NY Times Article # 1 "You Are Not I" by Sara Driver.

NY Times Article Review

I found both articles to be very interesting. There’s nothing like unearthing a long lost film with a cult following especially since I like cult items. Sara Driver’s adaptation of Bowles’ “You Are Not I” sounds to be a likely short that would appeal to the underground and film student crowd. The fact that people still want to see this film shows that nothing ever really disappears it just goes away for a while. Just like a trend in a decade it does come back, but sometimes in an altered form, and of course the altered form in this case is a better copy that has been discovered to still exist of “You Are Not I”. The story itself has a mass appeal, which would explain a constant interest.

Not everyone can make a film and when you use every cent you have that says you’re serious about what you’re doing. You know it’s an independent film when the director uses a good amount of friends to help get the job done. I mean who can afford to pay especially at today’s union rates and SAG actor rates also.
