I'd like to believe that I have readers EVERYWHERE ( I know I know its probably all in MY mind) so with that in mind I thought I'd write about this movie review I saw in the New York Times today. The name of the documentary is Banished and it was directed by Marco Williams A well-respected filmmaker, he holds an undergraduate degree from Ha'vard as well as two graduate degrees from UCLA. He currently teaches at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Back to the movie.. Banished was released in 2006 and was first seen by various groups through outreach events. For those of you from or around the Texas area you may remember he directed along with Whitney Dow the Two Towns of Jasper. The story was part of the Point of View series on PBS and aired in 2003. Since the release of Banished he has been making the rounds at various film festivals and hitting the media circuit to discuss his latest project. The site is not up to date, so I'll keep checking for its premiere in the Houston area. If anyone in the New York area has seen this documentary or plans to see it, stop by my blog and tell me how it is. Enjoy Lady Writer
