Catching Up With Bill Ross of Tchoupitoulas
In more than a few of its slim 80 minutes, Tchoupitoulas feels like it accomplishes the impossible. Tchoupitoulas, before you keep asking, is pronounced “CHOP-ih-TOO-lus,” and it’s the second movie from Bill and Turner Ross, collectively known as the Ross Brothers. It is ostensibly a documentary, but the movie lands in a hazy area between fiction and nonfiction. You won’t find any issues being discussed, or any world problems solved, only a bleary-eyed, overnight New Orleans adventure with three teenage brothers. From the very first shot, we’re inside the brain of the younger brother, privy to his internal dialogue, and... read more

Catching Up With Peter Bogdanovich, Cheryl Hines, and Will Slocombe of Pasadena
One of the nicest surprises of the always-excellent Sarasota Film Festival this year was Will Slocombe’s Pasadena, starring Peter Bogdanovich and Cheryl Hines. It’s a pressure cooker of a family drama with a very personal connection to its writer/director. Anchored by Bogdanovich and Hines, plus standouts like Sonya Walger, Wilson Bethel, and especially a bravura performance by Alicia Witt, the film wasn’t always pleasant to watch, but it was never less than fascinating. Paste sat down with Slocombe, Bogdanovich, and Hines to discuss family connections, awkward silences, and how John Cassavetes saved Bogdanovich’s premiere once upon a time.... read more
