SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Michael Ferris Gibson has been awake for 24 hours, and the frazzled filmmaker can't think straight after chugging countless cans of soda spiked with extra caffeine.
Should he dispatch camera crews to shoot the Ethel Merman drag queen auditioning drummers for his '70s-style rock band? The penny-pinching foodies seeking comrades for a late-night taqueria tour? The cash-strapped transsexual selling "erotic services" to pay for a sex change? Or the heart-tugging tale of a woman looking for someone to adopt her blind Australian Shepherd dog?
Such are the quandaries of the director of a documentary about Craigslist, the wildly popular Web site where millions of people buy, sell, swap and debate everything from politics and condos to poodles and casual sex.
