	Ted Demme Biography At DVDwolf.com
		Ted Demme, thanks to his uncle's (Jonathan Demme - Silence of the Lambs) more famous name, always seemed to receive the pat-on-the-head treatment from the critics, as if his work should apologize for not being as serious as Jonathan's.
		Demme continued working, returning to TV to work on some episodes of Robert Altman's Gun, one that garnered a cult following.
		In 1999 Demme came to Television on yet another 'different' kind of show, one that would last even less time than Robert Altman's Gun series but would go down as the turning point for critics in Demme's life.

	Highs and lows (Metro Times Detroit) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Like George Jung, the man whose life he chronicles, director Ted Demme uses cocaine as a means to an end.
		Demme’s interest was piqued by Bruce Porter’s Blow, a nonfiction account of the rise of the cocaine trade in the United States, and particularly the role played by Jung, who’s been described as the Henry Ford of cocaine.
		Although he felt it was vital to present Jung’s story objectively, without just-say-no finger-wagging, Demme does see Blow as “a classic morality tale” where a spectacular rise is followed by an equally spectacular fall and a thoughtful re-examination of past actions.

		Demme’s direction provided a uniquely sympathetic perspective of the stuggles that accompanied Jung’s addictive lifestyle, which eventually left him alone and broke.
		At the same time, Demme brought to life an extremely realistic portrayal of drug and alcohol addiction, and graphic depictions of the emotional and physical toll that these addictions take on a person.
		Ted Demme died of heart failure while playing a celebrity basketball game in early 2002.

		Although Demme was better known as the nephew of director Jonathan Demme at the beginning of his career, by the end of it, Demme had come into his own.
		Though most of his work was behind the scenes, Demme and best friend Denis Leary filmed a series of edgy, in-your-face promos for the channel that made Leary as recognizable a figurehead for MTV as Mickey Mouse was for Disney.
		In 1994, Demme and Leary took their act to the big screen with the comedy, The Ref, in which Leary played a thief who holds a bickering married couple hostage on Christmas Eve.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Blow" review (2001)
		Borrowing the narrative structure and the contagious kinetic energy of Scorsese's "Goodfellas," Demme creates a dizzyingly seductive criminal whirlpool of money and drugs that sucks the audience in right along with Jung, who is played with cool but insatiable zeal by Johnny Depp in another of his engrossingly chameleonic performance.
		Narrated in flashback by a bloated, haggard, post-fall, post-conviction Jung (the real man is behind bars until at least 2014), "Blow" begins with a remembrance of a 1950s childhood watching his father work 14-hour days with little to show for it.
		In his third strong performance in two months ("Hannibal" and "Heartbreakers" being the others), Liotta embodies the conflict of unconditional love for his son and a repulsion for the life he's chosen.

		A former music video director, Demme inclines toward stylish visuals and offbeat subject matter, and has cultivated a serious pop-cultural political sensibility as well.
		George Jung (played by Johnny Depp) began by dealing pot during the 1960s, and after going to prison (which he calls "crime school"), he became infamous as the guy who brought cocaine to the United States in the late '70s and made millions off it during the '80s.

	Demme reimagines 'Charade' as French New Wave 'Charlie'
		A trio of menacing crooks (Ted Levine, Lisa Gay Hamilton and Korean actor Joong-Hoon Park) is on Reggie's trail, convinced that she has a bundle of cash that's rightfully theirs.
		Instead of the elegant sophistication of Stanley Donen's film, Demme shoots with handheld cameras, never uses a crane or a dolly, and gives his film the disjointed, off-center rhythm of a Dogma 95 flick or a French New Wave film of the early '60s.
		For Demme, who at 58 is boyishly enthusiastic and remarkably free of Hollywood pomposity or bravado, "The Truth About Charlie" isn't just a return to directing after four years; it's a redefinition.
