Time passes!
It's been a month since my last post, urging you to see AMIGO in the Philippines. We did just fine there, stayed in the theaters for 10 days, against TRANSFORMERS, and started a positive buzz for the provincial and scholastic release of the film in the upcoming month.
WE ARE ABOUT TO OPEN IN THE US! I think we have a really good strategy, opening August 19 in cities with large Filipino populations, and expanding during the following weeks to more cities where lots of Filipinos live. Our outreach to the FilAm community has been so rewarding, resulting in more openings than we had originally planned, and- thanks so many times to Dylan Marchetti and his team at Variance Films- we are in all the right theaters. We'll be playing in mainstream theaters in cities like Milpitas and Tukwila and also in art cinemas, where we hope the non-FilAm Sayles fans will find us easily.
NEW YORK AMC Empire 25! Little AMIGO in a great 42nd St theater. How cool is that? Come for the 7pm show on August 19 and 20 and you'll see John Sayles answering questions at the end of the show.
Here's the line-up for August 19 openings around the country. Spread the word to your friends and family.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI did not know where to write this so I will do so here. Please accept my apology if it is in the wrong place. I am interested in contacting John Sayles about his book, A moment in the Sun. A website about the book (Web-Only Bonus Material) has taken numerous photographs directly from my book and websites (see below) pertaining to my great-grandfather, "Soapy" Smith, without permission or acknowledgment. I am concerned that some of these may have also been published in the book as well.
I did not see my book listed in Mr. Sayles bibliography so it is safe to say that he used outdated and incorrect material regarding Soapy Smith. Anyone interested in learning about the real Soapy is welcome to visit my sites. In the mean time I would like to have the photograph issue resolved. I've spent most of my life (I'm 52) researching my great-grandfather and I'm sure you will understand my being upset when someone comes along and just plunks it off my site with no "thank you" or link back to my site and book.
I look forward to hearing from you.
