Page 17 - JIMMY REARDON LETTER TO CHICAGO CRITICS

fff

Thus, herewith: for the members of the Chicago Film Critics Association, a special

preview DVD screening copy of “AREN’T YOU EVEN GONNA KISS ME

GOODBYE?” a never-seen-before movie starring some wonderful and legendary

actors. It contains original music by one of cinema’s greatest composers, the com-

plete original narration, 6 minutes of crucial unseen footage, a new Johnny Mathis

single and – inally --the original song River Phoenix wrote and sang for the ilm,

“Heart to Get.”

I ask that you please review it as a brand new ilm about to “open” two decades af-

ter completion. It is opening in a venue that was non-existing back then -- cyber-

space. [If it’s true that ghosts can inhabit electronic devices, then perhaps River

and Elmer will get to see it there.]

On or before opening night, December 15,

the full feature will be presented on my web-

site www.williamrichert.com.

With only one theatrical print, and no real

money for ads, the movie will remain in cy-

berspace – for now. However, friends of

mine are presently looking for a Chicago

theater to “four wall” the picture.

We are hoping that in 2008 the movie will open in selected theaters throughout the

country.

I left Chicago on a Greyhound bus, with only my story to tell, using my life to

jump-start my art, and now I’m doing it again.

Thanks for your kind attention.

Sincerely,

William Richert aka Jimmy Reardon
