Hi Scott....I need to talk to Polta and the
Cinematheque.......he seems to only want two showings
at the 9th St. Center, and be a co presenter....what I
vision is two shows at 9th St sponsored by Canyon, one
at Cinematheque and one at PFA....Polta feels that
four shows are overkill and does not want one at
Cinematheque nor PFA....so we widely differ.....let me
get back to you regarding this.

In regards to Bruce, yes we were very close, although
argued quite a bit.....the week has been hard and I
fear vultures are already swooping down on his
beleagured wife. We are trying to sort out the film
issue and trying to get them back to Canyon......

Do not feel bad about the NEA....I think that they
have "red flagged" us since the 1997 poronography
issue and are on our case.....I am starting to search
for a pro bono lawyer, etc......I will keep you posted
about the screenings and the NEA, hopefully within the
next few day once I clear away things with
Polta.......take care for now....
