Did you hear back from Sarasota?

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

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.
