Long Live the New Flesh. .

I am extremely happy to announce that an interview I conducted with David Cronenberg a couple of years ago at The Festival of Fear in Toronto will be on the special features of the Koch Media reissue of Cronenberg's seminal masterpiece Videodrome. Here is a link to a website to order the DVD/Blu-ray. Link. One of many cool things about this German reissue is the fact that they will be releasing the director's cut with four more minutes of footage as well as the original theatrical version. Plus there are a slew of special features with the film.

                                     Here I am with David Cronenberg August 29th, 2010.

David Cronenberg meets Ken Russell

I have been a videographer capturing many film events from Toronto, Ontario to Austin, Texas for quite some time. Last August at Rue Morgue's Festival of Fear I had the great honor of recording the first time two great filmmakers met. David Cronenberg was the guest of honor at this convention and was speaking at a panel with Rue Morgue's Editor in Chief Dave Alexander when it was brought up that Cronenberg had always wanted to meet fellow filmmaker Ken Russell who was also in attendance. I walked up the aisle with Mr. Russell as he was wheeled up to present Mr. Cronenberg with a lifetime achievement award. Below is my footage, raw unedited, capturing a great moment of two master filmmakers meeting. This footage has taken on greater importance as Mr. Russell passed away on November 27th, 2011.
