Documentaries, Backyards, and Deep Breaths

Yesterday we saw Client 9 which was a powerful documentary about Eliot Spitzer and his down fall. Couldn't stay for the Q and A but would love to know the trade off the filmmaker had to make to get Spitzer to cooperate and sit for interviews. What I also found interesting is how many enemies Spitzer had made and how that was a huge reason he went down so hard, no one wanted to lay down a pillow for him. Well, maybe some of his mistresses, but you know what I mean.

Then we saw Eric Mendelson's 3 Backyards, which was a unique tale of three families seemingly not having anything in common. Edie Falco can act more with her face than any actress i've ever seen. There are layers of emotions in her without ever breathing a word. If you decide to see it, I'd love to talk about it over coffee.

Still raining here at Woodstock. Getting ready for our premiere tonight. Many people coming to support us.
