When we think of green energy, the first image that comes to mind are these large, beautiful, majestic windmills, spun by wind, generating clean, renewable power. Recently there has been quite a bit of debate in my home state of Massachusetts regarding a wind farm project on Nantucket Sound. Until seeing this film, I didn’t …
Joe Davis is a genius (most likely to the hindrance and detriment to what a lot of us would considered a quality life [though the whole eye-of-the-beholder thing probably applies, so I will concede that he may enjoy his life a lot more fully than I ever will, though I am a fairly happy guy]; …
When I sat down for ‘Green,’ I didn’t expect that I’d be watching a horror film. Green is not horror in the literal way, much of what occurs is internal, but writer/director Sophia Takal takes us there through great editorial and visual decisions. Genevieve (Kate Lyn Sheil) leaves her (suggested as pretentious) Brooklyn community so …
‘Cure for Pain: The Mark Sandman Story,’ is a memorial to Mark Sandman, the frontman of Boston based band ‘Morphine.’ The filmmakers were given complete access to the Sandman family’s archives, as well as to the band’s friends and family. ‘Morphine,’ began in Cambridge, MA, and was made up of Mark Sandman, Dana Colley, and …

Kevin Clash, Constance Marks, and Elmo answer questions from the audience at opening night of the Independent Film Festival of Boston. Elmo chimes in with what its like living on Sesame Street, and does his best impression of Barry White. ‘Being Elmo’ is an amazing film! SEE IT. Elmo comes in at the 2’40” mark! …
I honestly didn’t know what to expect. Everything I’d heard about ‘Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey’ had been positive, I’d heard it’d be moving, I’d heard it would make me cry. I can say with 100% certainty, ‘Being Elmo,’ moved me to tears. You spend most of the film smiling from ear to ear, and …
‘BEING ELMO: A Puppeteer’s Journey,’ an amazing new documentary chronicling the path of Kevin Clash, the man behind Elmo, kicked off the 9th Annual Independent Film Festival of Boston. With a sold out house, and Elmo in attendance, it was a great way to start off an amazing festival. This years fest features over 90 Narrative, Short, and Documentary …
Tonight begins my favorite part of living in Boston, the first night of the Independent Film Festival of Boston, and what better way to start it off then with ‘Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey.’ The film tells the story of puppeteer Kevin Clash, and his journey from a 9 year old inspired by Captain Kangaroo …
