If you are in the film, theater or tv business, you should definitely check out Yale Hollywood and its very interesting “Summit” in New York. If you decide to attend, you will be able to attend a panel that includes our very own Ira Sachs. For those of you who don’t know what Ira has been up to, let me fill you in.
Ira and moved to New York after graduating from Yale with a BA in Literature and Film Theory. His films, including the features MARRIED LIFE (2007), THE DELTA (1997), and the Sundance Grand Jury Prize winning FORTY SHADES OF BLUE (2005), have been screened at the Berlin, Toronto, New York, Rotterdam, and London Film Festivals, as well as in most of the major gay and lesbian film festivals worldwide. A recipient of a Rockefeller Fellowship in 1999, Sachs has been an Adjunct Professor in the MFA Program at the Columbia University School of Film, a creative advisor at the Sundance Director’s Lab, and a fellow at both the MacDowell Colony and Yaddo. He is presently working on a new feature, THE GOODBYE PEOPLE, co-written with Oren Moverman, and adapted from the fiction of screenwriter and novelist Gavin Lambert.
