To think I once got to see movies when I went to film festivals…
I had one film to share with folks this time around, Sean Durkin’s MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE, which I had the pleasure and good fortune to Executive Produce — even still I did not plan to see any others. I knew I was going to be too busy with the work that festivals have become for me.
The reception for the film was great — which has generated a lot of meetings (and which has yielded some nice announcements ). I forgot to read the latest Exec Prod job description though and did not realize it now means moderating press conferences. Check out the video here, and let me know how you feel I did.
When I wasn’t dealing and celebrating Sean’s movie, I was doing my part to aid in the promotion of indie film.
Christine Vachon and I have been doing this talk show on and off now for several years, now dubbed KILLER / HOPE. Hulu’s got it up on their Sundance page. Please check it out while you still can (at least in all its glory). New episodes will be added daily throughout the festival. Additionally, we were invited to talk to Eugene Hernandez for the local NPR station. Gotta get the word out, but man does all that yapping, make for some seriously dry mouth.
But man, what a test of will power it is. I admit I am an addict for great film, and even noble failures. To be in Park City and to have booked myself into back to back meetings to extent that I am unable to watch movies, leaves me quaking and shaking. I want to see some movies!
