Carney's Supporters
Carney's dedication to film as an art form in general, and his decidedly anti-mainstream stance in particular, have made him something of a hero to many aspiring and first time filmmakers. His website has a large archive of letters from like-minded spirits. In addition to the amateur opinion he has supported and in turn received support from such independent luminaries as Charles Burnett, Tom Noonan, Andrew Bujalski, Robert Kramer, and Mark Rappaport. Rappaport recently filed a lawsuit against Carney for refusing to give back digital masters of Rappaport's movies which the filmmaker had previously entrusted to him for safekeeping.
