AJ Schnack is publishing a series of year-end email interviews with non-fiction filmmakers. So far, he’s talked to Man on Wire director James Marsh, Trouble the Water’s Carl Deal and Tia Lessin, and Jeremiah Zagar of In a Dream; today’s interview is with Patrick Creadon, director of Wordplay and the Oscar shortlisted debt doc, I.O.U.S.A. Amongst other things, Creadon talks about a potential pitfall of having such a timely film on the festival circuit: his story balooned so fast that between its Sundance premiere and its theatrical release in August, I.O.U.S.A. was screened in four different versions.

This reminds me of something that I’ve been meaning to post about for awhile: there’s yet another version of I.O.U.S.A, a 32-and-a-half minute version which has been posted on YouTube. This authorized re-edit, according to its YouTube description, was “designed specifically for watching and sharing on the web - for free.” So have at it — I’ve embedded it above.
