After talking with Jules Rosskamp, the director of the 2024 Sundance-premiered documentary DESIRE LINES, I just felt smarter: about filmmaking, how to use the medium to be a commentary on your story line, the specific reason he chose to create DESIRE LINES, trans storytelling, and almost everything about making an independent, uniquely creative film.I imagine that's how his students feel at the University of Maryland - Baltimore County do as well: just blown away by the knowledge and thoughtfulness his work brings to the medium.Check out Jules' socials to monitor when you can see the film: it's a singular experience that is unlike anything you've seen before.Jules' Indie Film Highlight: SEEING MAVIS BEACON dir by.
