Conflict of Interest A Small Bubble of Heaven

Posted by Charles Mudede on April 25 at 14:29 PM

My god! Sharing a marquee with Charles Burnett (Killer of Sheep) and Alain Resnais (Private Fears in Public Places).
mudede364%282%29.jpgThis is as close to heaven as I will ever get. Those who hate my work, my very being, every idea I produce, please allow me this moment of real happiness. Burnett is the greatest African American director, and Alain Resnais is the greatest French director of his generation. Realistically speaking, I’ll never make a work of art that can compare with Burnett’s To Sleep With Anger or Resnais’ Hiroshima mon amour, and so it is nothing more than enough that I get to share this Manhattan marquee with the gods of my imagination.

Resnais? Please. Godard and Truffaut blow that pretentious ass-clown out of the water. Seriously, congrats though.

Gordon Parks was the greatest African American director.

I saw on article on your movie on Slate, but it had Robinson Devor as the director, not you. Is that a psuedonym or a different person?

@16: Robinson Devor is the director; Charles Mudede is the unusually involved writer.

You're also sharing a marquee with The Holy Mountain. You have reached the summit of cool, my man, and you don't even realize it.
