Tom Wulf
Tom Wulf’s “A Tale of Two Cities” debuts the festival this afternoon at Vinegar Hill Theater. Sean McCord spoke with Wulf to find out how he came to make a documentary about the rise and fall of Circuit City.
Filmakers Meghan Eckman and Christopher Hlad join Coy Barefoot to talk about their documentary on a special place where people park their cars on the Corner. The Parking Lot Movie examines the attendants as they mete out a unique kind of justice while monitoring the many vehicles that use the lot daily. The film will be shown at the South by Southwest Festival next month, and will have its premiere in Charlottesville at the Paramount Theatre on March 27th, 8pm.
This 27 minute documentary pilot is an experiment in raw reporting from the February 17 meeting of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The idea for the show is to send one producer or reporter into a public hearing where a controversial issue is up for discussion. The producer talks with the people who attend, and these interviews are not reduced to soundbites, making for a much longer story, but one that better represents the complexities of the issues at hand.
Please comment and let us know what you think about the sound quality and the public affairs quality of the report.
