Watched all three episodes last night, Kurt. Intended to watch just one, but I couldn't stop. Excellent and detailed.

and Kevin Millar was really the star! such a great character. Yeah, it is really solidly built. There's not much out there that's this well put together. I found it riveting and I have no rooting interest in the Red Sox.

Research was the key. They knew every story beat and explored it. The editing was tight, too. I laughed out loud when Millar, corrected on what he was asked on ESPN all those years ago says, "Oh, then yeah, he had a right to be mad." The guy is interview gold.

But overall, that film was a master class on sticking to your story, keeping it simple, and maintaining pace. I've watched 60-minute docs where I started to lose focus at the 20-minute mark. This kept me locked in for three straight hours.

Cheenee

Cheenee - Indian resilience shapes Caribbean culture through dance and architecture.

Trailer: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/671272947/cc68b6ff96

In Hindi, “cheenee” means sugar—the resource behind the forced relocation of thousands of Indians to Trinidad and Tobago as indentured servants in the nineteenth century. Cheenee is the story of how Indian immigrants struggled, and later flourished, building communities and developing distinct architectural styles in the Caribbean.

Through the lens of architecture, dance, and photography, this documentary artfully explores how these immigrants, once displaced, overcame hardship and flourished, leaving an indelible mark on the Caribbean's culture and landscape.

“What’s the Story Wishbone?” New Documentary!

I just wanted to share that a documentary I recently mixed was just released and is currently #1 on Apple Documentaries! It’s titled, “What’s the Story Wishbone?” and covers the history of the multi Emmy winning PBS show “Wishbone”. It was directed and produced by Joey Stewart (a 1st AD from the show) and was co-produced by Larry Brantley (who was the voice of Wishbone). This was a real labor of love for the filmmakers and many people here in the Dallas area that worked on the show in the 90’s. Please check it out this weekend!

Sneaker doc

So, the only reason I'm "recommending" Nigel Sylvester's new "Brick After Brick" documentary – about his collaboration with Jordan brand on a signature sneaker line – is because my own forthcoming documentary is about a fatal shooting that took place outside a sneaker store during a release of an earlier version of the same sneaker.

I wish I had my doc ready to go so that I could capitalize on having quick fire "counter doc," if you will, that could sort of ride the momentum of "Brick After Brick." Then again, maybe my doc, "Bless Your Sole," just needs to stand on its own. If anything, I can reference the new doc and infuse snippets of it into mine in order to get the juxtaposition effect I'm seeking.

Nigel's doc is also a behind-the-scenes look at the marketing for his "Brick After Brick" sneakers. I don't want to spoil it but suffice it to say they did a lot cinematographically to make an expensive car look like it got crushed by a gigantic brick.
