TRAILER: Jay Cheel's Beauty Day
Jay Cheel, my co-host over at The Documentary Blog Podcast, has released the first trailer for his documentary film, Beauty Day about a beautiful loser named Cap'n Video. I think the trailer is incredible and the rough-cut scenes I've seen from the film are even better.
The film premieres at MoMA next month as part of their Canadian Film Exhibition and has some pretty awesome screenings coming up including HotDocs! So awesome. What an incredible start to a film's run and a filmmaker's career.
For more info on the film, see Jay's posts at FilmJunk.com or TheDocumentaryBlog.com. You can also follow Jay and the film on Twitter, become a fan on Facebook, or check out the official Beauty Day website.
