Here's a piece I wrote on the late, great Gary Graver and his posthumously published memoir of working with Orson Welles. Graver was a hero to many filmmakers, including my TROUBLE WITH THE TRUTH cinematographer Roberto Correa, who worked with Gary on many projects.

And here's another one from the AC book review files, and another one on Orson Welles: this time out I bow at the feet of the critic I revere above any other, Jonathan Rosenbaum, and praise his essential tome on a director I think is STILL underrated, in spite of having been declared the author of the greatest American film ever made. Read the review HERE and then get Rosenbaum's book pronto! #orsonwelles #jonathanrosenbaum #discoveringorsonwelles #americancinematographer #bo

From the now defunct book review column I used to have over at American Cinematographer, here's my piece on Joseph McBride's extraordinary WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ORSON WELLES?, a passionately argued and thoroughly researched volume on one of the greatest directors who ever walked the earth.
