KIND WORDS FOR PERSISTENCE OF VISION

I received an unexpected email today from Austin Burbridge, editor of Cinema Minima, saying that he had written a story about Persistence of Vision. I had never talked to him so it came as a pleasant surprise. The story primarilly references the interview I did with Diana Rooks for IndianapolisFilm.Net, but it goes on to say:

"This is precisely the kind of movie making that ought to be supported, encouraged, and emulated. It is local. It is about ordinary people, doing the most remarkable things of all, making the most of their own lives — playing the hands that Life has dealt them. The director, instead of reaching for something celebrated or fantastical, has elected to participate in the life of his own community, and has made himself available to its wealth of stories. As an American politician had remarked that “All politics is local,” this production demonstrates that all documentary is local, too."

Thank you for the kind words and coverage Austin. I appreciate that and will pass it on to Jean as well.
