Oscar-winning writer/director Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction, Beowulf) is serving a year in prison for vehicular manslaughter and DWI. Apparently, he's tweeting from prison: @avary.

I did my very first audio interview last Friday with the fabulous Charlotte Robinson, an Emmy Award-winning TV producer/director who currently hosts OUTTAKE VOICES , an innovative series that provides intimate interviews with LGBT leaders and their allies. I've always considered myself more of an "ally" than a "leader" in the gay community, but as Charlotte says,...

Jones’ first feature, 1998’s Waking Ned (aka, Waking Ned Devine), was a [...]
