The Color Wheel

So, I went to see The Color Wheel at BAM and it was terrific.  I went partially because I love awkward comedies and partially because this film is made by a friend of mine, the very talented Carlen Altman.  But mainly I’m excited about it because of a quote in the New York Times by the director Alex Ross Perry that sort of summed up why this film is great and worth seeing.

“I’ve never understood the lack of risk taking in this milieu of films that are self-financed,” he said. “Anybody who’s asking their family or friends for help to make their film: Why wouldn’t you make that film as crazy and personal as possible?”

If you are in New York, seriously do yourself a favor and check it out a BAM.  It’s totally worth it.
