Filmmakers creating Documentaries About the Arts
I'm looking to connect with other documentary filmmakers attending the Conference who are involved in creating documentaries about musicians, artists, writers, poets, etc.
"Concerto for Two Brothers," being produced by my company, Cristina Cassidy Productions, LLC, is a personal story about two instrumentalists who transcended a tough childhood at the hands of a brilliant but disturbed father. They got through it because of the bonds they formed with other young musicians in their high school and community orchestras. Today one is the principal cellist of the Atlanta Symphony, and the other plays first violin for the New York Philharmonic. This story, at its heart, is about transcendence, about how the village not only raises a child, but also sometimes saves the child's creative soul.
I'd love to talk to other filmmakers who are using their films as a tool for social advocacy for the arts. Let's get together and share our common experiences and come up with positive ways to promote the message that art needs to do more than survive, it needs to thrive.

I'd love to talk about arts documentaries with you! I am finishing up a documentary called "Art is Patriotic" with filmmaker Jeffery Schell about artists' response to the 2008 RNC, and the confluence of art and politics, especially in this pivotal, paradigm-shifting era. www.artispatriotic.com. --Marya Morstad
