Bette Gordon of Handsome Harry interviewed At Tribeca Film Festival

Another of the great films at the Tribeca Film Festival this year was the film by Bette Gordon, Handsome Harry. This is an intriguing drama by an independent filmmaker is known for her introspection and exploration of sexuality.

I had the chance to speak with Bette, and got to speak with Jamey Sheridan as well as Mariann Mayberry (who I did not even recognize at first!). While my conversations with Sheridan and Nayberry were off camera (and I might add quite pleasant), I did interview Gordon on video. And I found the interview to be filled with unique insights into the mind of an artist that has been captivating audiences for 35 years now.

(and I apologize for the background noise. It was quite busy at the Direct TV Tribeca Press Center. Next year I'll try to get a quieter room)







The film stars Jamey Sheridan, Steve Buscemi, John Savage, Campbell Scott, Aidan Quinn, Karen Young and Mariann Mayberry. Truely a tour-de-force of actors.

If you enjoyed the interview then I am sure you will enjoy Handsome Harry. I did.
