I am thrilled to share the “The New Yorker Theater: A Talbot Legacy” will have its New York premiere at DOC NYC. We couldn’t be more excited to bring this film to a hometown audience.

Woodstock Film Festival here we come! It’s one of my favorite festivals and now is my local one. I premiered my short film “Gone Before Your Eyes” there two years ago, and now we’re excited to screen “The New Yorker Theater” there this October.

Congrats to director Jennifer McShane & DP Scott Ruderman on being shortlisted for the Oscars for their short doc, “The Quilters.” This film is a moving portrait of maximum security inmates making quilts for children in the foster care system. #oscarshortlist #shortdoc #35mm #filmphoto

Unless you live somewhere like Canada where there’s public funding for the arts and then it can be more sustainable.

Cara Yeates @carayeates.bsky.social · Dec 6

As do all theater artists.

My friend Jacqueline Baylon’s short documentary is now playing on POV. It’s a compelling film about a Moroccan father’s struggles to repatriate his son’s remains after he drowned while trying to cross to Spain.

I watched. It’s pretty middle of the row pretending to be prestige content. But I was entertained.
