Broken Egg: Help Fix a Filmmaker
Independent film is all about community, and one of our own is having a rough time of it!
Slamdance two time alum Benh Zeitlin (EGG & THE ORGINS OF ELECTRICITY) was in a bone-cracking car accident before the SXSW screening of his new short. Like many filmmakers who get by on charm and favors, Benh doesn’t have health insurance and is currently holed up in the hospital.
Mark Rosenberg from Rooftop Films, which co-funded Benh's SXSW short GLORY AT SEA, posted a blog about Benh’s story, his successes with GLORY and eventually, what people out there can do to show support. Please check it out, and see how you can lead a hand to a super talented filmmaker.
The good news is that GLORY also won an award, which you can read about here!
