Being an indie filmmaker is like being an early anti-fascist.
Says Maggie Renzi, who produces the films of John Sayles. You’re out there fighting Franco but other people haven’t caught on yet so you’re all alone. Maggie and John are back in Manila doing post-production on Amigo, a movie on the Philippine-American War shot entirely in Bohol.
Maggie with Joel Torre, who stars in Amigo with Rio Locsin, Chris Cooper and Garrett Dillahunt who was in No Country For Old Men and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Dillahunt also played the guy who shot Wild Bill Hickock in Deadwood.
In thirty years we’ve never had a good review from the Village Voice, says John Sayles. I think it’s become an editorial policy of theirs. Wait, they had a good review of our first movie (The Return of the Secaucus Seven). Then they fired the reviewer. He said, This is what the review would’ve been if it had come out.
John with Raymond Lee. John Sayles’s most profitable movie has been Lone Star. His highest-grossing picture was Eight Men Out.
A stray cat joined the conversation from under the table. Oddly enough the cat had a moustache like Adolf Hitler’s.
