Director Bio

Judd Tully was born in Chicago and educated at American University, Washington, DC.

For over two decades, he was Editor-at-Large of Art & Auction magazine.

Harold Crooks is the director/writer of The Price We Pay, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and had its European premier at CPH:DOX. Named “Best Canadian Documentary” of 2014 by the Vancouver Film Critics Circle, it was a New York Times Critic’s Pick.
