okay, this is more like a request than a comment, but (kevin) is it important that you film in your hometown area. are you fond of jersey like shy..la..man (you know, the 6th sense dir.) is of philly. just needed to know cos avy kaufman *connection* was casting dir. for that and 'rounders' w/matt damon, who is also friend to your films. what i'm getting at is there seems to be a boom in philly's film market that's spearheaded by directors like you and 6th sense-guy. not to mention little people like my small-town friends are turning up as extras in your movies. actors are catching on (or speaking up) about doing these movies i.e. denzel, bruce willis, etc. and robert deniro is hanging out at my haunt, but nobody knows about it cos it's lil' ol' philly instead of new york. i need some feedback from you (i'm writing for a new philly magazine) cos this is a hot topic (i think). so, please email me - even if i miss my deadline i'd still wanna know! latah...
