SEATTLE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2008
Thursday, May 22, McCaw Hall
Charlize Theron to attend Opening Night along with director Stuart Townsend and other special guests with the premiere of “Battle in Seattle,” a gripping dramatization of events that rocked the world when Seattle was host to the WTO. A fabulous gala party will follow the film with live entertainment and complimentary champagne cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.
“Battle in Seattle,” is the story of a handful of characters who find themselves thrust into the chaos of the infamous anti-globalization protests against the WTO that shook Seattle in the fall of 1999. “Battle in Seattle,” uses a structure similar to the Oscar-winning film “Crash” in weaving multiple storylines with a star-studded ensemble cast. The result is an imaginative drama that revisits fact, fiction, and many myths surrounding those tumultuous few days.

Seattle Magazine’s feature spread Documentary Filmmaking
Real to Reel, Seattle’s female documentarians
www.seattlemag.com
Photos by Charlie Schuck
Shot at Seattle's Historic Landmark Theatres
By Paula Nechak
Why do Seattle's female filmmakers find the documentary genre so alluring?
Once thought a poor cousin to the mighty narrative feature and relegated to faded art-house cinemas and obscure film festivals, documentaries have come into their own—and Seattle’s women directors are making them their own. Following in the footsteps of maverick female documentarians like Leni Riefenstahl, Maya Deren, Greta Schiller, Barbara Kopple and Chris Hegedus, local filmmakers are choosing to document subjects from crude oil to burlesque shows. Given the wealth of Seattle women working in the genre, we wondered: Is there something that draws women to documentaries? Do women have a special knack for truth-telling? And what exactly is the truth, anyway? We asked a few local filmmakers—both emerging and established—to speak about the trend. While their answers were wide ranging, they all emphasized the supportive nature of Seattle’s documentary community, which you can experience for yourself at this month’s Seattle International Film Festival.
Read the full interviews in Seattle Magazine’ web exclusive
photographed at the Egyptian Theater
Virginia Bogert: Quiet Crusader
Grew up in: Westwood, New Jersey
Lived in Seattle since: 1983
Documentary credits: A Matter of Perception (1997), producer and director; in my shoes (1999), director, writer, editor; Pike Place Market: Soul of a City (2001), director and producer; All About Us (episode, Fields of Plenty, 2006), producer and director; American Masterworks (series for the Washington State Arts Commission, 2008), producer and director.
Current project/Next up: Fields of Plenty, the long version. This is a film about sustainable agriculture and the glory of food and food producers across the continent—the farmer as nurturer and artisan.
Favorite documentary: Harlan County USA, because for me it has all the components of the quintessential documentary film, and true to the spirit of doc filmmaking, this was not the story Kopple set out to tell.
Documentary trend I can do without: The trend of “everyone is a filmmaker”—that anyone feels he or she can make a film. Access to inexpensive equipment has democratized the process, but it doesn’t make you a filmmaker nor does it make the footage you acquire interesting, nor do special effects make that footage better.
I chose documentary over feature film because: Because life is true. I’d make a feature in a heartbeat though. One does not preclude the other. It’s all about telling a good story.
The hardest part about getting truth on film: We documentarians are all, at best, noble propagandists. The filmmaker is an active participant and decision-maker in the process of this medium of communication.
Why do women seem drawn to—and so good at—making documentaries? We listen, and that’s the biggest plus. We are also not really as romantic as we are purported to be. I also think women feel they can help make things better in the world and this is a way to do it.
If I had all the money I needed to make a documentary, I’d make a film about: Whatever it is, it will be female focused.
Lainy Bagwell: The Handicrafter
Grew up in: Seattle
Lived in Seattle since: 1972
Documentary credits: Blood on the Flat Track: The Rise of the Rat City Rollergirls (2007), co-producer and co-director
Next up: I have lots of things brewing in my head…an idea for a horror film, a comedy in the vein of Fast Times at Ridgemont High and a TV series.
Favorite documentary: Taxi to the Dark Side, Devil’s Playground, anything by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, and Capturing the Friedmans—that movie creeped me out for a week.
Documentary trend I can do without: Reenactments. if you don’t have the footage, figure something else out.
Hardest part about getting truth on film: It's a bit nerve-racking asking someone if you can pry into their personal life to show to thousands of people. You’re never quite sure if and when you’re crossing the line.
Why do women seem drawn to making documentaries? Perhaps women in general feel that now they can tell the stories they really want to without being limited to vagina-centric subjects like they once were.
What about Seattle makes this a good place for documentary filmmaking? We have a lot of creative and interesting people in this city. and we have beautiful scenery that makes for good backdrops!
If I had all the money I needed to make a documentary, I’d make a film about: I would love to do a documentary on a popular band. Like following around Earth, Wind & Fire—how cool would that be?
Lacey Leavitt (left) and Lainy Bagwell at the Seven Gables Theatre
Lacey Leavitt: Girl Friday
Grew up in: Lake Stevens
Lived in Seattle since: 2000
Documentary credits: Blood on the Flat Track: The Rise of the Rat City Rollergirls (2007), coproducer and codirector
Current project: I'm currently producing a narrative feature written and directed by Megan Griffiths called The Off Hours and have a documentary short and two narrative features in development.
Favorite documentary: The Fog of War by Errol Morris.
Documentary trend I can do without: Anti–Michael Moore documentaries. if you don’t like him, why copy his style of film?
I chose documentary over feature film because: I didn’t…I work with both. But sometimes the truth is better than anything you could create, and real people can be more vibrant than any big-name actor. documentaries are also exhilarating to make because even if you think you know the story before you start shooting, your subjects will always surprise you.
Why do women seem drawn to making documentaries? I think women don’t have much of a voice in the current Hollywood output and understandably so, because most of the films are geared at males under 25. So that s not always an attractive calling for women who want to tell stories. documentaries can be so diY that you don’t have to worry about someone judging whether your vision is marketable enough before they give you money, because a lot of times you can fund your film yourself.
Why is documentary film such a hot commodity? it s so easy to relate to people in documentaries because they’re real people, regardless of their social, economic or political standing.
If I had all the money I needed to make a documentary, I’d make a film about: Mae West.
Shannon Gee: The Home Towner
Grew up in: Seattle
Lived in Seattle since: 1970
Documentary credits: All Our Sons: Fallen Heroes of 9/11 (2004), producer and writer; The Meaning of Food (2004 mini series), producer; Smothered: The Censorship Struggles of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (2002), producer; Conscience and the Constitution (2000), coproducer
Current project/next up: Finishing producing a documentary about the 1957, set-in-Seattle novel No-No Boy; creating exhibit videos for the new Wing Luke Asian Museum and working on the next season of the Seattle Channel’s Community Stories documentary series.
Favorite documentary: Hoop Dreams, When the Levees Broke, Iraq in Fragments and the Chinese documentary Useless.
Documentary trend I can do without: Stunt documentaries, which I define as when filmmakers create hyper-manipulated situations for themselves or their subjects to participate in.
I chose documentary over feature film because: I think people’s stories are just as, if not more, interesting as made-up ones.
The hardest part about getting truth on film: You always want to try to “get it right,” and I think you can’t always get there unless you know your subjects well. On the flip side, you can be too close to a subject.
What about Seattle makes this a good place for documentary filmmaking? I think Seattle gives you the time and space to think. It has a more relaxed state of mind that isn’t always in places like New York City or Los Angeles.
If I had all the money I needed to make a documentary, I’d make a film about: Civil rights history in Seattle or a personal documentary about my mom’s family, who emigrated from China to Mississippi in 1914.
Sandy Cioffi: Rebel with a Cause
Grew up in: Brooklyn, New York
Lived in Seattle since: 1994
Documentary credits: Sweet Crude (scheduled for completion summer 2008), producer and director; And Justice for All (2003), producer and director
Current project: Sweet Crude is my current project, scheduled for completion April 2008. It tells the story of Nigeria’s Niger Delta, where billions of dollars of crude oil flow under the feet of a desperate people. Immense wealth and abject poverty stand in stark contrast. The environment is decimated. The issues are complex, the answers elusive.
Favorite documentary: Harlan County USA.
The hardest part about getting truth on film: Whose truth? Which truth? To make the kind of art I want to, I have to wrestle my big opinions to the ground.
Why do women seem drawn to—and so good at—making documentaries? Women assume that they have to do all of the work—a good skill set for a documentary filmmaker. Also, women appear trustworthy, which helps to get people to talk openly. But I actually use being female as a Trojan horse; I bring a pretty male stance to my work.
What about Seattle makes this a good place for documentary filmmaking? From the moment I moved here 14 years ago, this city has treated me like gold. In New York, I would be just another filmmaker asking for favors.
Why is documentary film currently such a hot commodity? People turn to independent documentaries to fill in what they can’t find anywhere else. Viewers crave that veracity over verisimilitude. We all want something truly, really, actually human that we can care about.
If I had all the money I needed to make a documentary, I’d make a film about: Something lighthearted and life affirming. I have a preliminary idea for a piece about women who make wine, cheese and bread.
Deirdre Timmons: The Musical Comedienne
Grew up in: Wichita, Kansas, and Seattle
Lived in Seattle since: 1976
Documentary credits: A Wink and a Smile (2008), director
Current project/next up: A Wink and a Smile, a musical documentary following the lives of 10 burlesque students from their first class to their first performance.
Favorite documentary: Borat. Oh wait, was that a documentary? Buena Vista Social Club, Ballets Russes, The Beales of Grey Gardens and Jesus Camp.
Life event that made you want to be a documentary filmmaker: Fifteen years as a reporter.
Documentary trend I can do without: Documentaries on serial killers. Enough already.
I chose documentary over feature film because: Truth is stranger than fiction (and it’s cheaper).
The hardest part about getting truth on film: Getting your subject matter to trust you, forget the cameras, stay focused and speak in complete sentences.
Why do women seem drawn to—and so good at—making documentaries? Persuading people to open up about their lives or certain incidents is a very nurturing—and manipulative—process. I think women are good in both of those arenas.
What about Seattle makes this a good place for documentary filmmaking? The burgeoning film scene here encourages filmmakers on many levels. It’s an edgy, up-and-coming, arts-focused town. In what other cities of this size can you find roller derby, burlesque and a decent opera?
Why is documentary film currently such a hot commodity? Reality TV primed American audiences to the notion that the mere existence of a person’s daily life is fascinating and fraught with familiar universal truths. Documentaries provide a medium for more in-depth coverage of an issue affecting our lives or illuminating the journey of others.
If I had all the money I needed to make a documentary, I’d make a film about: Anything musical—the musical life of Marines in Iraq; the story of a small circus anywhere; the social life in an African refugee camp.

Hair & Make-up artist Mimi Pettibone received a great compliment from HGTV with whom she has done several jobs. After traveling all over the country, using local crew for hair & makeup for the on camera host, the new program director is distributing a still photo of the host as the gold standard for what this host should look like: Mimi’s styling! The show’s segment producer wrote: “We love working with Mimi. Not only is she fun and friendly, she’s also the epitome of professionalism. We always look forward to having her on our shoots because we know our people will look GREAT! In fact, Mimi is so good, we use her work as an example of how we want other hair and make-up artists to style for our show.” StellarStyle.com
