Coming Soon: Tuesday June 19th – 7:00 pm:
Special Event with Twitch and Shout’s Lowell Handler Presenting His New
Photography/E-Book Crazy and Proud
Special guest Lowell Handler, is the star, narrator, guide, and associate
producer of the Emmy-nominated PBS television documentary Twitch & Shout.
The film set the stage for his 1998 memoir, Twitch & Shout: A Touretter’s
Tale, published by Penguin. A segment of the the documentary which has
been described as “wonderful, compassionate, funny, instructive, inspiring
and flat-out brilliant documentary” will be shown.
Handler’s latest project Crazy and Proud is a first-person narrative that
chronicles what happened when the Lowell, a photographer with Tourette
syndrome, began work at a New York City shelter for mentally-ill women. He
wasn’t sure what he’d signed on for. The year that followed taught Lowell
to keep a sense of humor, and to not pre-judge anyone. The women learned
photography and took some great pictures. Many are in the new eBook, along
with the text, which Handler will read from, photographs he will project,
and a short video that features one of the women, which will be screened.
Lowell is a former Black Star contract photographer-journalist whose
pictures have appeared in Life, Newsweek, Elle, U.S. News & World Report,
The (London) Sunday Times Magazine, Hippocrates, The New York Review of
Books, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and the Southern Poverty Law
Center’s Intelligence Report and Teaching Tolerance, as well as many
international journals from Brazil to Japan. His parents Murray and Enid
Handler reside in Pittsboro.
