WATCH OUT
With Steve Balderson's new film screening in Lawrence next Monday, and beginning it's U.S. tour, I'd thought I'd share some interview footage shot of Steve and actor Matt Riddlehoover during production. The next MICRO-FILM (coming soon!) will feature an article about Steve and his work.

FIRECRACKER and Steve Balderson
Back from the pick-up shoot for BUNKER HILL, I stumbled across an interesting posting on the blog LOST IN NEGATIVE SPACE, regarding local (Wamego is only a mere 40 miles from Topeka) filmmaker Steve Balderson and his recent feature FIRECRACKER... which led me to THE RUED MORGUE, a blog by San Antonio writer Russ Ruediger. In August, Ruediger did a review of FIRECRACKER - a movie that he did not like, but which he could not just dismiss - which led to him interviewing Balderson in two segments - 1st and 2nd .
Being a freelance writer and working on my own story about FIRECRACKER for the next issue of MICRO-FILM, I can't comment on Mr. Ruediger's writings... but the exchange between Mr. Ruediger and Mr. Balderson is important to share, since they touch on a lot of issues that normally don't get talked about regarding film and filmmaking. And, in an oblique way, they also provide a great commentary on the recent film experiences that I've had, without having to directly name names.
If you haven't seen FIRECRACKER yet, I recommend that you rent it at your nearest store (whether local or Netflix).
