James and I dropped the Outlaw Son footage off at the lab on our way out to Austin yesterday morning. It's gone through it's chemical bath by now.
Behind-the-scenes material was not a priority on this film, but our friend Marc shot about fifteen minutes of footage one ice cold night during the production. It can be viewed here (Quicktime 7 is required, etc). As I wrote on the MySpace page, where this link has been up for a while, "It's not much, and it's not eventful, but if you like quiet, contemplative wallflower-style documentary material, this will be at least partially your cup of tea."
I received an e-mail this morning from a critic whom I met in Berlin last year, in which he made a positive comparison between Some Analog Lines and Guy Maddin's work, and also validated my own preference for the longer cut of 48 Ribs. It was a good way to wake up.

I wouldn't compare Some Analog Lines to Guy Maddin's work at all, just for the record; unless, of course, pace and pace alone is more important than other formal and thematic concerns.
Though I suppose I'm just bitter than none of my favourite critics have seen Firelight.

That wasn't a BL, was it?...

wasn't there another post here earlier?

Matt - I'd never have even thought of the film in the same mindset as Maddin, but I ain't complaining. He cited its playfulness as a point of comparison.
Mutinyco - no, it was an SRII.
Brad - yeah, I accidentally deleted it.

Didn't even look like one. Didn't have that big block body.
Not sure why I asked.
Need to go out for a walk.

I don't know what I would compare it to, but not Maddin. Most likely Varda, by which I mean The Gleaners and I, which is what you might compare my film to as well.
In fact, ultimately, the first film I compare Some Analog Lines is my own, and my own to yours: synchronicity.
