Got ANYTOWN, USA in the mail yesterday

Film Movement's got good graphic design sense, I like how they package their DVDs (in a clear case, two sided insert, a good amount of white space on the cover/front of the insert, and the actual DVD itself looks very respectable - just the series & flick title & web site URL on one color background - overall simple, elegant & colorful). Plus they have good taste in movies, I liked the last Film Movement flick I saw. So it is always exciting to find a Film Movement DVD in my mail for review. I received the documentary Anytown, USA yesterday. Looking forward to checking it out this month.

In the meantime, here is Anytown, USA's description, at least some of it from the back of the DVD case:
"A funny and eye-opening look into a hard-fought mayoral race between a legally blind, blunt-speaking, conservative Republican incumbent, a retired Democrat brought back into the fray and a legally blind write-in candidate, in the small town of Bogota, New Jersey."

Sounds more interesting than most fiction movies.

Here is the website for the movie.

Introduce us to your favorite painters & paintings.

There's a PBS (i think) show on French painters right now. Other, older, forms of art, & the people who made them, can be inspirational & useful for filmmakers I think. I've learned a lot from indie rock (some aesthetic stuff, lots of bidness stuff), maybe I can learn stuff from painting too. So in July & August I am going to blog about painters & I would like you to comment & tell us about your favorite painters & other interesting stuff about painting. Painting is thousands of years old. Filmmaking is a little over 100 years old. US Indie filmmaking as we know it is perhaps a little over 50 years old (w/ the beginning somewhere around the time when the Cassavetes generation got its inspiration/started work). Us new indie filmmakers - the digital/web/DIY generation, can probably learn a lot by taking a look at/getting to know, painting & other older art forms. I'll start w/ Edward Hopper . Here's page w/ a lot of info on him. His most famou...
