Hi - so - Greg Dancer is moving to Copenhagen!
Copenhagen is cool. That's where the "Dogme 95" group is. They are a group of filmmakers who wrote a manifesto (in 1995, as you might guess) about how movies should be made -- cheaply, for the most part, for both values-related and artistic reasons. Very interesting. They made 'Dogville' (with Nicole Kidman) which I loved. I thought the lack of walls in the set was fascinating and very effective. The story takes place in a small American town, but the set is all just one large warehouse, with "chalk" marking where the "houses" start and stop -- among other things. It's a gloomy, disturbing film, a la the short story "The Lottery." If you're interested in independent film, I highly recommend it.
So, Greg, are you going to go find Lars? Tell him I said 'hey.'
I have other interesting news about other people, but not the express permission to share it. Anytime you want to let me know that I can share, please do.
And thanks for posting a comment, Jack!
