Ambush Q&A

Saw the new movie "Way Off Broadway" at the Laemmle Fairfax theater tonight. It's a small, independent picture about young artists in NYC coming to grips with the fact they aren't going to be "the next big thing."

Unbeknownst to me, the director and a couple of the actors were available after the show to answer questions. Since there were only about 15 people in the auditorium, and I always sit way in the front, I was trapped.

Lots of predictable "what was your vision/what was your motivation" questions -- as you would expect from a L.A. audience.

Actually, the Q&A will help me to remember what would otherwise be a pretty forgettable movie. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but I don't think the writer/director, Daniel Kay, is going to be the next big thing.
