Another person from the festival called me an hour ago to ask some questions, seemed very interested in having me come down but had to check to see if the budget allows for it at this late date; she said they'd call me back, probably tonight. I'll let you know what I hear.

Also, can you tell me anything you know regarding a distributor or when you might find about that? The Rolling Stone editor is going to ask me about that when I talk to her. If you don't know yet, that's fine, but I need to know when you might find out.

ok,

here is what you have to do ASAP like right now.

email Tom and Holly who run the fest.

tom@sarasotafilmfestival.com
holly@sarasotafilmfestival.com

tell them sorry for the last minute etc... Tell them you are writing
for Rolling Stone about the Burroughs films, mine and Buscemi. Tell
them you have been following my film.

They have invited several people from different publications. They
invited Regina Weinreich  from Huffington. so tell them you are
writing for R. Stone. You can email Regina at regbob@aol.com if you
want to ask her about it.

Then they will get you interviews with me Buscemi, Patti etc,

Tell them you will mention the fest in your piece and ask them to
formally invite you down. That means hotel and accommodations.

Don't tell them I told you to do this, because press is supposed to be
separate and not with any films. email them now. I fly down on
wednesday

Good luck

Yony
