Monday, Morgan and Brendan had interviews for some online stuff, then
we did the Sundance interview in bed with hostess Laurie, which was funny,
and then we lunched at the chalet, took Jose Zuniga and Brendan to Mayra's
for the Filmscouts interview, went to a Northwest airlines party at the
mercato, chatted with director John O'hara ("Wonderland") who
is getting good buzz. Then I went to the press screening at the Yarrow,
met with the Beyond Films people who think their film "Blackrock"
and "Hurricane" are the two best films at the festival but I don't
think they have the cash to buy it, LA Weekly film editor extraordinaire
Manohla Dargis enthused after the screening, calling it the "best film
I have seen so far" then dined with Peeler, Byck and "Hurricane"
genius cinematographer Quique Chediak, introduced them to Geoff Gilmour,
swung by the pad, went to Grappa for the Lakeshore party, ran into Liev
Schreiber ("Walking and Talking," "Ransom"), Dermot
Mulroney ("Kansas City"), Molly Parker from "Kissed,"
our sales agent and producer's rep Cassian Elwes said we are close to closing
a 7 figure deal for foreign rights, chatted with Hollywood producer Cottie
Chubb, then went to the Wasatch Brew Pub to see Burris, and went home in
the car with photographer Robert Baldridge.
