Elsewhere on the Jacobs Beat . . .

I forgot to mention one of the nicest pieces of new-release news I've gotten this week, incidentally apropos of Ken Jacobs. Azazel, his son, is responsible for one of my favorite films from this year's edition of New Directors/New Films, Momma's Man. I'm delighted to report that the film was acquired by Kino International shortly after ND/ND and is scheduled to open on August 22. Of course I'll have more to say around that date, but you should mark your calendars.
