“I think if I lived in New York I would be really stressed out going out to a club and seeing a good DJ who's doing something on a similar level. I'm pretty critical of myself when it comes to the music.

“In an old model, the way a film would imprint itself on the public's consciousness is to get a theatrical run. But now there are more documentaries and more films in general being released than ever before. There are weeks when the New York Times is reviewing 15 films, so it's harder to leave an impression on the public. A lot of these films are seeing their financial future on digital platforms. Because viewers aren't hearing as much about films in theatrical release, I think the festival circuit is going to have increasing importance for the life of a film.” ThinkingWayRunningFilmConsciousnessSeeingWeekNew YorkModelsImportanceHarderFinancialHearingImpressionReleaseDigitalPlatformsViewersDocumentariesFestivalsNew York TimesTheatricalCircuits Author:Thom Powers

“The violence in New York feels really mundane and banal to me. Whereas in the privacy of one's own home, say, like the farm I grew up on in Vermont, the kinds of things that can happen seem much more extreme. Maybe because it's more personal. Or maybe because you block out the things that happen in the city. But it's like seeing things born, live, die, fall apart, and start over again, without any intermediary clean-up steps from some corporate organization.” FeelsKindHomeSeemsHappensDiesFallBornCitiesStepsViolenceSeeingNew YorkGrewGrew UpOrganizationCleanExtremesBlockCorporatePrivacyFarmsFalling ApartStarting OverMundaneVermont Author:Elizabeth Neel
