 Kia Simon in the New York Times
Monday, August 07, 2006
Director Kia Simon had a big, half-page photo in the Sunday New York Times on August 6, which profiled the Joan Scheckel Directors Lab where Kia is workshopping ALICE. Here is the photo of Kia, demonstrating "yearning":

And here's what the Times had to say:
It might look like a dance rehearsal, but these are directors in a filmmakers' lab in Los Angeles run by Joan Scheckel. Directors of "Whale Rider," "One Hour Photo" and "Jesus' Son," as well as the current movie "Little Miss Sunshine" have passed through her workshop over the years, sharpening their skills with actors, working on scenes and their films' emotional tone. In this exercise last weekend, Ms. Scheckel, center right in black dress, extracted physical expressions of the word "yearning" from her students, Lisa Leone, left, Kia Simon, Don Handfield and Ryan Brooks.
