Documentary

[enduringplum]

When we first got back to New Orleans, my sweetie and I were in a documentary filmed by ten18films. The cut below goes to a brief LJ entry about that documentary (go to [Bad username or unknown identity: ten18films'] LJ to see the original and the comments made). Jeremy, the director, is a sweet guy who deserves the recognition he's receiving for Hexing a Hurricane, because through it he helped tell our story and the story of our city in what I still feel is a very sensitive, authentic way; I don't think it could have been done by anyone who didn't love New Orleans.

Hexing A Hurricane is one of only five films nominated for “Best American Documentary” at the Rome International Film Festival. The 2006 Jury will announce the winner, as well as the recipients of six other awards, at a special ceremony concluding the festival on September 10.

The documentary features Chris Rose, Sallie Ann Glassman, Angela Hill, Garland Robinette, Irvin Mayfield and many others. It is distributed domestically by the National Film Network.
