Congratulations are in store: James M. Johnston has been named Reader's Choice for Best Local Filmmaker by the FW Weekly! Shortly after the paper went to print, the editor sent James an e-mail, wondering who this mysterious director was whom the People so obviously favored; he'd never heard of him. This represents a trend we've noticed; it's funny that we can get an article written about our film in a nationally syndicated magazine but we can't get our local newspapers to pay attention to it. I predict that eventually there will be an irony-laced suckerpunch to the local media.
Editors, take heed: Walter Murch is on Studio 360 on NPR this weekend.
We caught the last show of The Brown Bunny the other night, before it left theaters. I felt the first two third went by a little more slowly this time, but any problems I had with the last reel evaporated; knowing the context of the final scene in advance made it far sadder and almost unbearably intimate. Also of note: Amy encountered Vincent Gallo once in LA outside a certain hotel, and after seeing the movie and that very hotel within it, realized that he must have been about to shoot or finishing up the climactic scene of the film. Someone's vicarious cool points just went up!
