The screening went better than expected! We had a very nice reaction and we also had excellent company with the films before and after us. This one went on before us and I was smiling through the whole thing. After all the films screened, the filmmakers were invited on stage for a Q&A (our first!) which was a lot of fun. Afterwards we stood around in the hallway, looking lost I guess, and were surprised at the number of people who came up and congratulated us. Did not expect that at all.
Anyways, we’re days away from finishing a script so it’s all hands on deck for that. I’ll leave you with a quote from Jim Jarmusch.
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.”
Oh, and also, for those in LA. The New Beverly Cinema is a required visit for all of you. We just went there for a first time today and for seven dollars we saw a double feature of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and The Seven Year Itch.
