Neil Young - Haskell Wexler - Teatro Session
Music Producer
In the video John Hanlon, producer/recording engineer says: "Neil just captures the moment, he gives it his all, he goes for the throat. If he is not feeling it, he ain't gonna pick up the guitar. If he's feeling music, then he is recording, he's playing and I am recording it because that's what art is, capturing the movement, all the human imperfections, that is what it is about always. He is the commensurate artist, we get first takes on everything, that's the idea, cuz that's often times the best stuff. If you have to think about it that's not creating, that's thinking, then it doesn't work, it doesn't have that passion."
Dangerous Living: Coming Out in the Developing World
Cinematography
A feature-length documentary that explores the immense changes that occurred for gays, lesbians and transgender people living in the Global South. In the last decade of the 20th Century, a new heightened visibility began spreading throughout the developing world and the battles between families, fundamentalist religions, and governments around sexual and gender identity had begun. But in the West, few people knew about this historic social upheaval, until 52 men on Cairo’s Queen Boat discothèque were arrested for crimes of debauchery. That explosive story focused attention to the lives and trials of gay people coming out in the developing world and the film chronicles those events.
