You can always contact me on my UK mobile 00 44 7753 741 693 or by e-mail. I very much look forward to seeing you in Toronto. Warmest Regards Bill Andrew and Jeremy share a year of their lives in Don Boyd's intimate portrait of a relationship as his camera follows them from their London homes, to Brighton, Palm Springs and West Hollywood. The 20 year age gap between Chelsea based Jeremy, a Cambridge graduate and literary socialite, makes for little common ground with council estate tenant Andrew, former bus driver, heroin addict and ex-con. But this is a compelling exploration of a relationship which is as happy as any heterosexual coupling en route to marriage.

*****SPAM***** BREAKING NEWS - "Liberty Bound" supports Michael Moore's films - Wide in Cannes 2004
by Wide Cannes 2004 06 May '04

06 May '04

Paris, May the 6th 2004 Disney Miramaxs owner, has officially decided to prohibit Michael Moores producer, Miramax, from distributing, Fahrenheit 9.11. Disney argues that the release of this film documentary will endanger millions of dollars of tax breaks that Disney receives from the Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush. As you should know, the film, Fahrenheit 9.11, links Mr. Bush and prominent Saudis like the family of Osama Bin Laden. Then he criticizes Mr. Bush's actions before and after the September 11th s terrorist attacks, as well as Christine Roses first 90 minutes film documentary Liberty Bound which deals with he same tricky issues. May 19th Riviera 8 6.00 PM May 21st Palais F 9.30 AM Christine Rose let us know that she gets her inspiration directly from Michael Moores work, that she admires, despite the fact she doesnt met him yet: Moores Bowling for Columbine touched the common citizen in America (). The answer to my own sense of duty as a citizen with a desire to convey information blacked-out by the mainstream media to an uninformed public was to make a movie. Cannes movies festival should be the opportunity for Michael Moore to see her alternative work; he would appreciate Liberty Bound which is definitely in the same line than Fahrenheit 9.11. And if Moore is answering now Should this be happening in a free and open society where the moneyed interests essentially call the shots regarding the information that the public is allowed to see?. What is sure is that by being distributed by our France-based company Wide Management, Liberty Bound wont have such unexpected issue to face. For the freedom of the 7th art, we are waiting to see you in Cannes, and we do hope that you will attend the screenings of Liberty Bound during the market.
