Rockburn Presents

Two time Oscar nominee, John Sayles, is considered by many to be the father of independent film. After years working as a director/writer and actor, under Roger Corman in several Hollywood ‘B’ movies, John Sayles enjoyed his first box office success with “The Secaucus Seven”. Since then, he has had critical success with films such as "Lone Star", "Eight Men Out", "The Brother From Another Planet", and "Passion Fish". This year John Sayles released his seventeenth film, "Amigo" and at the same time a novel "A Moment in the Sun" . Ken Rockburn spoke to John Sayles in his hometown of Schenectady, New York.

Nice to see a longer interview with a writer. Small picky point: there's an error in the name of Boyden's first novel.
Dave:
That was truly an excellent interview about an interesting journey.
Tom:
Always enjoy watching Luba and her Airfarce mates. They often delivered their message subtly and effectively.
