Thanks Tim, for passing along “Snake Bit” this looks like a great film. Just bookmarked it.

Hey Dave,
The name sounded familiar, but I had no idea how influential Julius was in shaping the careers of architects and the role of photography within the profession. I was very sad to learn that he passed away in July.

I’d also like to see “Snake Bit,” a documentary about the Rural Studio and Samuel Mockbee.

Hey Tim,
Glad you were able to check it out. We’re you familiar with his work before watching the film?

You might be interested in the upcoming Coast Modern film. Looks like it will include interviews with bay area modern architects like Henrik Bull.

Thanks for posting this, Dave. I’ve just returned from the final showing of the movie in San Francisco. It was beautiful and entertaining.

They just added more screenings to the list, so it is probably coming to a city nearby you. Check it’s website out for details. I can’t wait to view the film.

This looks so amazing, but I can’t find a screening in Boston!

These photos and ambients are amazingly cool, and they remind me of my imaginary America, the one I glimpsed at and dreamed of in movies and magazines. I was under the false impression that most Californian houses looked that way! Then I moved there and discovered the ugly truth of subdivisions…

For what it’s worth, that black and white photo is of the Robert Lee Frost Auditorium in Culver City, designed by Walter Leland Moody. The auditorium of my old high school, it was dedicated in 1964 and still very much in use today. Also: it’s shown as Woody Allen’s “new home” of the future of his movie “Sleeper.”
