Our two year project Broken Angel Rising, chronicling the efforts of local artist Arthur Wood and a young developer to convert his legendary sculptural edifice Broken Angel into a bunch of cool condos, has hit a wall. They’ve put the building up for sale.

I have no clue who is behind this film, but it looks incredible - and certainly dangerous. Its a doc that examines the link between a missing boy, a child prostitution ring, Boys Town, and a bunch of political bigwigs. Spooky stuff. We can’t wait to see more.

Ann Lewison over at the New Haven Advocate recently acknowledged Horns and Halos:

Among the books Oliver Stone and screenwriter Stanley Weiser read when they were researchingW. was James Hatfield’s 1999 biography Fortunate Son, which earned notoriety for making unattributed allegations that Bush had been arrested for cocaine possession in 1972 and further notoriety when its publisher, St. Martin’s Press, recalled the book when it was revealed that Hatfield had done five years for attempted murder. The story of what happened next – far more dramatic than anything in W. – is told in Horns and Halos, Suki Hawley and Michael Galinsky’s documentary on the book’s republication by Soft Skull Press, then run out of the basement of a lower east side apartment building by its founder, Sander Hicks, who also worked as the building’s super.

While Bush and McCain battle it out for the Republican nomination, the young, politically committed publisher and the author, in his early forties and struggling to break out of a career on the midlist writing trivia books, “X-Files” tie-ins and unauthorized biographies of Patrick Stewart and Ewan McGregor, embark on a media tour that includes stops at “60 Minutes” and “Democracy Now.” For the second edition, Hatfield adds a forward explaining his criminal past, which leads to more problems. For the third edition he names his sources. Sort of. 

The tale of quicky campaign biography that went astray with tragic results, Horns and Halosremains compelling even in the final months of the Bush Administration because it’s really about two little guys tilting at giant media windmills, a story that never gets old.

Horns and Halos is available from Netflix, at better video stores, and from the filmmakers themselves.

Its nice to know people pay attention. Wish more had seen the film 8 years ago.

When Ned Beatty’s Arthur Jensen erupts on hapless Howard Beale with his infamous diatribe on the nature of the world we get one of the most prescient monologues ever recorded on film. 

It is incredible to think it was made almost 40 years ago.

Benjamin Button, a $150 million dollar production, was post-produced almost entirely within Fincher’s offices in Hollywood, using a completely tapeless digital HD workflow from camera to final output.

Whether or not you liked Benjamin Button, the special effects are otherworldly. Despite the exorbitant budget, the post team used final cut pro.
