Frameline 41: The Pop Quiz

Frameline 41: The Pop Quiz

FRAMELINE 41 initiated a pair of press days for those of us covering the festival, and it offered me a rare opportunity to talk to many of the participating filmmakers while they were all gathered together in one place. The result was my inspiration to do a pop quiz with them, and the question I… Read More »

PUSHING DEAD with Tom E. Brown

PUSHING DEAD with Tom E. Brown

One of the first things I established with Tom E. Brown when I spoke with him on June 17, 2016 was that his debut feature film, PUSHING DEAD, was not autobiographical. It does, however, reflect his mordant sense of humor about living with HIV+ status, and it includes an interlude where a character is pelted… Read More »

Winning THE CASE AGAINST 8

When I spoke with renowned filmmaker Rob Reiner (A FEW GOOD MEN, THIS IS SPINAL TAP, WHEN HARRY MET SALLY) on June 20. 2014, it was the morning after his film, THE CASE AGAINST 8 had kicked off the 38th annual Frameline Festival in San Francisco. The film, which Reiner co-produced with his wife, Michelle,… Read More »

PARTY MONSTER

PARTY MONSTER

For some people, reality is a choice and they would rather not. Why be an office drone when you can be a star, even if it’s only for a night and in a dress made of toilet paper? This was the thinking behind the Club Kids scene and the backdrop for one of New York’s… Read More »

Fenton Bailey & Randy Barbato Put PARTY MONSTER in Perspective

Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato had already told the story of PARTY MONSTER, about the Club Kid murders, a few years back with their documentary of the same name. Turning it into their first feature film seemed, for them, the logical thing to do. When I talked with them on June 28, 2003, they were being honored at the San… Read More »

Kyle MacLachlan Has A TOUCH OF PINK

Kyle MacLachlan Has A TOUCH OF PINK

It’s impossible to talk with Kyle MacLachlan and not think of one of his most iconic roles, Special Agent Dale Cooper from television’s “Twin Peaks”. The character in David Lynch’s quirky series seems to have been tailor made for MacLachlan’s body language, ebullient personality, and deliciously clipped enunciation. For his latest role, the spirit of Cary Grant, he’s… Read More »
