After premiering domestically at SxSW 2009 and internationally at Hot Docs 2009, Factory 25 released the film in 2010. In addition to lensing his own projects Jody has earned DP credits on the features Tiny Furniture (Jury Prize winner SxSW / LA 2010), Two Gates of Sleep (Cannes / London 2010), Afterschool (Cannes / NYFF 2008), and Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell (Berlin / Edinburgh 2008).
