Post-Screening Report

The Stuy-Town screening went off without a hitch. We had a small but appreciative audience, including 12in12 alums Derek Van Gorder and Rick Lattimer, and there was a lively Q&A both between discs and after the program. One woman in the audience noted that all of the male characters in the films seemed to be victims in one way or another. “Uh, yes,” I said. “We totally did that on purpose!” But I don’t think she believed me.
Our gracious hostess, Stacey
It’s always interesting to see the films with an audience. At this point, I think I have a fair amount of perspective on the whole experience, but it’s still difficult to separate the movies themselves from the process of making them. I watch “Moving Pictures,” and I can still feel the stickiness on my hands from the sparkling cider we used in lieu of champagne; I watch “The Proposal,” and the panic and joy of that hectic shoot come back to me in full force. Being in a room with strangers, hearing and feeling them react as the stories unfold, helps me detach myself from those memories — and to see the films, at last, simply as films.
Thanks again to Stacey Burgay for making it all happen, and to Theresa Lopez for all her help with the technical stuff. And thanks to all who attended! It was a lovely time.
