What Is It?

Last week I had the good fortune of attending a press showing of Crispin Glover's film What Is It? followed by the opportunity to conduct a video interview with him for Thirsty Media. This was to be the culmination of a three year mini-obsession for me. After seeing the trailer for the film, it sprang right to the top of my list of things I had to absolutely see regardless of the circumstances. I did more research into the past of Crispin Glover. I ordered his album, found a signed copy of his book "Oak Mott" in New York (that copy is now double-signed), and even snagged a supper bootlegged copy of his film "Rubin and Ed." The official article will be online come December 1st, but in the meantime, here is the audio from the exchange complete and unedited, along with a trailer for the film. What Is It? is the first of a trilogy. He has finished production of the second film, "It Is Fine, Everything Is Fine." If you live in the Chicago area, I highly recommend getting your asses out to the Music Box and seeing his presentation next weekend. He is going to be doing an hour of reading from his books (which are great by the way), showing his film, giving a Q & A and also showing Werner Herzog's, "Even Dwarfs Started Small." These films are not going to be widely released, if at all. He only tours with them, so this is a very special opportunity. Highly Recommended!
