torino #2

it is the aftternoon and i have no idea what is going on. at the theater - no one knows anything - on the street a woman comes up to me - it is paola - i am in good hands - i take a breath.

i do not want to say we sold out, WE SOLD OUT. Before the film they introduced me, my interpeter marina translated the intro, then it was my turn to speak, first words, holy shit, and then in italian, i said my film is very sensitive, my film is very profound, my film is very sympatheticm NOT. i then went to define my film as the oppisite, marina translated and the audience laughed and never stopped. i do not want to say the projection was great, it was phenomenal, the sound was
right at the edge where i like it. i watched til the end of the piper laurie sequence, they got it. of course we had the requisite numbers of walk outs in the first scene, but their seats were quickly refilled. i hit the streets for a smoke and a woman approached me, you are steve, yes- i chose your film, i thought it was very funny. i am going to be asking questions in the q n a. - i then met everybody and everybody is smoking like fiends. i popped into the film at the last scene, izzy kissing julie was almost romantic.they loved everything acting, music, and camera, and the q n a was phenomenl, i have to run
though to the film makers lunch



wuv and kisses
