Today's short is the trailer for Barney's Wall (FoxHog Productions LLC), a documentary currently in post-production. A homage to censorship-buster and free-speech fighter Barney Rosset (1922-2012) of Grove Press and Evergreen Review, it was shot in Rosset's New York City loft and features artists, filmmakers, musicians, writers and editors, and many more who crossed paths with the publisher. Its window into Rosset's story is the huge autobiographical mural he painted on his loft's wall.
The filmmakers are producer-directors Sandy Gotham Meehan and Williams Cole and cinematographer David Leitner.
The project's Kickstarter campaign ends April 23.
