As Smart As They Are: The Author Project
Joe Pacheco, 2005, 63 minutes
West Coast Premiere

Brooklyn duo One Ring Zero had bookish beginnings as the house-band
for a weekly literary event at offbeat NYC publishing company
McSweeney's (sibling of 826 Valencia). Soon after, claviola-playing
Joshua Camp and Michael Hearst were scoring an off-Broadway play.
Before long, they establish The Author Project, which uses award-
winning writers such as Dave Eggers, Jonathan Lethem, and Margaret
Atwood to pen new lyrics. With live performances, studio sessions
and interviews, As Smart As They Are explores the relationships
between music and literature; and the New York literary community
that fostered the band.

Bolerium, Keary Kensington, 2006, 23 minutes
A day in the life of a Mission District bookstore dedicated to
preserving the history of social movements (and not without some
cranky bookstore humor).
