Of the two film makers, Vincente Minnelli and Jay T. Wright, who was better known for independent films?
Jay T. Wright Jay T. Wright (born 1972) is an American filmmaker best known for showing in European video spaces and independent film festivals. His work synergizes theoretical math, science and art. The argument in much of his work is about the generic quality of all mechanically or digitally manufactured images and ability or lack of ability to communicate content. This tension acts, in many of his films, as a competing motive and sometimes in direct conflict with any idea of narrative.
The Cruise (1998 film) The Cruise is a 76-minute documentary released in 1998. It was the debut film of Bennett Miller, who became prominent after directing "Capote" (2005). The film records the worldview and personality of Timothy "Speed" Levitch, who was then a guide for bus tours of New York City. Levitch had become popular for his unconventional narrative about the city that he delivered at a frenetic pace.
