it is a bit of a slow read but the book DOWN and DIRTY PICTURES by peter biskind about the rise of miramax, sundance, and indie cinema is fascinating. the truth behind tarantino, soderbergh, solondz, labute, and smith, among others, is an eye-opening view into the reality of "independant" cinema.

i´m not ready but SONAR is upon us again. god help my liver.
