Matt Zoller Seitz Stops Being a Film Critic, Starts Being a Filmmaker (Again)

You may (and should) remember Matt Zoller Seitz from the Dallas Observer, maybe for this story or some of these reviews. Since he left the Observer a decade or so ago, Seitz has been plying his trade for a number of outlets, most recently at the New York Times. No more. He’ll be in Dallas in July and August to shoot a movie that involves puppets, stuffed animals, and green screens that is “sort of a chance for me to indulge my fantasy of being George Lucas and Jim Henson at the same time,” he says.
