Eleven Minutes

Let's take a breather from finale mania and look in on the best designer the show ever had, Jay McCarroll. Specifically, the soon-to-be-released documentary about him, Eleven Minutes.



“Eleven Minutes,” chronicles his year-long journey preparing his first independent runway show for New York’s Fashion Week in Bryant Park and the subsequent selling of his line to stores. The result is an in-depth, painfully raw and humorous exploration of the creative process and the constant conflict of balancing commerce with art, fame with talent, and reality-TV with actual reality.

- Miami Gay/Lesbian Film Festival, Sat, April 26 @ 4:30 pm, TBA/South Beach FL

Very cool, no?

UPDATE: And right on time, here's Jay with his latest blog entry about the Bryant Park show. As usual, it's hysterical.
