I just got back from hearing Robert Katz and Bill Weinman speak about their experiences working in Hollywood. I want to take this moment to give them a huge thanks for coming all the way back to DeKalb to speak to us Hollywood-wannabes. ;) I also want to thank them for bringing a film by Frank E. Flowers called Swallow. Everyone should keep an eye out for Frank E. Flowers in the near future. His next film is going to be called Haven and, based on what I saw tonight, it should be great! Flowers' work reminded me of the first time I saw a film by David Gordon Green at Ebert's Overlook Films Festival. That movie was George Washington and it had the same feel that I got from Flowers' work tonight. I'm now a David Gordon Green fanatic, especially after seeing All The Real Girls, so I fully expect to become a Frank E. Flowers fanatic as well. Also, I really enjoyed the editing sample Bill Weinman showed us. I tend to go too long in my writing--and I'm horrible at cutting things out--so editing is one talent I very much admire. . . and envy! ;) All in all, it was a great couple of hours spent and I thank them both.
