I just about wet my pants when I just saw Oskar Fischinger speaking to Jules Engel. That's some powerful Facebooking!

I can hardly imagine how wonderful it will be for everyone to have Jules' films so easily available for the pure pleasure of them but also to screen in the classroom. And then to have in the "back pocket" a little documentary to remember clearly our Jules again. Oh, the magic of filmmaking.

This is a special gift. Thanks go to Larry Cuba, indeed. Larry Cuba is the Founding Chair of the Board of Directors and is also now the Director of iotaCenter; and Stephanie Sapienza is the Assistant Director and Production Manager of this DVD.
