NewEnglandFilm.com writer Lorre Fritchy heads onto the set for her first series of interviews and footage.As you recall, in August I had a video shoot in Southern California, following

Reviews of "Run Like a Girl" and "Smile Pretty"Childhood isn't easy for anyone: social mores, mass media messages, issues of race, gender, sexuality, even survival. When one is an adult, these issues are tough enough.

Many of these pressures are gender specific, and this is where documentarian Carol Cassidy ("Baby read more... Old Glory: Restoring the Colonial Theater in Keene, NHWed, 09/01/1999 - 00:00Posted in

the Keene, NH, theater is almost fully renovated. Since opening on January 29, 1924, the

Filmmaker David Sutherland talks about the impact of this film on the filmmakers and the nation.
New England filmmakers David and Nancy Sutherland bring the seductive nature of filmmaking
and its promise of success into the realm of real life. Nothing about David or Nancy, or
their home gives away the fact that their recent film, "The Farmer's Wife,"
seems to have single-handedly unified today's fragmented cable audience, captivated a
detached, cynical public, and changed lives forever. Vital Video in WilliamstownWed, 09/01/1999 - 00:00

a review of "Outside Providence"I now live in the town where I went to college, and with the turn of season I've found
myself drawn back to the school. Spotting a copy of "Derrida and Feminism"
nestled in a backpack snapped me out of it, but "Outside Providence" is the
perfect movie for anyone contemplating lost youth. Or maybe it's not. It brings into sharp
relief the things you might miss. read more... Have You Seen Andy?Wed, 09/01/1999 - 00:00Posted in

Filmmaker Melanie Perkins turns the camera inward for a film about the disappearance of her childhood friend, Andy."Everybody, all of us, filter the world through our own experiences," says filmmaker Melanie Perkins. It's only fitting, then, that after ten years of working on documentaries for outlets ranging from "Nova" to "The American Experience," she has now focused the camera inward to examine one of the most traumatic events in her life.
