John Kennedy Toole: the omega point
a documentary film by Joe Sanford
The production of John Kennedy Toole: the omega point is finished.  The final mastering was accomplished on a cold, rainy night, December 17, 2009.

I will post festivals as we enter on this page.

Like playing improvisational jazz, it was the making of the film that matters to me.  The opportunity to meet and know people like Joel, John, David, Ruth, Kenneth, Jane and, of course, Dr. Pat, made 2009 a memorable year for me.

The research and creative team on this project made it happen.  I am deeply in debt to the Tulane Special Collections, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, the Contemporary Arts Center, Jay Weigel, Ray Ganucheau, Stephen Allen, Bess Carrick and Charles Richard.
