B-Side Takes DiP Alum TRUST US
Bryan Poyser | Nov 20, 2009 | Comments 1
Alex Karpovsky’s TRUST US, THIS IS ALL MADE UP, which screened as a Doc-in-Progress back in September of last year, has been picked up for distribution by B-Side. You’re probably familiar with B-Side if you’ve gone to a film festival in the last couple years, as they do the back-end scheduling for over 200 festivals, including Fantastic Fest and the Austin Film Festival. 
They’ve begun distributing films, too, like David Modigliani’s CRAWFORD and the Zach Galifianakis-starring VISIONEERS. Now, they’ve added to their slate Karpovsky’s “concert film” of a performance by the frankly mesmerizing long-form improvisation duo of TJ Jagodowski and David Pasquesi. The film premiered at SXSW earlier this year and has screened at festivals around the country since.
On their website, you can to find a screening of the film, host your own, pre-order the DVD and connect with all things TJ & Dave.
