DVD Reviews of Zora Neale Hurston: Jump at the Sun
DVD Review: From the Producer/Writer
Summary: 5 Stars
Full disclosure: I produced this film. It took me 18 yrs. to bring it to fruition. Why, you ask? Because I and my fellow filmmakers wanted this film to be perfect. And perfection takes time. This is not a Youtube video (although we like those Youtube videos), it is a 84-minute masterpiece. It is an entertaining study of a complex woman, designed to not only simplify her story so she can reach a wide audience, but also to bring her to life. I hope you enjoy the film.

Description of Zora Neale Hurston: Jump at the Sun
WINNER: Best Educational Film in Montreal's Festival Internationale du Film sur l'Arts, 2009; critics across America loved JUMP AT THE SUN: "An exhilarating portrait of an exhilarating woman." NEWSDAY; "Does a fine job outlining Hurston's life and her near miraculous achievements, drawing on an unusually impressive and interesting group of talking heads." NEW YORK TIMES; "A fully rounded, intriguing account of an exuberant, independent woman who, in the words of her mother, refused to 'hide her gleam.' " CHICAGO TRIBUNE; "Continues the revival of interest in this free-thinker who in death has gained stature as a leading literary figure...There's no doubt Oprah would approve..." ORLANDO SENTINEL. The first feature-length film about Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), Jump at the Sun premiered nationwide on PBS' American Masters series. DVD EXTRAS: all 90 minutes of film footage Zora shot herself during anthropological explorations of the American South. This home version dvd carries a warning that the film is not for classroom use.
