Charlotte — Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:49:46 +0000

“We’re now living in a time in which art will undoubtedly be more important than ever, both as means for self-expression, but also as transcendental escapism, reminders that there is good and beauty in the world. These ten documentaries at DOC NYC, all about arts, culture and hope for the future, encompass that feeling.”

A Sumptuous Celebration of Hersch’s entire musical world!

Charlotte — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 19:27:46 +0000

Thank you Andrew Gilbert at California Magazine for the beautiful and thoughtful review of The Ballad of Fred Hersch.

“When filmmakers Carrie Lozano and Charlotte Lagarde approached jazz pianist Fred Hersch about making a documentary, they intended to capture the making of his ambitious new multimedia production, My Coma Dreams. What started as an investigation into the fantastical creations of Hersch’s unconscious mind turned into a sumptuous celebration of his entire musical world.”
