After 5 months of screenings and an incredible amount of buzz within the graphic design industry, I finally found myself at the IFC theater in the West Village, New York, last weekend to see the film.
I thought it was really well put together and the soundtrack really went well with the direction of
the film.
Having collected over 60 hours of footage, the film could have gone on for hours. I'm sure slimming it down to 80 minutes was quite a challenge.
After the film, director Gary Hustwit came out for a Q&A session. His guest, David Carson, wasn't able to make it out, but Hustwit's extra insight into the film was a definite plus.
He had 2 books to hand out for the best questions, but 5 months of Q&A made this not such an easy task. After only deeming one question worthy, he asked a trivial question for which I gave my equally trivial answer. I didn't get to ask the filmmaker a great question, but I got a book all the same (pictured). The book's lines are set in small quotes from the film.
If you were in New York in September, you [may have missed this] exhibit on the popular typeface. 50 Years of Helvetica just [closed] at the Espeis gallery in Williamsburg.
