Summer in the City

Hola DOC fans, Chris here, nestled deep within the valley of the DOC. It’s been a long hot week here in Nashville, with our temperature hanging out at 100 degrees or so. But you’ll be pleased to know we’re all staying hydrated. The extreme heat has driven at least yours truly even deeper into my centrally air-conditioned movie watchin’ hidey hole. It’s been great! I’ve seen all manner of cool stuff, some of which has kindly been filtered my way by some very cool folks like Ms. Linda Park of the SXSW festival who sent her friend, filmmaker Marina Zenovich my way. Marina’s docs “Independents Day” and “Who is Bernard Tapie” give me a pretty serious warm fuzzy during a day otherwise filled with sweatiness and weather based grumpiness. It was also my pleasure to have a chance to take a look at newcomer Seth Gordon’s debut doc, the soon-to-be a massive cult-hit “King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters” which I not only firmly stamp with the Chris Dortch seal of approval, but endorse whole heartedly as a young man who is on about the 11th step of battling a serious Ms. Pac Man addiction (I can’t help it! Bouncing fruit and ghosts! Good times!). So that’s enough outta me for now. I hope you’ll seek out Seth and Marina’s films for yourself as well as check out our Featured Doc Maker piece about Seth and his film HERE. Be sure and stay tuned for a piece about Marina’s film “Independents Day,” probably up on the site and ready for your admiration within a day or two. And now gentle readers I bid you adieu with warm wishes that you stay cool.
