James Longley (jlongley here on DVXUser) directed the Oscar-nominated "Iraq In Fragments", shot on a DVX100, and was nominated the next year for another Oscar for a short film "Sari's Mother".

Congratulations James!
 
I would like to see him follow his 2002's "Gaza Strip" with a sequel exploring what its residents have accomplished since Israel's withdrawal in 2005.
 
Yo James, I'm really happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time...OF ALL TIME!!


(congratulations :) )
 
Wow, I knew James when he has a film student at Wesleyan University. We are all excited by the news.
 
I feel privileged to be part of a community that has such talented and intelligent members. This is very exciting and impressive. We are in good company here on DVX User. Congratulations also to the management of DVX User for constructing a community where people of this caliber participate.
