Deaf Jam

I was blown away watching deaf teens perform slam poetry with hearing teens in Judy Lieff’s “Deaf Jam”. The film, which we are friends of/fans of, is showing this week on Independent Lens.

Parts of the HWM office might have dressed as Jean-Paul Belmondo from the last scene of Godard’s “Pierrot le Fou” for Halloween last night, no big deal. A classic costume choice, we say.

William Miller and Lee Baker’s film “Don’t Follow me (I’m Lost)” about musician Bobby Bare, Jr. is a pick of the day on Indiewire & is vying for pick of the week (https://apps.facebook.com/my-polls/2ej24e4j). We got to know these talented folks at a at a concert for the film in Brooklyn- we’d been fans of BBJr since first time we saw him play.

We’re once again embarking on a film with Doug Block, who this time turns his lens on modern marriage. By revisiting some of the favorite couples he’s shot over the past twenty years during his side gig as a wedding videographer, Doug takes a look at what makes some weddings work and others fall apart – all while approaching his own 25th anniversary. Not all of us at Hard Working Movies have entered into matrimonial unions yet, but that doesn’t diminish our excitement about working with Doug again in shining an exploring light onto the inner workings of modern families. Stay tuned for more as production continues.
