The Power of Documentary Films

As most of you guys know, I'm sort of an evangelist for the power of documentary film. I really think we are coming to a golden age of documentary. Have you ever noticed that the highest rated films on Rotten Tomatoes are always docs?

Apparently Ted Hope, indie producer extrodinaire, agrees with me. He writes:

"Don’t you love it when you see a film and want to change the world? Don’t you love it even more when you see a film and learn that that film has already changed the world — and for the better? I sat watching Amy Ziering’s & Kirby Dick’s THE INVISIBLE WAR with my jaw hanging open, literally; my fury growing by the minute. When I was done, my understanding of the world had expanded, and my confidence in the power of film was confirmed."

My Future Crooked Film

So, my contribution to "Her Crooked House" will be a documentary (or I guess a series of doc webisodes) that will do periodic on-camera interviews with each member of the group.  I also plan to take video of whatever collective activities we engage in: parties, jobs, chores, orgies... (kidding Emma.)

However, as John will be in San Francisco and Emma will be in the UK all summer, I don't expect to start any serious filmming until the Fall.  I'm not much of a "blogger" really... so I don't see myself contributing a whole lot before then.

EDIT (6/18/2012): So after a long "google hangout" with the others, I've decided to keep on blogging about movies and other subjects for the next couple of months while we find a house.  I now officially have a warm fuzzy feeling about the entire project.  First step is to save money to save for a new camera.
