Hi. How are you? If you’ve been following along, then you know I’m scrambling to catch up on 2013 movies. If there’s one thing I can take away from working in film distribution, it’s that watching films outside of your company’s is rare. Why? Because you watch the same clips and the same films over and over (a four-year-old’s dream) to strategize how to get as many butts in the theater seats as possible, and sometimes, after calling it a day, it’s nice to just go home and read, eat peanut butter, or do anything that doesn’t involve turning on your television. (That’s not easy for a guy like me: movies are my life. I love escaping from the real the world for 90+ minutes.)

In time, however, you learn to balance that, shut down the brain, and do what you love most: watch movies. Over the last few months, I managed to watch a handful of documentaries I’ve been wanting to see and below are my favorites. In no particular order, of course.
