In this piece, New York Times reporter Margalit Fox, explains how a feature-length documentary about The Times’s obituaries desk came to be.
“[Director Vanessa Gould’s] concerns as a documentarian center on the life of the mind, the making of art and the painstaking process by which the two can be combined. “
“Obituary writers traffic in the macabre, but Vanessa Gould’s charming documentary about The New York Times’ scribes proves they are far more than their downbeat reputations imply.” – The Huffington Post

“Within the storied walls of The New York Times, a team of writers is entrusted with reflecting upon the lives of luminaries, icons, and world leaders of our day.

ROXIE THEATER, SAN FRANCISCO
We are proud to announce “Wendell and the Lemon” is an Official Selection at the San Francisco IndieFest 2016!
The film, nominated for Best Narrative Feature, screens at the ROXIE, San Francisco’s oldest continually operating theater:
SATURDAY, FEB. 20, 7:00 PM & THURSDAY, FEB 25, 9:15 PM.
“Lawrence Krauser’s Slamdance hit Wendall and the Lemon is unlike any film you have encountered and based on the directors novel Lemon, the first novel to be published by McSweeney’s Books. Recovering from a recent break-up, our zesty protagonist Wendell (Todd D’Amour) finds a lonely lemon on the street that quickly upends his entire life. Soon they are going on dates, long walks and snuggling in bed. Unable to separate himself from his citrus companion, he struggles with his co-workers unease and the realization that his beloved is beginning to decay.”
-Jennifer Junkyard Morris (SF IndieFest)
