The Green Chain – Fuck Yeah!

All I can say after finally seeing The Green Chain last night is ‘Fuck Yeah’! (Please note here Mark & Tony, if you’d prefer an ‘I love trees’, then get me a t-shirt)

Loved the film! In a day and age where filmmakers have a tendency to dumb things down for their audience, assuming we have the attention spans of a gnat (probably shouldn’t say that as I don’t really know how long the gnat’s attention span is), I was pleasantly surprised to find myself pulled into a tale told by some eloquently portrayed characters that assumes that the audience is bright and sophisticated.

A truly beautiful tale of people & communities that you’ll love, even if you don’t love trees.

Don’t miss The Green Chain. It plays at Fifth Avenue Cinemas from now until Thursday March 12th. Today’s the last day to catch the post film Q+A with Director / Writer, Mark Leiren-Young and let me tell you, you don’t want to miss that sexy devil. Sexiness is certainly not limited to the actors in this film.

I was going to put up the clip of the ‘hot’ logger this morning, but after seeing The Green Chain last night, I thought this clip was more fitting, as it really sums up the ideas for me:

You don’t want to miss this film. It’s so powerful and is an example of storytelling at it’s finest. Fifth Avenue Cinema – last day for post film Q&A with writer / director Mark Leiren-Young – 1:30, 4:45, 7:10 & 9:10 pm.

I know he says fire doesn’t sleep, but does he? Or more aptly, will he with me? Shall I ask him that, if I happen to run into him at tonight’s screening of The Green Chain at Fifth Avenue Theatre?
