      Out of a job right now, but I had ten bucks to spare. I hope you make it to $6,000! P.S. I took your screen writing class back in the day. I'm a tech writer now, which isn't really much different ;-)

Independent Film &Video magazine called Trent Harris, “one of America’s premiere cult directors.” Harris has written and directed five feature films: Rubin and Ed, Beaver Trilogy, Plan 10 From Outer Space, Delightful Water Universe, and The Cement Ball of Earth Heaven and Hell. In 2001 The Los Angeles Critics Association awarded Harris, Best Independent Experimental Film, for his feature, Beaver Trilogy. This film was also listed by the London Guardian as one of ”Fifty Lost Masterpieces” and hit the "Top Ten" list of Art Forum Magazine. Oddly, this is Harris’ least favorite film. “It seems the ones I like the most are the ones most panned by the critics. I am influenced more by the paintings of outsider artists more than I am by movies.” Filmmaker Magazine hosted a special screening of Harris work at the Lincoln Center in New York in February of 2008.

A partial selection of recent major screenings of Trent Harris' work include:

British Film Institute - London
Museum of Modern Art - Vienna Austria
Les Laboratories - Aubervilliers France
Sundance Film Festival - Park City, Utah
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts - San Francisco, California
Pacific Film Archive - Berkeley California
Lincoln Center - New York City, New York

Harris holds Master Degrees from the University of Utah and the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. He is also the author of two books, Mondo Utah, and The Wild Goose Chronicles. He has produced dozens of documentaries for television, many in third world countries. His TV awards include: Cine Golden Eagle, Gabriel, and a World Medal from New York Festivals.
