LA Book Launch for How Documentaries Work

Thanks to everyone who came out to the LA book launch party for my brand new book How Documentaries Work, published by Oxford University Press. The American Film Institute hosted the affair and my former teacher Farrel Levy, ACE introduced me to a packed house of over 70 attendees.

Momentum from the book launches in Tucson and LA have propelled the book to the #1 New Release in the Documentary Movies category on Amazon.
