David Modigliani is suddenly all over the place. And that's a good thing. Mr. Modigliani is the director of the acclaimed documentary Crawford, about -- what else? -- the town of Crawford, Texas, and all the incredible changes it's undergone since a chap named George W. Bush bought a ranch there in 1999. The film was a big hit at both the recent South by Southwest film festival and the AFI Film Festival in Dallas. And now, it's being shown in New York City, on Wednesday, June 4, at the Brooklyn International Film Festival. And if that's not enough, it's being carted to Crawford itself, where it will play outdoors, on a 50-foot mobile screen set up on the town's football field, for a showing on Sunday night, June 8. So far, those singing Crawford's praises include Variety, Texas Monthly, Film Threat, Politico.com and Premiere as well as actor Jake Gyllenhaal and director Richard Linklater.
