RECOMMENDATION: Sons of Perdition DVD

Joshua Ligairi » 11.29.11 »

New today on DVD: SONS OF PERDITION, a fascinating look into the lives of boys exiled from Warren Jeffs' polygamous compound. The film is directed by Jennilynn Merten and my friend Tyler Measom. It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, it was distributed by the Oprah Winfrey Network, and it informed the Texas Attorney Generals as they built a case against Warren Jeffs. Interesting movie and a portion of DVD proceeds go to victims of polygamy. Win, win.



Actually, I just remembered that we also interviewed these guys for The Documentary Blog podcast. So, check that conversation out here. Buy the DVD here and spread the word!

PRESS: City Weekly interviews Tyler Measom

So, this is not actually press from one of our films, but I'm posting this interview for a couple reasons. First, because I love the film it is advertising and the filmmakers who made that film. Second, because they were kind enough to give us a shout-out toward the end of the interview. I highly recommend checking out Sons of Perdition, which is out on DVD as of today.

PODCAST: Escape from the compound

This is great podcast episode. Besides getting to brag about our inclusion on The Top 10 Movie Podcasts list by USA Today's Pop Candy, getting to mock Charlotte for her Justin Bieber documentary fandom, and getting to plug my new project with Apocalypse Radio, we also had the chance to speak to some really nice local filmmakers about their international hit polygamy documentary, Sons of Perdition. Charlotte's official write-up is below, but check out the site for the complete show notes (which include links to everything we talk about on the show) and don't forget to subscribe on iTunes.

It’s hard to believe we’re at episode 11 of the podcast already! This time Josh and I talk to the directors of Sons of Perdition, Tyler Measom and Jennilyn Merten, and discuss the True/False Film Festival, Josh’s latest project, a live-streaming Apocalypse Radio concert and my newfound love for Justin Bieber. This was one of the most fun podcasts I’ve had the chance to be on so far and we really hope you enjoy it (and I apologise in advance for any audible sniffing, as I had the flu during recording).
