COM student tells tale of sickness and recovery in The Cowboy
By Jessica Ullian
Week of 14 January 2005· Vol. VIII, No. 15 The Duke and Mike

family couldn’t distract him, the cowboys could. |

In May 2004, Michael Carr worked with the American
and Kodak Pavilions at the Cannes Film Festival. He was given the
opportunity to screen The Cowboy for a small audience at the Pavilion. The
experience was invaluable and he continues to keep in contact with
filmmakers he came in contact with. |
