In Reply to: Movies about Holocaust that kids could watch? posted by Eldragon on March 19, 2006 at 06:18:29:
It's not exactly a holocaust story but it definitely touches on it. It's about a holocaust study group that arose in a Tennessee Middle School and what happened in the aftermath of that, so it's actually a kid story. It's won many awards and has been playing in heavy rotation on HBO since Nov 9, a date that may mean something to you.I'm biased because I'm one of the co-directors of the film. It came out on home video on March 7.

i heard about your movie, i'll definitely check it out. anything new in making?
Not making any new Holocaust-related films. Making one on the cost of war based on the experience of Bedford, VA, which lost more young men on D-Day per capita than any other US community. The film is about the town and how it has coped with loss, not about D-Day per se.Trying to finish a film about people who invent new musical instruments, for which I need to raise completion funds.
I've received a small NEH grant for a film exploration of the ancient Japanese novel The Tale of Genji, and it's vast influence over the creative work of other artists.
Hope to start soon (no kidding!) on a little independent doc about the wacky world of high end audio!! That one I'll shoot myself and I'm working with a good friend who's a field sound recordist.
Last, I'm doing a contract job directing a video for the US Army about the Army's new sex assault prevention and response policy.

That sounds like a bussy schedule. Were do you find time to post in the forums?The Tale of Genji! I alway wanted to read, but never got around. Time to visit amazon.com
Thanks for taking time to reply and good Luck in your journey!

p.s. i am an artis/painter, but I must say failed, as depression has gotten hold on me last couple of years. It is just a matter of me walking from this room to the next where my easel is...but no. not yet.
Reasonably busy, but it mostly spreads out across the calendar in an acceptable fashion. If you want to read the Genji I'd go for the most recent translation, by Royall Tyler. Available unabridged in Penguin paperback.
