Heading out to LA this week for the Independent Spirit Awards where Menashe is nominated for Best First Feature. My goal is to get a selfie with Kumail Nanjiani. I just think he is swell. Above is a photo of Menashe holding a special jury prize from the Deauville American Film Festival. I wanted to let him display it in his apartment for a few months, but instead he just wanted to point at it.

Menashe premieres Monday 3pm, January 23rd 2017 at the Egyptian Theater.
Look for more information at the Sundance website.

Just made this film for The New York Times that has been causing quite a stir.

Comments on the site include:

“SHAME ON THE NY TIMES FOR PUBLISHING THIS!”

“You weren’t flying, Joshua. They kicked you in the head.”

“I firmly disagree with Mr. Weinstein; this isn’t public theater (as he so fondly labels it), but anarchy.”

Take a watch and decide for yourself.

Thank you for the WAFFLE crew for making this possible, Kyle Graffam for editing, Seth Ricart for coloring, Jorge Bailon for sound design, Lindsay Mann for loaning the Red Epic, and Don Hooper for location sound. Send me an email to see the final higher rez version.
