Shirley Clarke's adaptation of Warren Miller's 1959 novel, The Cool World was screened at the Venice Film Festival on 2 September 1963, where it was nominated for the Golden Lion.

Reviews were mixed, with some arguing that black filmmakers would be better qualified to bring the story of a Harlem gang to the screen, but The Cool World was seen as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress's National Film Registry to be preserved in 1994.

The film was produced by Frederick Wiseman, who also owns the rights and has never allowed the film to be released on home media formats.

“[Warren Miller’s] zany characters are made to bear a shadow likeness of much that is recognizable in the US today–a young nation’s yearning for swift solutions, the hope of impossible perfection, the lingering evangelical zeal of frontier religion, the fear that a great human dream has been laid waste in the pillaging of a rich continent for material well-being.” Timothy Foote’s review of Miller’s Looking for the General

(Robert W. Kelley. 1958?)

Artists Elevating Artists-Miss Americana Team

Taylor “Miss Americana” Swift has always sought to elevate other artists and their work. This post is to follow in her footsteps. Please LIKE AND SHARE to spread their names around! On team Miss Americana we have:

Director: Lana Wilson

Lana’s documentary work includes two-time Independent Spirit Award-nominated The Departure and the Emmy Award-winning After Tiller. The former tells the story of a Japanese punk-turned priest who functions as a suicide prevention resource to his community. The latter details the lives of the four most targeted abortion providers in the country. Both of these films taught her to approach her subject’s sensitive subject matter with respect and dignity. She said, “I learned so much about setting the stage for the comfort [of] the subject you’re filming with. Like how can I make it as easy as possible for them to participate in this film? How can I be as unobtrusive as possible? I would meet people and express how fascinated I am by what they’re going through, but also that I would approach this in a really gentle, compassionate way and that there are so many people around the world struggling with the same things that they’re struggling with and that it can be really meaningful to share stories that you otherwise wouldn’t talk about, [even] with the people you’re closest to in your life, but designing a vehicle for them to share their stories that could reach other people grappling with the same questions.”  Her experience spans from documentaries to short films and episodes as a director, producer, and writer.

Producer: Morgan Neville

Morgan Neville’s documentary 20 Feet From Stardom, which focuses on the lives of backup singers, earned him an Oscar for “Best Documentary Feature” and a Grammy for “Best Music Film.” He has also received an Independent Spirit Award for the Mister Rogers-based documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbour? His work as a producer, director, and writer spans across film and television. In an NPR interview about his documentary The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble he said, “The best thing about it for me as a filmmaker ... is that not only do I get to indulge my musical love, but that music is, to me, the most amazing Trojan horse to tell any other kind of story. The best music films are not about music ... Music is just the language we're speaking to tell a story about culture.”

Producer: Caitrin Rogers

Caitrin Rogers is an up-and-coming television and film producer and editor. She also received a “Best Documentary Feature” Oscar for her producing role in 20 Feet From Stardom. She also produced an Oscar-shortlisted documentary called The Tillman Story which details the death of U.S. Army Ranger Pat Tillman and the government’s coverup of the circumstances surrounding his death. Her most recent documentary producing credit is Netflix’s The Black Godfather which details the life and impact of music executive Clarence Avant.

Producer: Christine O’Malley

Christine O’Malley is a multi-nomination earning producer and writer. She co-founded O’Malley Creadon Productions, a full-scale LA-based media production company, with director and husband Patrick Creadon. Christine’s primary focus is documentary/documentary series. Her latest production credit was in Ski Bum: The Warren Miller Story which goes through the life and accomplishments of extreme sports documentarian Warren Miller.

I’m SO looking forward to seeing how this team will bring Taylor’s story to life! :D
