And don't be too jealous about the Maddin meeting, it was a little awkward. {:3 I should amend that it’s not that I wouldn’t pay to see local films, just far less than the $8.50 asking price.

It does something that most blogs and film criticism fail at (or never attempt): it's compelling literature. Very personal and witty and unpretentious. I am so jealous of you getting to talk to Guy Madden. I wonder how many people reading your review understand our passion (or know who Madden is). I'm really glad you went to the KIFF (and got feedback too!) and just keep in mind that the money you paid helps the industry in the best possible way: locally. Spielberg and Hollywood do not need, and usually don't deserve, our money. The big news for the SLIFF is that Peter Greenway will be there. He is probably my favorite living director and even a bit of an idol for me. I've read several books about his films and about him personally in addition to a couple of his essays. I think I'll post a paper I wrote about him a little before the festival starts (which is November 8-18). Sorry I am so late to responding to this, but I really liked the whole tone.

By the way, yes I know that's backwards. John goes to the Kansas Independent Film Festival, the epic of novel proportions.
