Bujalski hits the NY Times
Filed under: Independent, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand, Cinematical Indie
I go to Los Angeles for one weekend, and I miss a profile of Andrew Bujalski in the New York Times, courtesy of Village
Voice Film Editor Dennis Lim. But what a joy to return to New York last night and read this little gem:"Hoping for a shot at Hollywood screenwriting, he recently connected with some executives in Los Angeles, though he said he treated the meetings more like therapy sessions: "I would go in and tell them my problems," [Bujalski] said. "They always had a couch.""
...all of which sounds far more relaxing than any trip to Los Angeles I've ever taken. We, of course, have been on Team Bujalski for a while now, and Mutual Appreciation landed at number nine on our list of the Ten Best Films of 2005. I like the film so much that I only feel the tiniest shred of early adopter panic now that the bandwagon is packed and ready to burst. Now will somebody step up and distribute it already?

Andrew Bujalski's FUNNY HA HA and MUTUAL APPRECIATION are two of the best films I have seen in the past year and is the most original and startling debut for a young filmmaker I have ever seen. He deserves attention from Hollywood!
