The film behind the festival

Last night on HBO the documentary TV JUNKIE was on HBO. It's a film directed by AFI Dallas Artistic Director Michael Cain. It also won a special jury prize at Sundance. I love that this festival is being run by active filmmakers, it makes them understand the experience from a unique and important perspective. I had to passionately argue for this film to included in AFI FEST because some of my co-workers could not see past the "synergy" aspects of this programming choice to recognize that this was actually one of the best docs made that year. Throw it on your netflix list right now if you haven't seen it.
