Ashland Independent Film Festival honors Albert Maysles
Over the weekend Mr. Maysles was honored with the 2008 AIFF Lifetime Achievement Award.
I had the privilege of spending
some quality time with one of the world's most celebrated documentary filmmaker, Albert Maysles.
No matter where he sat he held court. He welcomed filmmakers and audiences to join him and share their stories. He is not only an excellent storyteller but an incredible listener. I realize now that when I watch his documentaries I too am a good listener....
We talked about his films and IndieFlix- stay tuned...
He embraces new models in distribution and is so 21st century.
He totally gets it!
Cheers to you Albert!
We will also be telling you more about the Maysles Institute - A Summer Program For Harlem Youth
