John Cameron Mitchell


I'm pre-recording an interview with the director of SHORTBUS and HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH tomorrow night.

Any of you lot got any bright questions you'd like me to ask him?

Considering his first film was transfering a stage play to the screen, how would he go about transfering Shortbus for the stage?

You could always ask him to play "Gay Porn, Country Singer, or Pro Wrestler?" I hear all the kids are doing it.

Without their individual quests for personal freedoms – a quest for sex and drugs before there was rock and roll; a quest which spawned the western world’s first counter-culture, the beatniks – the hippy movement of the Sixties would never have happened, and punk would have been a quiet snarl rather than a global reaction.
