    Randall,

    “Lord of Illusions” was my second Boswell score… and also my favorite. “Dust Devil” would be second, then an obscure film called “The War Zone”.

    If you find time go to www.BrettAHart.com Navigate to Portfolio and check out “The Fine Line”. It’s a 4 minute trailer that I shot when I was 27 yrs w/o a script. Landed me an option with Gerald Molen (Schindler’s List, Jurassic Park, Rain Man). I used Simon’s work from “Lord Of Illusions” and Barry’s from “The Lion In Winter”.

    Great news about Scott’s interview. Look forward to reading.

    Have a great weekend.

    Sweet "Simon Boswell".  Great composer.  Also someone I first contacted about "Bone Dry' 7 years ago after finishing the script.  Have become pretty good friends with him since. 

    Great interview.

    Randall,

    Just caught your write up on the "Millennium" c.d. at Randall Larson's Soundtrax. I can't wait to see what you liner notes. Got an email today from a wonderful distributor who also had a hand in helping the series make it to DVD.

    Talk about 6 degrees of separation.

    Randall, Looking so forward to the c.d.
    Thanks again!

    Best Wishes, Brett

    BTFB INTERVIEW PT II

    http://backtofrankblack.com/news.html

    “On Friday, BTFB was proud to unveil the first part of our exclusive interview with director and Millennium fan, Brett Hart. Today we bring you the second part of this highly enjoyable interview and hope you will keep your comments coming. Interviews come and interviews go but we were delighted by the unprecedented outpouring of praise for Brett's work and thoughts, we knew that Bone Dry enjoyed a high degree of popularity amongst supporters of Lance's career, we never knew how unilateral or passionate that support was.

    BONE DRY - BTFB EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

    http://backtofrankblack.com/news.html

    BTFB

    Brett Hart is an up and coming film director and one who should definitely demand your attention. It is no secret that I have been an aficionado of the continuing career of Lance Henriksen, spending as much time admiring his work as I do I feel relatively comfortable in reviewing the features he has appeared in and, like a great many of his followers, I believe ’Bone Dry’, Brett’s début as a movie director, to be the most impressive feature that Lance has starred in for some time. Imagine my delight when I discovered that we shared an admiration of Millennium also.........
