"Reel Paradise" SOM article

I have a new article on www.someothermagazine.com in the October V.2 Arts section about "Reel Paradise," a movie about John Pierson, an indie film guru credited with discovering Spike Lee, "Blair Witch" and Kevin Smith. Pierson and his family leave New York for a year to live in Fiji and run a movie house.

For the article, I interviewed John Pierson and his wife Janet over the phone. I also watched the movie, so it's part profile, part review.

If you like movies of any kind or if you're curious about what it would be like to live on an island for a year, check out "Reel Paradise." It opens in the Boston area on Oct. 21 at Kendall Square Landmark Cinema in Cambridge, but I'm not sure where else it's still playing.
