DP/30s...

Both of these interviews have been around since Sundance, but I don't think they were offered in a large size in Quicktime... so now they are...

How do you have time to actually watch movies at festivals when you're doing all of these 30 minute interviews?

Good interview with Toback, he's an interesting guy. Will definitely check out Tyson. I was surprised to hear that he doesn't do rewrites, like Mamet and others do. I understand his reasoning behind not doing them, but gotta pay the bills and I sense that he's not banking a ton on the last few movies he's made.

David, you should really consider changing the DP/30 format to something like "15 Minutes With ...".

30 minutes is just too damn long. I can never make it through one of these. Way too much flab. Plus the 15 minutes thing plays off the Warhol quote. Hack them back to their best and tighest essence.

Just a thought.

Sorry it's too long for you, Bolt. I have no interest in making them shorter, probably for many of the reasons you want them to be shorter. Hope you enjoy the YouTube previews... under 10 minutes.

David, you should really consider providing the DP/30 and Super Movie Friends in a podcast or MP3 format, as I've suggested-- nay, DEMANDED-- many times before. I can't watch internet video at work but I can certainly listen to this stuff in the car or on a jog.

Just a thought.

I need to get into the habit of doing it, Eric. It's not terribly time consuming, but it needs to be incorporated into the process.

As you can see, it has been evolving regularly through the process of doing this.

Thanks for the ongoing reminders...

I am hereby placated. For now.
