Just because something gets on the air is it beyond criticism? Is criticism the same as wishing films didn't get made? What's your point? PBS and Burns could have broadcast better films on those subjects if they'd been more discerning.
My films? My penultimate doc was distributed theatrically by Miramax and was seen in theaters in over 70 US cities. It played in heavy rotation on HBO for a year. It won over 15 awards including being named One of the 5 Best Docs of the year by the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, a national Emmy nomination, and received a Christopher Award, which is given to films that "Affirm the Highest Values of the Human Spirit." It also won the audience favorite award in a festival at which were also shown the 5 films that were nominated for the Feature Doc Academy Award that year.
Other films have been seen on Discovery and the History Channel. My new film is about to go into festival screenings and then we'll see what happens from there...
