By the skin of my teeth I'm sticking to the monthly update pattern that has unofficially been established by this no doubt gripping and widely read series on my exploits as a film maker. In fact, here in London there are mere minutes til it's February - so I'd best keep a long story short.

Cinematic Catharsis at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival

Alright, I'm going to go there: The past 12 days at the Sundance Film Festival were a bit of a rough ride. And not simply because of severely first world problems like high altitute, long lines for free liquor, mediocre movies or alcohol-fueled exhaustion. Fresh from the extraordinarily despondent end of a 6-year relationship (that frankly was challenged by the essential double life that comes from spending half your time at film festivals), I made my way into Park City hoping somehow for distraction and comraderie and that sense of professional community that makes Sundance such an occasionally magical place.

Check out the audio from a very charming and energetic interview with one of my favourites, Ms. Parker Posey, who is characteristically fabulous in her Sundance movie "Price Check":
Video: The Emotional Sundance Q&A For "How To Survive a Plague"

A few days back here in Sundance I caught a screening of David France's astonishingly powerful documentary "How To Survive a Plague." A chronicle of AIDS activism in New York, the film shows how a group of men and women fought against a remarkably homophobic establishment to help bring life-saving drugs to America. The film moved me so much that I decided to check out a public screening the next day just so I could take in one of the Q&As (there wasn't one at the industry screening I initially attended). And as expected, it was pretty powerful stuff:

Video: The Hilarious Q&A At The Sundance Premiere of the Pretty Amazing "Bachelorette"

It's not going to be for everyone, but I really got into Leslye Headland's "Bachelorette" at last night's premiere. A sort of "Bridesmaids" meets "Mean Girls" by way of John Hughes, its darker and more cynical than I expected (though honestly my major complaint is that it wasn't quite dark enough). It's also probably going to offend or at least put off a lot of folks (and did last night), particularly those outside the demographic the film is significantly geared toward (gays and gals in their 20s). But I actually found it depressingly authentic in its unlikeable characters, and felt that its entire cast - Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, Lizzie Caplan and breakout Rebel Wilson - were across the board stellar. Wilson was also fucking hilarious on stage afterwards at a rather riotous Q&A, the entire video from which is available below:
