a sketchbook for The Library Van
Directed by: Gideon Koppel
year: 2005 57 minutes
A preparatory rough-draft of the extraordinary SLEEP FURIOUSLY.
Filmmaker Gideon Koppel's precursor to SLEEP FURIOUSLY, A SKETCHBOOK FOR THE LIBRARY VAN is, indeed, a preparatory rough-draft of the extraordinary feature-length documentary (which, at the time, was tentatively entitled THE LIBRARY VAN) addressing identical themes and featuring several of the same individuals. SKETCHBOOK presents a rare and fascinating opportunity to see a film in its formative stage.
