Carl Runs the Paper
Directed and produced by Joey Horan and Manish Khanal
Joey and Manish share the story of Carl Butz, the 73-year-old newfound editor of The Mountain Messenger, California’s oldest weekly newspaper. What started as a process-driven documentary about how a small, local paper in a rural region gets to press, morphed into a character-driven film about Carl, a retired widower who saw the potential loss of the local paper as a crucial blow to his community’s sense of self and, in saving the paper, found a way to reenter public life after years of isolated grief.
