Lovers Of Hate is almost upon us

Bryan's film premieres in Park City a few short days. Technically, I'm going to be there. That is to say, I have a ticket scheduled for a flight departing Friday morning. Whether I'm on it or not is the crux of a forever vacillating see-saw of finicky decision making. Yesterday I was overcoming some mild bug and the thought of venturing up the slope of Main Street was too much to bear. But today I'm in good health and high spirits, and while I'm not one hundred percent sure where I'm going to stay once I arrive at Sundance, I feel up to the possibility of burrowing into a snowbank every night if it means getting to be there with the rest of the crew in that first moment of glory Sunday afternoon.

Meanwhile, back in Austin, the press kit for Lovers Of Hate has just returned from the printers. It's something of a comic book, created by Monofonus Press (who helped back the film), and in it you'll find beautifully rendered illustrations of people who hold vague and eerie likenesses to the makers of the film. Including yours truly, represented by a black and white salty sea dog of a cameraman at least thirty years my senior. The picture is a cribbing of this photograph, which was taken on a very hot day in the back of an old Caddy in Memphis. The polar opposite of the weather we'll be hiding from in the Eccles when the lights dim on Sunday. Notice I said 'we.' I guess I've made up my mind.
