I saw “We Live in Public” on Wednesday, documentary night at Stamford’s independent movie theatre “The Tre.” Here’s what I wrote in miphone walking home: In 1993 this guy started an internet TV channel allowing people at home to chat with the host on air, which you see on every news show nowadays. He also predicted the whole social networking thing, but was 10 years too early, and he went down…hard. key takeaway: timing is everything.

After watching “We Live in Public” I didn’t feel as guilty about filming the below…in public.
The director of “We Live in Public,” Ondi Timoner, also directed DiG! in 2004. From Wikipedia: “Timoner was simultaneously financing, producing, directing, and editing DIG!, which chronicles seven years of the lives of two neo-psychedelic bands, The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. After its release in 2004, the film won the Grand Jury Prize 2004 at the Sundance Film Festival, and is now part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.”
