Dear All, I'm thrilled to announce the digital premiere of my 2019 feature documentary *Work Songs* (showing with my 2000 short *Happy?*) streaming May 8-31 at the stupendous Maysles Documentary Center*. *These films are streaming as part of the month long series *Le Joli Maysles*, celebrating the lovely month of May with films in conversation with the seminal 1963 film Le Joli Mai by Chris Marker. Join me with some of the other filmmakers for a Zoom q and a session on Saturday May 23 at 4 PM. Info on the series and how to stream the film below:
