But I thk what changed was the emergence of this very sober gay documentary movement. I remember people talkg about as this important moment, and leads directly to The Life and Tim of Harvey Milk, which is the first real classic gay film that morn era. For one thg, followg Mildred Pierce, really nfirms Todd Hayn as the director of 'women's pictur, ' which is what gay men ed to be Hollywood years back.
Ang Lee has set up another film wh Foc Featur, the stud behd Brokeback Mounta, this one based on the memoir Takg Woodstock: A Te Story of a Rt, a Concert, and a Life by Ellt Tiber, wh Tom Monte. Takg Woodstock tells the story of Tiber (right, today), a gay terr signer, part-time Catskills hotel manager and head of the Bethel, N.Y., Chamber of Commerce, and his role facilatg the Woodstock Ftival, providg the perm that ma the Ftival possible, as well as the eventual lotn on his kman Max Yasgur's farm. Acrdg to MSNBC, "The project is set up at Foc Featur, and will be adapted by the stud's CEO, Jam Scham. Lee and Scham' most recent llaboratn was Foc' Che-language drama "Lt, Ctn," which earned $66 ln worldwi." The Miami Herald recently terviewed Tiber and Monte about the memoir as Tiber was screeng his "docu-edy" Woodstock: Ticket to Freedom (watch a clip, AFTER THE JUMP) South Florida: "The rult was a sprawlg 575-page mancript Tiber tried for years to nnse.

'My work was about fdg the heroic Ellt and puttg that on the page,' Monte says. It wasn't hard. The Tiber of Woodstock days 'had an amazg amount of energy. He worked so hard and he was an credibly creative man dog everythg he uld thk of to keep his parents out of the poorhoe and keep that hotel alive. He was also really smart,' says Monte. 'Bethel was not the great metropolis -- was pretty sleepy, pretty backward. It wasn't dog anythg for self. Ellt brought the great spachip Woodstock to Bethel.
