I began "On The Cutting Edge" for showcasing the harder-to-find documentaries from Werner Herzog's "Wheel of Time" and "White Diamond," (2005) to Errol Morris "Capturing Reality: The Art of Documentary, (2008)". The purpose behind this group is to discuss and reveal some of cinema's lesser known titles (for an example: "Henri Langlois: Phantom of the Cinematheque") never made a wider audience other then a few art house's across the country.

In the group will open an invitation to documentary filmmakers, authors, historians, film critics and the movie fanatic give thoughts and critisims about the films that never get any notice from the general mainstream press. Over the years, I've provided a particular small media forum for filmmakers that get under our radar screen (click below). The meetup itself is based around the subject(s) on the program (including the works of Robert Gardner, etc.). Hey, if you are a true Documentarian and want to see those 'underground treasures' of yesteryear? So, join us and let's talk Docs together.

Note: If you are a member of the press, please e-mail me about attending the screening.

The group will watch a documentary, have a discussion on the film itself at the conclusion of the screening. Then delve into some movie talk with a film critic, documentary filmmaker, or an historian, etc. If you have a passion for movies and don't mind endless chatter about 'undiscovered documentaries', then fellow film fans I proudly welcome you to my Meetup.
