Hi--I did a recent interview for an online mag in the UK for the release there of WTC VIEW. The film seems to be doing well in the UK, judging by the emails and Facebook messages I've been getting lately from across the pond :) Hope you enjoy it!

Hi--so WTC VIEW is officially out in the UK now! It's available in retails stores like HMV and also online at Peccadillo Pictures website or Amazon.co.uk.

There were a couple nice reviews and articles that came out in the last week. I have listed the links below. Check them out--especially the London TIMES piece which convened a panel of New Yorkers to watch the film:

Here's the first part of the interview where Michael talks about growing up in Texas and WTC VIEW

Hi--so Michael and I were in London last week, doing some press and promotion for WTC VIEW's upcoming release there. Michael appeared on the Paul O'Grady Show and an industrious UGLY BETTY fan posted the whole thing to YouTube. You can check out the interview in the clips below:

Part One: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaSWzAGujO8
Part Two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9AUmuW41kk
Part Three: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn4KwmyrnO4&feature=related

The film will be available in the UK on July 21st online at amazon.co.uk and our distributor's website, peccadillopictures.com. There are additional interviews with Michael and myself, recorded while we were in London, that aren't available on the US version so check it out. Cheers!

So for all the Brits and UGLY BETTY fans who've been asking -- "WTC View" is finally being released this summer in the UK.  The street date for the DVD is July 21, 2008 and there will be a new disc with some additional features not available in the US.  The company releasing the film is called Peccadillo Pictures...you can go to the Peccadillo site for more info and pre-ordering as well as Amazon-UK. I will post more details about this in the coming months.  Cheerio for now! 

Hi--just a quick reminder that UGLY BETTY, starring WTC VIEW lead actor Michael Urie as the uber-fabulous "Marc", begins its much anticipated second season this Thursday, 9/27/07. The show airs on ABC starting at 8PM, right before GREY'S ANATOMY and, if you miss the broadcast, is viewable at ABC.com the next day. Michael's role on the show will be growing with some new and bizzare plot twists and turns, as is the show's speciality. So check it out!

Yeah--I know i'm a little late in posting this but WTC VIEW was named one of the Top 10 LGBT films of 2006 by Pride On Screen, a great movie review site run by Steve Pride. We're in good company too, with some of my personal faves like SHORTBUS and HISTORY BOYS. Anyway, I just saw him in LA a couple weeks ago as he interviewed me and Phillip Himberg about the book GIRLS WHO LIKE BOYS for the syndicated radio show/podcast THIS WAY OUT. Also, here's a link to the original WTC interview which aired on the syndicated radio show THIS WAY OUT last year....in it I talk a lot about the origins of the film and how it's a departure from the typical 9/11 narratives that are out there. Thanks for listening :)

Hi everyone--just made some updates to www.briansloan.com, adding some great new reviews of my book TALE OF TWO SUMMERS. Also, I've created a whole new section to the site with info on my first feature, I THINK I DO (which people are always asking about from it's airings on LOGO all the time). It's actually the original ITID website from when the film was released a few years back--props to Patrick Snee who did a great job desinging the site and putting it all together. So check it out---thanks for your support!

There's a nice mention of WTC VIEW in this coming weeks issue of TV GUIDE...it's a profile of the cast members of UGLY BETTY, the new ABC show that Michael Urie is featured in. I just caught a preview on the TV GUIDE website which looks hysterical. The premiere of the show is this Thursday 9/28 @ 8PM. So if you're looking for some good new TV, check it out!
