Director:
Peter Odabashian
Premiere:
DOC NYC 2015
About:
A portrait of the filmmaker through interviews with an expansive group of friends.
The film screened as part of DOC NYC, for which our program notes read:
At once intimately personal and expansively universal, Peter Odabashian’s bittersweet reflection on friendship and happiness demonstrates the power of an intentional community of kindred spirits on one’s life. Through affectionate, free-flowing interviews with an eclectic group of longtime friends his wife Esther and he have made both in NYC and in their home upstate, Odabashian explores profound themes of love, companionship, purpose, regret, aging, and mortality, ultimately celebrating the uplifting connections that bind them together.
