Ross McElwee

Ross McElwee makes documentaries. "It seems I'm filming my life in order to have a life to film, like some primitive organism that somehow nourishes itself by devouring itself, growing as it diminishes." -RM



Read more about him here (PBS Frontline).

I absolutely love all of his work but if you are to pick only one I would say Sherman's March.

Sherman's March: A Meditation on the Possibility of Romantic Love in the South During an Era of Nuclear Weapons Proliferation, (1986) Autobiographical documentary on life, love, nuclear preparedness, and the various neuroses of General William Sherman.

And if you can't get over Charleen, which you most likely won't be able to, then you have to pick-up Charleen or How Long Has This Been Going On?.

Charleen, (1978) Portrait of North Carolina native Charleen Swansea, a protégé of Ezra Pound, poet, and innovative teacher in the public schools.
