Projections 11: New York Film-makers on Film-making

Book published by Faber & Faber (2000). Format: paperback, 6 x 9 inches, 334 pages.

As the birthplace of U.S. cinema, New York has played a hugely influential role in its evolution—particularly in the realm of more personal, “independent” filmmaking of figures from Sam Fuller to John Cassavetes. For the 11th installment of Faber & Faber’s “Projections” series, I conducted interviews with a range of filmmakers based in New York, creating an East coast alternative to Hollywood. The book’s subjects included Spike Lee, Wes Anderson, Jim Jarmusch, David O. Russell, Frances McDormand, Sidney Lumet, Harmony Korine, Christine Vachon, Nora Ephron, and Tim Robbins. MORE INFO
