Do you have any knowledge on what kind of release is in the plans for your documentary? Is it a fan club type thing? And congratulations man, getting to spend some time with Prince is definitely worthy of envy. Nice perk for all the hard work.

: This time I'm shooting a documentary at the behest of His Royal Badness himself, Prince.
: Prince is hosting a week-long event called 'The Celebration', at which he's unveiling his latest album, 'The Rainbow Children', for a group of fans from his NPG Music Club website. He called me a few weeks back and asked if I'd come up and shoot the event. I keep telling the man that I'm not a documentarian, and that I'm REALLY not a shooter, but he liked 'Dogma' an awful lot, and felt that I'd be a good choice to make the doc, as 'The Rainbow Children' is a very spiritual project, not unlike 'Dogma'.
: Prince is a really, really cool guy, incredibly smart and talented, and interesting as all get-out. I've been a fan for years, so this has been quite a thrill for me. If you would've told me a few years ago that I'd be sitting around, conversing casually with the man responsible for the Minneapolis sound, I'd've told you I had a better chance of slimming down to a lean 150 pounds. Well, I'm not 150 pounds, but I have gotten to jaw with a guy I've long considered one of the only true artists of my lifetime.
: And it's been a lot of fun.
: So... that's what I'm upto this week.
: My life is very weird sometimes.
