“A suggestion for anyone considering DIY distribution for your project: make sure you have a spokesperson for your film who is as charismatic as filmmaker Ondi Timoner.”

Birmingham Weekly
“Director Ondi Timoner’s fascinating new documentary We Live in Public follows the life of Internet pioneer Josh Harris, who had a number of wildly innovative ideas but tempered them with his own special brand of eccentricity.”

Premium Hollywood
“Unlike her remarkable “DiG!,” about the cultish neo-psychedelic rock band, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, or “Join Us,” about an actual religious cult, this time the cult is not just a few fanatics, it’s you and me.”

The Suffolk Journal
“You checked your Facebook today, didn’t you? When you logged on, whose latest pictures did you creep? What wall posts did you read?… If Ondi Timoner’s latest documentary We Live In Public proves anything, it’s that everyone’s entire lives, or select parts of our lives, will be played out through the Internet.”

Milwaukee Film
“I realized that this story is about us…it is a cautionary tale about how the internet can and is affecting most all of our lives. It is looking ten years back, when there was no broadband, and predicting a future where we could be exponentially caught in the virtual web.”

You Will Be Forever
“Timoner sets out with We Live in Public to tell the story of yet another walking cautionary tale in Josh Harris who, as Anton Newcombe did for artists everywhere in DIG!, will inevitably shake us all to the core about what the future brings for all of us as we increasingly live, work and love through media and technology.”

SF Gate
“When Ondi Timoner made ‘Dig!’ in 2004, times were flush for niche films, and her music documentary easily found a buyer. This year, Timoner hoped for similar results when ‘We Live in Public’ picked up the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize…”

Movie City News
“Fascinating, if occasionally frightening…”
http://www.moviecitynews.com/columnists/dretzka/2009/090925.html
Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel
“Friday’s pick — Ondi Timoner, director of “Dig!,” chronicled Harris for a decade, and her film combines his footage with her own for a portrait of his fast rise and faster fall. The result, “We Live in Public,” won the best documentary award at the Sundance Film Festival.”

LaughTears
“Ondi transforms cultural metacognition, especially in her compelling new film WE LIVE IN PUBLIC, which examines visionary Josh Harris, who invented Internet video streaming. Timoner’s films stimulate us to look and listen anew.”

Martina Randles
“The film explores the concept of broadcasting entire lives over the internet from taking a dump to having sex, every aspect of ones character is uncovered to the nth degree with bleak results… the film provides a moral tale for an ever developing modern society…”
