james.
the work wasnıt rushed unfinished anywhere and wonıt be.
we agreed to premiere at rotterdam based on assurances from jim hoberman
that mary would get the materials. rotterdam is a great festival and we
were honored to be invited. surely a festival with many jack smith fans and
potential opportunities for future screenings. it is incredibly
embarrassing to have withdrawn the premiere after the catalogue was
published. and costly to the production.
your presuming we networked our film into IFFR is disrespectful to the
programmers and the festival itself. for shame james tully. cis bierinckx
screened a fine cut in the fall and recommended it for programming. we did
not confirm the invitation until we received several assurances we would
receive the elements from jim. regrettably.
we are not aggressively promoting the film james. we are aggressively
preparing for color correction, dialogue edits, sound mix, music, graphics
etc. etc. to make our screening on 31-jan. many things, by the way, we
planned to do just once.
whatever measures you use to judge ³accomplished² artist james are your own.
why not just keep them that way? have you ever met mary? do you know what
sheıs done? did you come to her events? most people who came complimented
the experience. and whatıs wrong with an open bar at an event? i
personally celebrated it as a major coup and not one person complained.
