 20051107 Bodysong
 I am flipping out about Bodysong, a film that I describe as The Koyaanasquatsi of the human body. I realize that's a shoddy summary if you haven't seen Koyaanasquatsi -- so even more simply, it's 83 minutes of seeing humans (yourself) in ways you have never seen before. It can be an intense, hypnotic, violent, or emotional experience, underlined with a musical score most incredibly composed by Radiohead's Johnny Greenwood. Bodysong was released in 2004, but only became available on DVD this past summer. My friend Meg gave it me as a gift, and much like a Gospel, I have been screening the film for friends almost a few times weekly. I will be hosting a showing this Wednesday at 10:30pm. Email me to save a spot. Otherwise, I suggest you make time to see it on your own. Netflix has it in stock. 5

I wish I could come to the screening! 5:16 PM mk said... was the screening better-received than when I saw it? 1:55 PM Zach said... It was wonderful -- we made it through the birthing scenes with ease! 5:24 PM Eliot said... A. I wish I were friends with you in real life. B. Thank you for the suggestion. It's on my next-to-see list. C. My boss (Fred Seibert of Frederator) recently worked with your pal, Jacob, whom I'd known about simply from following your blog for a while now. Does that make me more or less creepy? 11:29 PM Post a Comment |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
