Thanks Pip, for the wonderful note, and the video...
Hoping it would be fine with you, I posted your note on my blog, for all to
see...

I also just wrote a blog post, about my own memories of seeing Breer's
films... It includes a letter I wrote to him in 2006 but never sent.

He was (and still is) one of my two favorite film-makers ever...
The only time I was able to tell him how much I loved his films (while
working at the Coop, on the phone), his reply was a sweet 'You must be
exaggerating, young man...'
