I just saw the show that he shot for The Ex.
Kudos for Instrument of course.
NC!

Very indifferent. His video for REM's Talk About the Passion was good, however.

I like his short pieces that are added to the Instrument dvd. The one with the birds, the one with the glue sniffers. Beautiful.

I think he has a definite aesthetic, and I like it. Or, love it.

I just wish I could find more of his stuff to watch.

NOT CRAP

He's teaching a class at one of the schools I work at.

Either people are really, really excited about the fact he's teaching, or they have no idea who he is and why they should care.

Really like Instrument. Have yet to see much of anything else.

He should really put out a DVD compilation of his short films.

Really gritty, honest, fly-on-the-wall stuff that is just great.

He's an artist I'm pretty sure I'd get along with.

And he's a good filmmaker.

Jem Cohen, you are N/C.

A whole lotta squares go to college.

And I'm not just talking about kids who don't know who Jem Cohen is.

This is an art school, so this statement is doubly true.

Someday we can swap stories. Haha. Cheers!
