Michelle Sullivan’s Honors:
7/11/08: PRESS: Roman Polanski: Wanted And Desired: Review:
NBC “ReelTalkTV" w/ Jeffrey Lyons and Alison Bailes
http://video.reeltalktv.com/player/?id=274825
6/8/08: PRESS: NEW YORK SUN review of: Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired: "Wanted and Desired" quite justifiably earned an editing award at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and it was recently screened in a single remote theater in northern Manhattan and in Pasadena, Calif., in order to qualify for Oscar consideration prior to its cable premiere. If the Academy gave out statuettes for documentary clip research and clearances, the film would be a shoo-in for the top prize."
