a huge, and very deserved, congratulations to the team behind the magnificent documentary, ‘william s. burroughs - a man within’. it was announced today that the film will be distributed by oscilloscope laboratories in new york, founded by adam yauch of the beastie boys.

the project will make its theatrical debut in the fall, followed by dvd and digital releases. television gets its share of ‘the godfather of punk’ as part of the 2010-11 season of the emmy-award winning pbs series ‘independent lens’.

with never-before-seen footage and interviews from his closet friends and collaborators, including iggy pop, gus van sant, genesis p-orridge, david croenenberg, laurie anderson and more - plus original music from thurston moore, lee ranaldo and patti and jesse smith - this should be a great watch for anyone even remotely interested in one of the most fascinating and inspiring personas of the last century.

as we put on the finishing touches, i’d like to say it has been a real treat working with the entire crew. shout-outs to director yony leyser for his ambitious vision and editorial/production house bulletproof film for bringing it all together.

hello again!  busy, busy, busy..  so here’s the good stuff:

‘anything goes (vale todo)’ is now available on dvd. you can purchase or rent from amazon, netflix, blockbuster, and other fine retailers.
