Yay! Can't wait to see that in half a year or so.
Good title for the rolling 2018 doc thread.

felt the same way about Country Boys tbh
Blurred Lines: Inside the Art World is an okay introduction to the money end of art--auctions, dealers, etc.--that covers a lot of the same ground as Anthony Haden-Guest's True Colors. A few film clips are mixed in, including two from Woody Allen: the great Jackson Pollock scene from Play It Again, Sam, and one from Midnight in Paris, which I haven't seen. But somehow they overlooked Daniel Stern and Max Von Sydow in Hannah and Her Sisters! Love that scene: "I'm looking for something big...I got a lot of wall space."

I really want to see it after your previous post, but I don't know if it got an opening here--our 100% documentary theatre usually catches everything for at least one screening, but I can see where a non-descript title like that might have slipped by my notice.

you can watch it on the PBS streaming site, if you do that
i agree about the title -- it sounds like it's about taking care of a dolphin named Bertie or something but that's not what it's about at all!

Anyone seen Escapes, Michael Almereyda's Hampton Fancher doc from last year? I don't know anything about the release status of it; I just came across it on Letterboxd.
