Interview with Jeff Feuerzeig

Jeff Feuerzeig is an award winning director of non-fiction films. His 2005 film The Devil and Daniel Johnston was named 'The Best Music Documentary of the 21st Century' by IndieWire. His work covers jazz musicians, boxing heroes and musicians that you've never heard of, but should be obsessed with.

His latest film Author: The JT Leroy Story is equal parts bizarre and familiar, a tale told through interviews, archival footage and audio tapes and animating the subjects doodles, which give us the experience of living side by side with the subject, instead of peering in at them.

Seth sat down with Jeff to talk punk influences, being Robin Hood and taking big risks to tell stories that are worth telling.
