As I mentioned a while back, I covered Hot Docs and Tribeca for the International Documentary Association’s International Documentary magazine. I also wrote articles for their ezine. Both the bi-monthly ezine and the monthly print magazine are member benefits but the great folks at IDA are making the content available online in archives, which I’m very happy to report. So, you can read my ezine coverage from Hot Docs, “Pitching and Wooing at the Toronto Documentary Forum” and Tribeca, “Beyond Spider Man Documentary Gems Glisten at Tribeca.”

My “Festival Focus” articles for the magazine will be in the September issue on newsstands in mid-August. Special thanks to Tom White, Sandra Ruch and diane estelle Vicari for their unending support and kindness. At a time when folks are questioning the value of professional service organizations, my experience has been that they are people who will bend over backwards to help when they are able, and that is no small thing when all roads seem uphill in indie film.
