Hi, Yony-

If you can arrange for any of that, I'd be happy to do it and could ensure a Rolling Stone piece; I'd also cover it for True/Slant, Huffington Post, Bushwick BK, and could do another version later on for other print publications as well, especially if I can interview any of these folks either by phone or in person. Get back to me when you can. Also, let me know what you know thus far regarding a release date and distributor.

Thanks,

Hey barrett,

I have two ideas that might juice up your article so it can run.

Film festivals invite certain journalists from larger media.


My film will be playing at two fests coming up that would do that.

1. The sarasota film festival which is focusing on Burroughs this
year. Steve Buscemi and Oren Moverman are launching the film project
Queer, Patti Smith is performing and they are screening my film.
If you want, I bet they would fly you down and put you up. You could
interview Steve Patti and I and then rolling stone might really bite.
This is this Wednesday through Saturday... so it is really coming up
soon.
2. Maryland film festival, which is closer to NYC. That is May 6-9th.
John Waters would be there and you could interview him.
