Someone sent me an email today  (maybe it was Jim Moore himself) bout a film premiering this week at Sundance called Man on Wire, which features photographs of Phillipe Petit by Jim Moore, a Brooklyn photographer.

Moore was Philippe’s right hand man during the planning of Petit’s walk on a high wire between the World Trade Towers.

The film, directed by James Marsh, recreates the preparation period prior to the World Trade Towers event. Moore followed Petit in the months prior to his clandestine walk.

More than 50 photographs are used by filmmaker James Marsh in this film. Moore is also interviewed in the film about his involvement.
