A Second Look – The Untitled Work of Paul Shepard
We returned to the Carlton Cinema last night to enjoy a second performance of The Untitled Work of Paul Shepard. And I have to say, I enjoyed it even more this time around. After our laugh filled, extremely enjoyable interviews with the film’s director, the awesome and seriously funny Jeremy LaLonde, the producer, the ebullient and…
