I saw Dirt! The Movie at Sundance and loved it, inventive, fresh, energetic, full of info and not manipulative in the slightest which eco docs can sometimes be. I hope this happening only raises awareness of an important and vibrant film which other critics have appreciated. Although this story is true, Jeff Dowd is a producer’s rep not a producer.

The journalist walked away and went to the restaurant to eat, and the filmmaker followed him into the restaurant and continued to try to talk to him about the review; at some point, things got ugly, and the journalist reportedly punched the filmmaker in the face. Police were called out to deal with it. The source told me that so far as he knew, the filmmaker had decided not to file charges against the journalist and no one was arrested. http://www.mcnblogs.com/sundance/2009/01/sundance_brouhaha_rumors.html#comments The Yarrow and festival staff, it should be noted, handled the situation quickly and as unobtrusively as possible; it's unfortunate for the festival that a negative review of a film would leave to this kind of situation, but so it goes ... jeepers.
