Marc Forster's first film, Everything Put Together, is on Sundance right now, but I can't watch it right now. With a tremendous DV transfer, it looks great while it bleeds all hope for suburban humanity from your system. Monster's Ball's a veritable The Sound of Music by comparison. Read a good Indiewire interview with Forster.
Since 2001 here at greg.org, I've been blogging about the creative process—my own and those of people who interest me. That mostly involves filmmaking, art, writing, research, and the making thereof.
