Uberindiefied

Lucas McNelly, filmmaker and film blogger and creator of the IndieFilmPedia, has been reviewing "uber-indie" films on his blog for the past few months, and today he takes a look at a handful of my own short efforts (all recent, some very new, one so new it's never even been mentioned here before). I'm pleased as punch that he liked them all as much as he did - and, most of all, that he completely got The Outlaw Son. I still feel more connected to that film than anything else I've made, and it's still thrilling to hear people respond favorably to it (which, by and large, they have).

In other news, IFC sent me the dates and times that A Delineation will be broadcast. The first is this coming Monday, June 4th, at 8:30 PM (Eastern Time), and it'll continue to air throughout June as part of the Media Lab Uploaded show.

Also appearing on television this week: site reader Chris pointed out in the comments a few posts down that Cormac McCarthy's landmark interview with Oprah is airing this Tuesday, June 5th, at whatever time Oprah come on. I've got my afternoon booked.

Hey David, FYI: the link you posted to Lucas's blog isn't working...

Thanks for the heads up, Girish. I seem to have been doing that a lot lately!

I really like the topic of your latest post, by the way. I have a really weird way of remembering films. I thought I was a bad cinephile until I read an interview with Paul Thomas Anderson and Lars Von Trier where they both said they remember films the same way. At that point, I figured I'm in okay company. I'm gonna try to find it and bring it over to your comments section...

Dave, so glad I strolled through your site today. Just in time to catch your piece on IFC's Media Lab tonight! Whooo-hoooooo!

Thanks also for the pointer to Oprah's McCarthy interview, which I have airing on CBS at 4:00 ET, 1:00 PT. You're also responsible for getting me interested in McCarthy when you wrote him up with regard to your The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada entry.

Ooops. Update. The McCarthy interview is airing at 4:00 PT on Bay Area's Channel 7.

So did you get to see the McCarthy interview, Dave? What did you think of it? I was quite impressed with his casual manner. I loved how he admitted to working at not working so he could dedicate himself to writing. I also liked how he countered Oprah's description of his work methodology as "passionate." "That's a little too fancy a word," he smiled.
