One of the few photographer attempts at film that is actually interesting to non-Bruce Weber fanatics too... full of life and people with stories playfully interjected with kind visual vignettes of youths and dogs at play. I had the opportunity of interviewing with Nan and Bruce once and Little Bear offices felt like being inside someone's home... lunch was being prepared and the savory scents floated in the wood and leather outfitted rooms -it was like a family. In Chop Suey, it's such a privilege to be invited to behind the scenes of such a master of color as well as black and white photography. Looking at his photographs I've always wanted to smile, close my eyes and dive right in. Up and comer DP's such as Shane Sigler and Theo Stanley have emerged from Little Bear. What happenstance that the fashion documentary, Ralph Rucci: A Designer and His House was broadcast prior to Chop Suey tonight... Theo Stanley was DP on Rucci. WASW
Chop Suey playing this month on Sundance Channel. An award winner at the Berlin Film Festival, 2001. Lance Acord was cinematographer who went on to DP Lost in Translation, Adaptation, Marie Antoinette and Where The Wild Things Are... there must be a Weber-Coppola-Jonze cool story with that.
