I LIKE KILLING FLIES Opens July 28
When I was in New York, Alec and I had the chance to get together with Matt Mahurin while he was editing his new film FEEL. We were lucky enough to be able to watch about a half hour of the film. He also told us that THINKfilm ws going to distribute his first film, I LIKE KILLING FLIES. It opens on July 28. There were a couple of clips from the film in the press package. Matt said it would be okay to post them. One of my favorites was a clip of Kenny Shopsin talking about the responsibility of serving food to the public.
We saw the film at Sundance and were lucky to have chance to talk at great length with Matt (and his wonderful illustrator wife, Lisa) about the making of he film. He talked about his process, his background and the budgeting of his first film. He spoke with a candor that is rare at Sundance. People are never willing to share the "real" budget because they're trying to sell their movie for as much as possible. It was inspiring to hear how he really made it. One of my favorite sequences in the film is where we get a view of the Shopsin Soup Sampler Take the time to sample Matt's first feature. His second course is coming right behind it.
