Hey I just finished a cool new website with awesome designer Jen Simmons for the new documentary,
Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired.
I’m very proud to have worked on this beautiful website. Not only because the film was, hands down, my favorite – documentary or otherwise – of 2008 (and I saw it 6 months ago, way before I had the opportunity to work on the website or anything), but also because it looks like Marina Zenovich‘s awesome detective work has drawn attention to the Judge’s unprecedented shady behavior – and has now prompted Roman Polanski to file a suit to have the charges dropped for good (with the victim’s blessing).
The website has intensely detailed information on The Film itself, The Case, the numerous excellent Reviews, Articles, Interviews with Marina Zenovich about the film, a Blog for news about the case and the film, and much more…
The DVD will be out January 27, 2009.
You can see
The trailer for the film too!
Here is the statement that was issued today by Polanski’s lawyers (from the same Marketwatch press release):
Lawyers Chad Hummel and Bart Dalton issued the following statement about the public filing today:
“The release of the documentary film, ROMAN POLANSKI: WANTED AND DESIRED, and its aftermath, have revealed a pattern of misconduct and improper communications between the Superior Court and the District Attorney’s Office, in violation of the rule of law and without the knowledge of the defendant or his counsel.
“This case serves as a classic example of how our justice system can be abused, and defendants’ rights trampled, by an unholy alliance between courts and criminal prosecutors.”
