INTERVIEW- "All These Wonderful Things" interviews "Must Read After My Death" filmmaker Morgan Dews by Mark Lipsky on 2009-02-16
Morgan Dews' MUST READ AFTER MY DEATH had its US premiere in June at the Los Angeles Film Festival, but, like Tommy Davis' ONE MINUTE TO NINE, it had already had a strong run on the international film festival circuit before it hit stateside, even though it's a truly American story.
Based on audio tape diaries and audio correspondence between his grandparents in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the film is a beautiful, dreamlike accounting of a troubled family in the midst of changing times, particularly differing attitudes toward sex, mental health and psychiatry. It gets a US limited theatrical release via Gigantic next month.
