The 2010 Woodstock Film Festival, taking place September 29-October 3, announced their lineup of films, panels and special events. From the official press release: - DON’T QUIT YOUR DAYDREAM (East Coast Premiere) – Directed by Clark Stiles and Merritt Lear. A musical adventure featuring director Stiles and his band The Good Listeners, as they embark on a last ditch, cross country, album-recording extravaganza to save their musical identity and hopefully their careers. They collaborate with mostly local, unknown and eclectic talent across the USA, to create a diverse new album, featuring an amazing compilation of talented musicians and songs. Adrian Grenier (Entourage, Love in the Time of Money, The Devil Wears Prada) returns to the WFF as a producer of the film as well as a performer. * MUSIC PERFORMANCE by The Good Listeners with Adrian Grenier at the Bearsville Theater, Thursday night, Sept. 30, following the screening of the film at 8:15pm. ONLINE SALES GO LIVE ON SEPTEMBER 6 at www.woodstockfilmfestival.com |

Seconds after meeting Entourage’s Adrian Grenier (just as charismatic in person, and taller than I’d imagined), he tells me he has to zip to the washroom. I try to escape to the other end of the swank Thompson Hotel suite, but can’t avoid hearing the tinkle, flush and (I listen for it) tap. “So even celebrities have to go to the washroom, huh?” I ask when he emerges. “Yup,” he smiles. “We need to drain the weasel.” Deconstructing celebrity culture – particularly the “paps” who hound the rich and famous – is what his doc, Teenage Paparazzo’s, all about. Grenier follows the life of Austin Visschedyk, a mop-haired shooter who begins photographing him, only to become semi-famous himself. Has making the film changed your relationship to the “paps”? |
