A few years after that -- two years ago this very day, in fact -- I was packing for Sundance, where my latest attempt at a fiercely independent film was about to premiere. "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" was meant to be an estimable cinematic declaration; it didn't quite wind up that way.
My feelings about it remain massively conflicted; most days it's best if I don't think about it at all, and in its wake I found myself unsure of what exactly I wanted to do next. I wrote a bunch of things. One of those things happened to be "Pete's Dragon."
bye.
p.s. The soundtrack for 'The Sporting Club' 1971 film is so awesome…
