I Really Think They’re Dancing – ISLAND OF LEMURS: MADAGASCAR
Got a chance to screen Island of Lemurs: Madagascar, it has no relation to the hilarious computer animated Dreamworks animals we’ve come to love, but it’s smart marketing to make you wonder because of the name. Island of Lemurs: Madagascar is a documentary on the real creatures who have been here practically since the beginning of time, scientists believe they survived the meteors that killed the dinosaurs and drifted from Africa on a little chunk of island to the bigger island of Madagascar located in the western Indian Ocean.

Favorite Moments: BOYHOOD
How I wish I could have filmed the last 12-15 years of my life, because I swear it often feels like I've done nothing, barely enjoyed myself, have made no progress, can't think of a single anecdote to tell and the small significant moments of in-significances, just don't seem to be stored in my brain...
