Further down. This is rumor control; here are the facts.

After the sudden and tragic loss of Jim Ridley, losing Prince was a subsequent devastating blow that knocked me for a loop. It all happened during the Nashville Film Festival, which under normal circumstances is my favorite week-and-a-half of the year. So it's been a messy past- almost two months.

The Festival went very well, even when carried out under the saddest of circumstances. For the roundup of the films I showed at the Graveyard Shift, check out the episode of The Whorer podcast devoted to it here if you'd like.

Since then, well, it's been messy.
