Loaded in a documentary?


Snock 'N Roll: Adventures With Michael Hurley from Marc Israel on Vimeo.

A little while ago I was contacted by a documentary film maker from the States by the name of Marc Israel. He was working on a new project titled "Snock 'N Roll: Adventures With Michael Hurley". He saw a video clip I posted on youtube of some footage I taped at a Cat Power show last summer and wanted to incorporate it into his film. The film focuses on Michael Hurley, an American Folk Singer who's songs have been covered by many artists including Cat Power, Yo La Tango, Violent Femmes, Lucinda Williams and more. The clip is ultra short found about 16 min in. Marc was super nice to talk to, sent me a copy of one of his full length films "NEARER MY GOD TO THEE: Filmmaker encounters John of God & Self" and included me in the credits. I was happy to help out.
