Mysterious Tiler


Resurrect Dead documents one man's quest to find the meaning and creator of the Toynbee Tiles, small works of art that have been embedded in the pavement of the streets of South Philadelphia and about two dozen other cities in the U.S. since the early 1980s. We follow Justin Duerr as he seeks the answers to questions that have lain unanswered under the feet of thousands of pedestrians for decades.

Looking Reality in the Face

Who is John Madden? He's just one of many faces we might pass without thought on any given day. Hard Ground introduces us to a few of the folks that photographer Michael O'Brien took the time to meet and pairs these faces with the words of Tom Waits. We get to look closely at these people and, through them, ourselves.

A Passion for Fashion

I'm in love. He doesn't know I exist and he wouldn't look twice at me. Who is the object of my affection? Bill Cunningham, the NY photographer and subject of this documentary. He is passionate about his work, thoughtful, sweet, genuine, funny, and fearless. We get to follow him around as he bikes the streets of New York in search of interesting street fashion trends. His humble demeanor and quiet nature make him irresistable and the film is simply wonderful.
