Judging the Short Docs at Woodstock
After the flurry of happy hours and parties that greeted Team Indiepix on night one of the Woodstock Film Festival, I woke up in a haze of “where am I? why is David yelling at me? How do I turn on my electric toothbrush?” But I DID manage to make it to the Colony Cafe and interviewing several lovely filmmakers and industry folks (including my wonderful friend and entertainment lawyer extraordinaire Steven Beer.) At noon, I conferred with my fellow Documentary Shorts jurors, dear friend Ryan Harrington of A & E Indie Films, and documentary filmmaker Robert Stone (GUERRILA: THE TAKING OF PATTI HEARST and OSWALD’S GHOSTS). After a nice and respectful discussion, over too much coffee (my stomach seems to be angry at me right now), a winner — and honorable mention — was decided upon. Which, of course, I will not announce until we officially do so at the Awards Dinner tomorrow night. Just a couple more interviews to go, and then we wait, with baited breath, for tonight’s Billy the Kid premiere and Indiepix fete.
