I had the most magnificent weekend basking in the glory of mountains, meeting inspiring people, watching hopeful films, and catching up with old friends at Mountainfilm in Telluride, where I had the honor of screening my short doc 70-some Years.

DP Eric Phillips-Horst wrote up this post for No Film School about how he expertly shot Every Block, the film I directed for The New Yorker, using a Ronin attached to a Steadicam. It was super tricky and looks super nice!
