I am very happy to announce that I will have two films screening at the 2005 Westwood International Film Festival which will run September 30 - October 14th at the Majestic Crest Theatre in Los Angeles.

The festival will host the world premiere of “The Cole Nobody Knows,” my recently completed documentary on musician Freddy Cole, the virtually unknown, yet equally talented younger brother of Nat “King” Cole. At age 73, with his current recording topping the jazz charts, Mr. Cole is finally being recognized for his amazing musical talent. “The Cole Nobody Knows” features never before seen live performance material with Mr. Cole and interviews with musical legends Monty Alexander, Clark Terry, David “Fathead” Newman plus many others.

The videography aspect of the film was shot entirely with the DVX-100A. Digital still photography was done with a Fuji S2 Pro & a Nikon D2X...

----------

The festival will also screen my 1992 release "Post No Bills," the award-winning documentary on legendary Los Angeles guerilla political poster artist Robbie Conal. Photographed in the grainy nighttime streets and in the well-lit galleries of Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City, this film documents Conal's efforts through a variety of perspectives, including original material with gallery owners, city officials, LAPD Chief Daryl Gates, Tim Robbins, the Reagans, and even Oliver North. Featured in over 20 international film festivals and broadcast nationally on PBS, this provocative film is a must see for anyone interested in Conal's captivating work or political art.

This project was shot & edited on 16 mm...

------------

Both of these projects have been enormous “labours of love” for me as I produced, directed, photographed & edited both of these films...

"The Cole Nobody Knows" is screening on October 6th at 4:30 pm and "Post No Bills" is tentatively set to screen on October 13th at 4:30 pm. Please note that both of these times are subject to change (as they have once already) so please check the festival’s website for final scheduling.

Just one DVX-100A was used.

I shot 24P 4:3 using my AspectCorrect 16:9 cling and applied the LBX'ing in post...

Congratulations Clay!
Docs are difficult enough to make; getting screened at a recognized festival is quite an achievement.
I'll definitely try to catch that showing.

I hope to have it screened in the NYC area since most of it was shot there. I will let you know when that happens.

This documentary got a huge write-up on the front page of the Living section of this morning's Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I'm looking forward to the eventual Atlanta screening of this movie.

Congrats again, Clay!
 
Thanks Christopher!
