Allow Me To Take YOU To Venice To Experience DARK HORSE

It’s pretty crazy how fast everything moves these days. We are able to leap countries and time to find what we missed continents away.

Today DARK HORSE has it’s press and industry screening in Toronto. Tomorrow is the North American Premiere. But I know how to make you feel like you are with us. Let me take you to Venice…

I arrive here to find interviews and press conference clips already up online. Check it out (and of course I rant a little bit). You even get to see the photo call and a NEW clip at the end!

Even our entrance at the screening is posted.

If it is specifics you want, here’s Selma Blair talking about working with Todd:

Jordan Gelber offers up his view of the collaboration with Mr. Solondz (6.5 min) and then Selma adds a bit more of her perspective (6 min.):

I am sure there is more to find. But I have to say there’s a particular pleasure getting to relive your pleasures moments after you’ve had them.
