Getting ready to leave for the Nashville Film Festival. I’ll be there until Sunday.
The opening film tonight is Steven Schachter’s The Deal, starring William H. Macy, Meg Ryan, and Elliot Gould. Schachter and Macy should be in the audience, which would be awesome.

Yesterday was April Fool’s, so you can imagine all the lies and half-truths that found their way through the internet to (un)suspecting victims around the world. I found myself closing my RSS feeder in the afternoon for a while due to its rampancy. The ONE April Fool’s joke that actually got me for a moment [...]
