An Evening with Albert Maysles



I had the rare opportunity last night to see Albert Maysles speak in person presenting a wondeful retrospective of his work. A living legend to be sure, if you're a fan of old TV you may at one point or another seen his work on CBS News. He of course went on to far grander works. You can read my synopsis of the evening here.

Lack of Showbiz


Please accept my apologies for the unconventional slow down or complete lack of posts recently. I was engulfed in The TCM Classic Film Festival in Los Angeles this past week and am just now getting things back in order. In the meantime, please visit the archive of blog posts about the festival that I wrote for WFMU here.
