My friend Pericles sent me this by way of Twitter by way of These Are Those Things (all of these interconnections- it’s how the interwebs work). It’s a really great animated short called “Please Say Something” by David O’Reilly. I think it really touches upon many thoughts and emotions I and others have had concerning [...]

One of my less frequently screened films is going to be playing at the Pompidou center in Paris this weekend. I doubt anyone who reads my blog will be there, but if you happen to find yourself in the City of Lights with nothing to do on Saturday, you might want to check it out. [...]

In many ways, I considered Comic-Con to be the anti-Cannes. Technically speaking, it’s not a film festival, but it hosts a few (anime, children’s films, along with nightly film screenings).

I ran into a friend in the palais and made him pace [...]
As the screening of LOOP approached, I had very little time to blog, so forgive the lateness of these posts! After a good talk with Lloyd Kaufman, president of Troma Entertainment, I felt a little better about my feelings for Cannes. It was nice to know I wasn’t the only one who felt that it [...]
Just thought this was an interesting combination of invitees at the American Pavilion: Buddhist monks and Navy sailors on the same beach!
…though none of it is hitting my sails. I’m just not impressed anymore. Now I’m beginning the major marketing campaign for LOOP- Walking through the palais and scoping out potentials, standing around, passing out postcards to whomever will take them, much like the tour bus drivers. And like the tour bus drivers, I can promise [...]
