Taggart & John honored at Roger Ebert’s 2008 Film Festival
Collective Eye co-founder and Director, Taggart Siegel joined John Peterson of The Real Dirt on Farmer John as guests and speakers at Roger Ebert’s 2008 Film Festival. Roger shows 12 film each year and Collective Eye was thrilled to learn that The Real Dirt on Farmer John was chosen to be showcased this year.
John and Taggart appeared on stage after the screening of The Real Dirt on Farmer John and spent about an hour discussing the film. They were joined by Ang Lee, Paul Schrader, Christine Lahti and other well known people in the film industry. The audience was so moved, they gave John and Taggart a standing ovation and many people were in tears as a result of the emotional impact of this wonderful film. The Real Dirt on Farmer John seems to elicit very strong and positive emotions wherever it screens. The Collective Eye Hive is very happy for our lads and the well-deserved recognition they received at this film festival.
