A DocDay premiere.<br /><br />http://<a href="http://http://www.sundancechannel.com/films/500252338">www.sundancechannel.com/films/500252338</a><br /><br />I have to say I am bit nervous, excited and curious. I wonder what will be the the response by the public audience. I wonder how mental health professionals will react to the film. I wonder how Sam will respond, if he watches it.<br /><br />Sam's mother and sister have seen A SUMMER IN THE CAGE and have been outrageously supportive and generous. But we all think about Sam in this, even as we are trying to use the film as a jump off for advocacy. The conundrum that the film could provide some community and relief for those afflicted and their families, but not Sam weighs on us.<br /><br />This dilemma takes me back to some of the questions this film raised for me in the first place...when do you turn the camera off? I still am not sure how to answer that.<br /><br />We had a screening of the film at Tribeca Cinemas in Manhattan sponsored by the IFP. After the screening, there was a Q&amp;A and I was asked how the making of this film will shape my approach to documentary filmmaking in the future. I said and felt that I would need to be even more fierce in the future. Again, from a filmmaking standpoint there is no question to that assertion. Yet these are still human stories being told and respect for them is imperative. I still have not resolved these questions.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4817548122302533089-6266169828074221772?l=cagethemovie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cage The Moviehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01858573383338255778noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4817548122302533089.post-60094406979815506362007-10-17T09:02:00.000-07:002007-10-17T09:07:07.103-07:00Recently the Huffington Post posted a blog from me regarding mental health.<br /><br />http://<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ben-selkow/a-summer-in-the-cage_b_68697.html">www.huffingtonpost.com/ben-selkow/a-summer-in-the-cage_b_68697.html</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4817548122302533089-6009440697981550636?l=cagethemovie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cage The Moviehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01858573383338255778noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4817548122302533089.post-71986356438740233602007-08-06T09:10:00.000-07:002007-08-06T09:11:48.553-07:00Stay tuned, the <a href="http://cagethemovie.com/">Summer in the Cage</a> blog is coming soon!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4817548122302533089-7198635643874023360?l=cagethemovie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cage The Moviehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01858573383338255778noreply@blogger.com1
