Not only is WE LIVE IN PUBLIC the first film to feature Twitter quotes on our official film poster according to Slashfilm (and to the delight of one of the parties quoted…) it’s a veritable lovefest between WLIP and Twitter.   Look at some the hot digital action:

The film opens tomorrow (Friday August 28th) at the IFC Center in NYC for a short run.  Details about the opening, including party info and Q+A details are HERE.  Buy tickets HERE!

We love traditional press outlets but we think it’s cool that WE LIVE IN PUBLIC is showing up all over the internet in various blogs and sites. Check out what bloggers and journalists around the globe have said about us recently:

The Lumiere Reader
“Ondi Timoner is establishing herself as one of the more well-known and prescient documentary filmmakers around… [She] seems to be attracted to highly flawed figures, people who would be considered megalomaniacs if they weren’t shown as relentlessly human…”
http://lumiere.net.nz/reader//item/2247

Salient.
“Director Ondi Timoner (Dig!), almost certainly the most interesting documentary maker of this decade…”
http://www.salient.org.nz/arts/film/framing-reality

Emergent Chaos
“I think what I like most about WE LIVE IN PUBLIC is how it shows how well that nothing to hide idea screws with people’s lives…”
http://www.emergentchaos.com/archives/2009/08/we_live_in_public_the_mov.html

RealTime Arts
“…while Timoner is quick to point out that the film is less a portrait of Harris than an investigation of the potentially dehumanising impact of the internet on society, the image of the mercurial visionary/madman at its centre, while at times affectionate, is not always a flattering one…”

Thanks!
