06.25.09The Documentary Blog is Now on TwitterAs you may have noticed, we've been trying to redesign The Documentary Blog a little bit as of late, with a focus on making it easier to update on a regular basis. We want to be the best source for documentary films on the web, but in order to do that we need to be able to cover a lot more stuff. This is why we've decided to start up a Twitter account and integrate it with the rest of the blog's content. Now we'll be able to post short headlines and links to the site quickly, while also writing up ...

01.16.09The DocBlog at Sundance…...for three days. It's better than nothing, no? I'm currently in my hotel room in Salt Lake City with my fellow Film Junk podcast host Sean Dwyer. We've spent our first day at Sundance sorting out our press passes, eating and DVD shopping. (Picked up Doug Pray's 'Surfwise'. Been waiting to see that.) Over the next two days, we hope to squeeze in as many movies as we possibly can; some of which will certainly be documentaries. Actually, our very first screening is James Toback's documentary 'Tyson' tomorrow at 8:30am. Early as hell, but should be good. I'm also hoping to ...

09.03.08In House: Toronto International Film Festival and After Dark Film FestivalI haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd just catch you up with what I've been up to. The blogging has taken a back seat (let's face it, it's always taken a back seat) to some projects I've been working on lately. The biggest one being a short horror film I'm shooting over the next month or so. We've shot the first scene and it went well. I'll keep you guys posted. Secondly, me and Sean are going to be checking out a few films at this years Toronto International Film Festival. We split a ten pack of tickets ...

08.18.08Temporary Loss of Domain Name = One Week OfflineSorry, guys. Looks like my domain name registry expired and the site went offline. The annoying thing is my username and password weren't working to get into my account to renew my domain. Also, my email address changed recently, so all of the warnings must've been going to my old address. LAME. Anyways, we're back on now, and I'll have some new content up very soon. Thanks for being patient!

07.07.08YIKES. Back Online.So here's the thing. The Documentary Blog has been down since sometime Saturday. Definitely not good. The reason? Last week I wrote an article for Film Junk called 'Viscerally Speaking: 10 Modern Action Scenes That Shook My Reality', and apparently it made it to the front page of Digg, thus setting forth the much talked about 'Digg Effect'. The traffic hammered Film Junk, shutting it down completely. Unfortunately, The Documentary Blog went down with it due to the fact that we're hosted by the same hosting...company? I'm not entirely sure how it works. All I know is we're back up ...

07.01.08Autism: The Musical Contest WinnerCongratulations to Lalley Gartel (a fan of Paul Stanley's portrayal of The Phantom of the Opera) who's just won a copy of Autism: The Musical! There was quite a bit of love for Stanley's performance as the Phantom, but overall it seems people enjoy Michael Crawford's performance best. Personally, I'm a Colm Wilkinson man, simply because the two times I saw the musical in grade school, he was the man behind the mask. Thanks again to those who entered, and stay tuned for the next Documentary Blog contest!
