What are you watching? Matt Wolf of "Spaceship Earth"

Matt Wolf is the director of the newly released 'Spaceship Earth', the crazy story of Biosphere 2, a wild 90s experiment where eight people tried to survive for two years within a glass structure that recreated the earth's atmosphere, along with its plant and animal life.

You can watch it here.

The last documentary Matt saw was “On The Record”, an exposé of sexual assault in the music industry, as a child he loved the film “Crumb”, which charted the bizarre life of cartoonist Robert Crumb, and it was “Licensed to Kill” by Arthur Dong that inspired him to become a filmmaker and in the process gave him the courage to come out as gay.
