In this month's Film Comment, the cover story interview with director Richard Linklater continues into an online part 2. Sweet. Cinecultist really applauds this growing trend by entertainment publications to make more content available on the web and it does seems fitting with Linklater's DIY roots. Blogging, free online articles, filming someone carrying around a vial with Madonna's pap smear in it�it all goes hand in hand, right?
Here's just one choice bit from Linklater's conversation with Gavin Smith:
"When I did Waking Life, I was like, �Yeah, this is the same guy who did Slacker.� It�s the way my brain works, I guess. This is how I feel about the world. I�m looking for a new way to tell a story, I�m looking for a way to cram in a bunch of ideas that don�t necessarily fit into a movie�without even being that conscious of it back then. The more movies you make, the less pressure there is on any one film. The trouble when you only have a few films is those films define you completely....So for me it�s about just carving off little pieces of myself here and there."[via GreenCine Daily] Posted by karen at July 13, 2006 9:55 AM
