I worked as an archival research on the Kartemquin documentary For The Left Hand. The Chicago Tribune called it “seriously inspiring.” The film will be running nationally on PBS in November.
Roy’s World, a documentary looking at the Chicago childhood of writer Barry Gifford, makes its Chicago premiere at the Music Box on November 13. Barry Gifford will be there, too. I found much of the Chicago footage and images for this movie. I am really amazed how beautiful this documentary is.
For the Chicago Reader, I wrote a piece on a homegrown Chicago religion and its incredibly odd founder, Cyrus Teed. If you are into reading about religions that believe that heterosexual marriage is immoral and that the world is hollow, this story is for you.
