From “Dead Man’s Curve” To Woodstock

“I will probably call 32 times today. The Jan Tribute made a tear or two come to these eyes that have seen soooo much.”
Artie Kornfeld
Co-Writer of “Dead Man’s Curve”
2009 is a big year for our friend, Artie. It’s the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock, and a number of projects are in the works.
Barbara Koppel is producing a brand new documentary that will air on VH1 in August . . . and a new DVD set on the Woodstock film (which won an Academy Award for Best Documentary in 1970) will also be out in August.
The Woodstock DVD will feature many extras; and Artie says that he and co-producer Michael Lang were blown away by the new treatment of the film.
Adam Pally will portray Artie in director Ang Lee’s new comedy, Taking Woodstock, due out this summer. It’s a film about Elliott Tiber’s role in helping the Woodstock producers secure Max Yasgur’s farm for the concert in 1969.
To cap everything off, Artie is putting the finishing touches on his new memoir, Spirit of the Woodstock Nation. The book covers Artie’s life and career leading up to Woodstock and its aftermath.
Encomium co-producer Mark Moore has read a draft of the manuscript, and is assisting Artie with the editorial process. — (Originally Posted March 9, 2009)
