Los Angeles

Great interviews in Los Angeles for the Algren film.  Photos to come soon.  

NY, NY

We got some great interviews in NY, with Jan Herman and Bruce Jay Friedman (see photo of Bruce above).  Salman Rushdie was suddenly unavailable, but we have hopes for March.  March will be when we return to NY for a trip to Albany and Sag Harbor, to get interviews with some old friends of Algren.  Meanwhile, John Sayles has committed to the project, as has Patti Smith, as has Wayne Kramer of the MC5.  The project is gaining steam--very exciting!!

NYC trip is next week!

We are leaving for NY next week to shoot interviews and things are looking good.  Salman Rushdie, Bruce Jay Friedman (acclaimed writer and screenwriter and friend of Algren), and Jan Herman, writer and friend of Algren.  We are also seeing Dan Simon, from Seven Stories Press, who publishes most of Algren's work.  Russell Banks had to push his interview back to March, when we will go back and also interview John Sayles--very exciting!
