Also, check out this story (here) on Snag Films, the company that’s distributing the film for free online. They’re trying to help documentary filmmakers reach a broader audience.

Am I the only one ?
I saw a documentary on Eggleston on Netflix. Free with your subscript. FYI
Available in the US and Canada only it seems.
I love this doc.
I have watched it many times.
My fav quote from it is
“Art, or what they call that… you can love it, you can appreciate it. but, you can’t really talk about it.. doesn’t make sense.”
Trailer for a new doc on him can been seen here

Wow. This was a treat. Eggleston is a rockstar as far as I’m concerned.
Love this doc.
Esp. the alcohol induced discourse and of course watching Eggleston use his craft.

It’s extremely interesting to see how the artists that you admire live and work… This is a very cool glimpse of an artist who’s work is difficult to put words to and we find out why from his mouth. Definitely recommend this to any photog!
i bought this doc a while back and really love watchin one of my favorite photographers work, but the film itself is almost too haphazard and i kinda wish the filmmaker wasnt so much a part of the film. but alas, it seems a worthy cost to watch eggleston do his thing
an absolute must see for any photographer!!
What are those cameras does he uses?
