Joel Parrish and Alex Sheremet set out to film a documentary on the Minneapolis poet, Bruce Ario, on-scene in Minneapolis. They captured their second interview, which featured some insightful commentary into Bruce Ario’s poetry. Later in the day, they walked the various Minneapolis bridges, capturing sky and water footage/photography, and ate some classic Polish fare. Other topics: nature vs. “disturbed” nature footage, people vs. nature, framing shots, the hidden luck interviews falling through, & getting into Bruce Ario’s building.

“From There to There: Bruce Ario, the Minneapolis Poet” (2024) will be their first film. Read more and contribute to the film here: gofundme.com/f/new-film-the-minneapolis-poet-bruce-ario
