Nursery University in the New York Times

Nursery University, formerly titled The Diaper League and the project of the March/April 2007 6-week class, screened to a sold out theatre at the Margaret Mead film festival this past weekend. The two NY Times articles written about the film express that it "...depicts New York City parents as a fascinating anthropological subculture,” and that the film "examines the sometimes laughable lengths to which parents go to help their children, but to its credit, the film does not ridicule or judge them." The articles can be found here and here.

Nursery University to Screen at Margaret Mead Film Festival

Nursery University, the project of the March/April 2007 six-week course (when it was titled Diaper League), will be screening at the Margaret Mead Film Festival at the American Museum of Natural History November 15th. Nursery University premiered at the Hampton's International Film Festival this fall and was reviewed by John Anderson of VARIETY who wrote the film was "...handled with such good humor and humanity by Simon (the director) that you start to forget that what you're so involved with is the question of where some very short people...are going to be finger-painting for the next eight months."

Nursery University Praised in VARIETY

Nursery University, formerly titled Diaper League and the project of the March/April 2007 6-week class, was recently reviewed in VARIETY. Writer John Anderson commented that the film "...may seem like science-fiction: Strange, possessed beings stumble sleepless through a landscape of plenty, willing to sell their kidneys to get their kid into the proper pre-school.... and Nursery University plays it sympathetically, like a Spellbound in training pants." He continued that the film is "...handled with such good humor and humanity by Simon (the director) that you start to forget that what you're so involved with is the question of where some very short people...are going to be finger-painting for the next eight months."
