The second event covered was the Virtuosos Award with Michael Shannon, Viola Davis, Richard Jenkins, Rosemarie DeWitt and Melissa Leo!

Artsweek Review: Don Hertzfeldt's I Am So Proud Of You

Q&A after the show

My second article for Artsweek, I covered the premiere of Don Hertzfeldt's new film I Am So Proud Of You. Don is a film studies graduate of UCSB so it's cool that he comes back often to show us something special like this before anyone else.
