One of my former Parsons graduate students, Miao Wang is doing some great promoting of her documentary film, Beijing Taxi. It comes to NY on Oct 4th at the IFC Center so if you're in town, you should go (I unfortunately will be in CA). Miao has been working very hard on this film for a number of years and is finally being recognized for her dedication to the project. Watch the trailer and I think you will be intrigued enough to see more.
The shots she has in the trailer are beautiful and the narrative of the drivers is really interesting to learn about as it draws you in slowly. I love her variety of shots from extreme close-ups to wide shots with the music punctuating the natural rhythm of life in China today. I am very interested to see the finished film so am watching the schedule to see if she has more NYC screenings.
