A documentary short featuring the sights and sounds of musician, writer and bookseller Natalie Woodlawn.

We are excited to announce that the short documentary "Renegade Bookseller" screened at the 2005 SXSW Film Festival in Austin, TX. The film was previously voted Runner-Up for the People's Choice Award at the 1st Annual SXSWeb Media Festival!

BOXOFFICE Magazine - Sheri Linden
"...Toubassi's profile of Natalie Woodlawn, "Renegade Bookseller," centering on a colorful bohemian businesswoman, will have resonance for Los Angelenos... the filmmaker displays a confident, imaginative sense of storytelling and visuals, and it will be worth watching for his next project."

Austin Chronicle - March 17, 2005
SXSW Film Reviews - Reel Shorts 1
"...This first set of Reel Shorts is an eclectic joy to watch...the short
documentary 'Renegade Bookseller' might be MTV filler, but it still manages
to charm...Funny, honest, and wonderfully symbolic." - Eli Kooris
