Bangkok in the Daily News

With the Film Festival quickly approaching, we've received our first newspaper article about the film. Being that I'm the only one that actually lives in the valley, I made it on the front page (of the center most insert of the paper - right behind the Big 5 Sporting Goods ad). The article actually came out yesterday, but I thought I could wait for the online version to get a good clean copy, since the print I picked up was pretty bad. Man, was I wrong.

I'd talked with the reporter last monday. The morning after I'd gotten back from Bangkok. He'd had no idea of my situation or that I'd been away. Colin had warned me that someone would be calling from the Daily News. Along with the L.A. Times, they're notorious for being very pushy with telemarketing subscriptions. I'd decided to pretend like he was tele-marketer when he called, and tell him I already had a subscription (the only answer that they don't have a comeback to), but we got a bad connection and it ruined the whole effect.

I did manage to get Sow's name in the article, but Ray's only mention was, "This past October, the couple had a baby boy." Well, it's a mention at least. Gotta see if I can get him into Flushed Away.
