Q. What can you tell us about your new film “Plywood superstar”?
A. It’s a little bit secret… But I do know that Plywood Superstar is going to be a very strong film. It’s not going to be completed for another 5 years or so. It’s a 3 minute long film and I have shot the first 2 minutes and 40 seconds. But the final shot is going to be of Jimi Hendrix wandering around in a river in northern Canada trying to catch fish with his hands, and that shot requires a lot of expensive computer graphics that I don’t have the money for yet.
