So&#8230; in the words of Mr. Jeff Lycett&#8230;</p> <p><i>Hi, all.</p> <p>yesterday was another successful screening of Denim. the coney island film festival was very welcoming. we were in a block of several very good short films, which made me feel honored to have been selected.</p> <p>during the question and answer afterward they asked the various directors to talk about the inspiration for their film and share a favorite coney island memory. i spewed out my usual story regarding demin, &#8220;my friend, the producer, she&#8217;s a crazy person&#8230; i saw bruce in his underwear&#8230; i&#8217;m a dylan fan, but slowly converting&#8230; etc, etc.&#8221;</p> <p>then, having never been to coney island, i stated the truth, &#8220;in my thirteen years of being in new york, this is the first time i&#8217;ve been out here.&#8221;</p> <p>there was a disapproving grumble from the audience, which lead me to &#8220;boooo&#8221; myself. i then thanked the festival organizers for their acceptance of our film, as well as having the festival itself, otherwise i never would have made it out there. this won the audience over again.</p> <p>and we all lived happily ever after.</p> <p>talk soon, jeff</p> <p>p.s. i&#8217;m making the arrangements to go up to williamstown at the end of october.</i></p> Mon, 29 Sep 2008 13:36:00 PDT <a href="/articles/2008/09/29/denims-wild-ride-part-3-the-coney-screening">Denim's Wild Ride (Part 3): The Coney Screening</a> <a href="/articles/2008/09/29/denims-wild-ride-part-3-the-coney-screening">Denim's Wild Ride (Part 3): The Coney Screening</a>
