Tony Gayton has made a nifty little documentary with Athens, GA.—Inside/Out. The town of Athens seems to have all the right elements for an interesting film about real people. It's a college town in the deep, rural South with all the history and culture that might suggest (shades of Faulkner!) and all the eccentrics (ranging from the genuinely weird to the utterly pretentious) such environments seem to attract.

Tony Gayton has made a nifty little documentary with Athens, GA.—-Inside/Out. The town of Athens seems to have all the right elements for an interesting film about real people. It's a college town in the deep, rural South with all the history and culture that might suggest (shades of Faulkner!) and all the eccentrics (ranging from the genuinely weird to the utterly pretentious) such environments seem to attract. But even though some interesting folks and bands are spotlighted throughout the film, it’s less the content than it is the way Gayton has put the documentary together (the editing, in particular) that makes it so much fun to watch.
