I had the pleasure of being on the jury for the Nashville Film Festival this week and though I was tapped to judge the short narrative category I still had a chance to catch a few films here and there and meet some very interesting filmmakers whose work I greatly admire.  Among them “Hoop Dreams” filmmaker Steve James, who was in attendance with his latest doc “At The Death House Door” James has never made anything resembling a bad film and the amount of time he spends capturing his subjects and the daunting amount of footage he shoots during the filmmaking process has long impressed me. Also, in attendance was Ondi Timoner who logged no less than seven years in the making of her film “Dig” and if you’ve seen that film and weren’t at least moderately entertained than you’re seriously missing out on one of the more exhilarating rock documentaries the medium has to offer.  Throw a Damon Packard film into the mix (it’s worth googling him if you don’t know the name) and you’ve got a couple of thumbs up and all smiles from me. Another good year for movies in Doc’s home town of Nashville.
