It was nine months ago that I had the pleasure of following author/filmmaker Gorman Bechard and his crew for four days as he interviewed fans and colleagues of The Replacements. Since that wonderful week, I've patiently waited for news on its completion.
Well, the movie is finally finished, and a few days ago Bechard announced the following screenings of Color Me Obsessed:
Saturday, March 26 @ 7:30pm
(World Premiere)
Gasparilla Gasparilla International Film Festival
Tampa, Florida
Saturday, April 2 @ 6:45pm
Wisconsin Film Festival
Madison, Wisconsin
Friday, April 15 @ 6:30pm
Chicago International Movies and Music Festival

Wednesday, May 4 @ 6:00pm
Sound Unseen special screening
Minneapolis, MN
June 13-19 (exact time and date TBA)
NXNE

It's probably obvious that I will be at the Minneapolis screening!
With the premiere just days away, I felt it was time for Gorman to return to The Ledge studio to talk about the movie, the upcoming screenings, and to also share some of his current fave releases. The second half of the show includes music from some of the artists interviewed for the movie.
