Hi, Lauren-

I've been in touch with a couple of editors at Rolling Stone but have never actually written for them. I'm also away from New York for a while. I'd be happy to try to pitch a piece on Leyser and the film to some other publication, particularly if you happen to know of some publications that you'd like me to try for.

Hi Barrett,
I hope this email finds you well. Yony Leyser gave me your contact information.
You freelance for Rolling Stone?
Would love to send you a copy of the film and see if there's anything you might be able to do with it. Yony will be in NY to do press on Nov 15th if you might be able to sit down with him then.

WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS: 
A MAN WITHIN

directed by Yony Leyser




Featuring never-before-seen archival footage of Burroughs, as well as exclusive interviews with colleagues and confidants including John Waters, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, Gus Van Sant, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Sonic Youth, Laurie Anderson, Amiri Baraka, Jello Biafra, and David Cronenberg, WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS: A MAN WITHIN is a probing, yet loving look at the man whose works at once savaged conservative ideals, spawned countercultural movements, and reconfigured 20th century culture. The film is narrated by Peter Weller, with a soundtrack by Patti Smith and Sonic Youth.

Burroughs was one of the first writers to break the boundaries of queer and drug culture in the 1950’s. His novel Naked Lunch is one of the most recognized and respected literary works of the 20th century and has influenced generations of artists.  The intimate documentary breaks the surface of the troubled and brilliant world of one of the greatest authors of all time.
