Prodigal Sons premieres + great interview with Thom Powers

Long time no hear everyone. Apologies for the silence but the programme is coming together so when its done I'll have some stories to tell.
For those of you at Telluride FF I hope you got to see PRODIGAL SONS by Kimberly Reed. Its rough and ready, but is one of the few personal docs that packs a real punch. I heard there were lines around the block for it at the screening at Telluride. If you get a chance to see the next screening I can highly recommend it for film buffs or fans of 1st person insider-doc making. Why? Because Kimberly's adopted brother, Marc, just so happens to be the grandson of Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth. Check out his lumbering gait, his occasionally vicious temper and his stare. Welles is right there.
In the meantime, do check out this great conversation with Thom Powers, programmer of Toronto FF
Here.
Enlightening and engaging advice from a man with some common sense.
