Somehow we've all missed this over the last month. It was emailed to me last night by a filmmaker who implored "this must be blogged." No introduction really needed, just check it out:

Eric, thanks for your really poignant comment. It's very true, I believe, and hopefully with the release of HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRS, an entire audience of underserved artists can feel hopeful.

That was awesome! I gotta say though...

Harvey Pekar: So what you're saying is, you identify with those nerds.

Toby Radloff: Yes. I consider myself a nerd. And this movie has uplifted me. There's this one scene, where a nerd grabs the microphone during a pep rally and announces that he is a nerd and that he is proud of it and stands up for the rights of other nerds.
