"Herb and Dorothy" goes to Arthouse
Gotham-based Arthouse Films has nabbed worldwide rights to Megumi Saski's docu "Herb and Dorothy" for an early 2009 theatrical release.
Pic is about a postal clerk and a librarian who slowly amassed a large contemporary art collection over 30 years, stuffing over 4000 pieces of art into their tiny apartment. The collection is now worth millions.
"Herb and Dorothy" preemed at AFI SilverDocs Film Festival and recently pocket both best doc and the audience award kudos at the Hamptons Intl. Film Festival.
Arthouse Film specializes in artist-based docs. Other titles include "The Universe of Keith Haring," "Rem Koolhaas - A Kind of Architect," and "A Walk into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory."
Michael Jones is the film festival editor at Variety.com. 
OT: I just found out that Wild Bunch will be screening a teaser for Woody Allen''s next Whatever Works (Starring Larry David and Evan Rachel Wood)at the American Film Market on Nov 5th. Since you had a little scoop last year with the teaser of Vicky Cristina Barcelona I was wondering if you will be attending this year... Thanks.
