Sundance snapshot | San Fran, Filmmaker, and Harvey


At the San Francisco Film Society party, exec director Graham Leggatt with the Kenneth Raimin Foundation's Jen Raimin, and Creative Capital's Ruby Lerner.

Just before the IFC Breakfast, Filmmaker Mag editor Scott Macaulay and with "Medicine for Melancholy" helmer Barry Jenkins, who graces the cover of the next mag.



The inauguration didn't stop the deal-making at Sundance's Meet the Funders event, where filmmaker jostled for the attention of POV and Al Jazeera, among others.


Outside the Claimjumper, Harvey Weinstein was dressing down someone on his cell, jacketless and pissed.  We approached for an interview, waiting for the right time.  But as his phone conversation became more heated, the moment grew more awkward as he eyed us suspiciously.  We suddenly remembered we had something to do and quickly ran away.

I usually don’t post in Blogs but your blog forced me to, amazing work.. beautiful …

No interview but a picture during an angry phone call. Like TMZ for Execs. Excellent!
