Ran into Dirt! The Movie co-director Gene Rosow on the festival shuttle Thursday afternoon. He was supposed to have arrived at the festival with his film in hand, but some post-production issues had waylaid him and he was eagerly waiting for his print to make it to Park City. Considering he’d been in a sound mix until 4:30am that morning, he was in remarkably good spirits.
Last year, one of my favorite docs of the festival was F.L.O.W., which looked at the state of water on the planet. Dirt! The Movie, inspired by William Bryant Logan’s acclaimed book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth, is described as "a humorous and substantial look into the history and current state of the living organic matter that we come from and will later return to." I'm looking forward to seeing it later in the festival.
