Garrett Scott
I just learned the sad news that documentary filmmaker Garrett Scott died on Thursday, March 2. Because I've been out of town, I guess I missed this terrible news, but Eugene Hernandez has written an obituary for Scott, while Scott Macauley posts an article he wrote about Scott back in 2002, which is also a fitting tribute to an important voice in the independent film community.
While I didn't know Scott personally, the film he made with co-director Ian Olds, Occupation: Dreamland (my review), is one of the most important documents of the war I have seen, and I can think of no better tribute to Scott's work than to encourage others to watch this film, which is available for rental from Green Cine, Netflix, and other video rental sites.
