Grand Prix for Best Film at the Ghent Film Festival! I had a glass of champagne for each joyous event at the after party (it’s not that many, mom! Yes, I know it’s a Wednesday).
THEN, this morning, we woke up to the fantastic news (unexpected to some) that Bill Cunningham New York is nominated for Best Documentary at the Gotham Awards!
Congrats to all our filmmakers! Stay tuned for tomorrow’s Fun Friday, where I very much hope to somehow incorporate Ellen Barkin’s Twitter.
