Flyover!

Posted on: May 25th, 2011 by wmapother 5 Comments


A few years ago some friends and I started Flyover Film Festival in Louisville, KY, and the third annual one is coming up this June 10-12.

Ryan Daly, our festival director, has assembled a fantastic line-up for this year.  The details are here.

And Another Earth (trailer here), which doesn’t open in NY & LA until July 22 (the release after that is still t.b.d.), is opening the festival.  It plays at 7pm on Friday, June 10, at the KY Center for the Arts.

This may be the only chance to see it in Louisville on the big screen.  I’m just sayin’..

KY’s Civil Importance

Posted on: May 9th, 2011 by wmapother 3 Comments


(Okay, so I’ve been a bit absent lately.  I’m putting more of my updates on Twitter and Facebook these days..)

In honor of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the NYT has been running a wonderful series of articles on the war called ‘Disunion.’  It’s here.

On Derby Day, appropriately enough, the piece was on Kentucky and its importance to both sides.  It’s fascinating, I think, and can be found here.

Chatting with Wayne Perkey

Posted on: March 19th, 2011 by wmapother 5 Comments

Louisville radio personality Wayne Perkey has launched a series of video interviews with Louisvillians (and those who used to be..).

I’m one of the interviewees, and he and I spoke in the new auditorium of my high school, St. Xavier.  The interview is here, and my segment starts at about 14:45.
