		<title>The Hierarchy of Contemporary Communication</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m constantly amazed at how many people have such a hard time catching on to the various forms of available communication, and don&#8217;t realize what is appropriate usage for each of them. There are ways of reaching out to people that require very little research to find out an address, and those are the places [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Proud Dad</title>

I&#8217;m ecstatic to report that my son Jeff&#8217;s feature documentary &#8220;11/4/08&#8243; will have its World Premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in March.

		<title>A Tale of Two (New York) Comedies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I made a rare trip south of 14th Street to see a double feature of &#8220;Where&#8217;s Poppa&#8221; and &#8220;Little Murders&#8221; at Film Forum. The minute I spotted this particular program on the Film Forum schedule, I marked it on my calendar in spite of the fact that I own both films on DVD and have seen [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Open Letter to Senator Lieberman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted share with everyone a note that my wife posted on Lieberman&#8217;s web site. I urge everyone to bombard him with your own thoughts on the matter..
Dear Sen. Lieberman,

		<title>A Successful Non-Traditional Theatrical Model</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Spring I was approached by the filmmakers of a documentary film called &#8220;Who Does She Think She Is&#8221; about using Emerging Pictures to distribute and exhibit their film. The film is a moving exploration of the difficulties women have in being taken seriously as artists. It had already had some modest theatrical exposure, and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Memories on the 15th Anniversary of Hoop Dreams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fifteen years. Hard to believe.
&#8220;Hoop Dreams&#8221; is such an important milestone in my life that absorbing the fact that it has been fifteen years since its release makes me feel very old.

		<title>More Venting about Film Synopses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I tweeted my frustration about the synopses I&#8217;ve been finding in the web for indie films. I decided to use more than the 160 characters of Twitter to vent a little further. The context is that we play a lot of independent films at Emerging Cinemas, and once a month we collect info on [...]]]></description>
