Jon Kasbe's latest film if for the New Yorker. Its a short film about Joe Garcia who twenty odd years before had killed a man in a drug deal gone bad. Going into prison he began to write and eventually found hope in the music of Taylot Swift. Kasbe had read Garcia's story about being a Swiftie that lives in prison and had to meet him. This resulted in a film that discusses Garcia's chage and his move toward release.
This is a lovely film. While it may seem to be by the numbers at first, but Kasbe works his magic and will have you tearing up by the end. You're going to want to find Garcia and give him a big hug,
I have no notes.
See this film- either at DOC NYC or on YouTube where it is playing on the New Yorker's channel.
Recommended.
