One could consider Tommy Chong to be the intellectual polar opposite of Noam Chomsky. If that's true, and if Yours Truly appears in a photo with Tommy Chong (below), and with Noam Chomsky(below), might Yours Truly be considered the cosmic fabric that somehow links these two extremes?
Probably not. But it is an unusual thought. Check out these and other photos from Rave Films KC below.
An award presented to Bill by the Mayor of Kansas City for his "dedication and commitment to the quality of life in Kansas City, Missouri."
Bill and Canadian Filmmaker Guy Maddin, on the day after Guy was named Best Canadian Filmmaker by the Toronto International Film Festival.
He was in Kansas City for the Kansas International Film Festival and to help us shoot a strange and weird yet wonderful satirical short film. Note the Super 8mm camera. Guy shoots his films in 8mm black and white and blows them to 35; and we did too, since we were doing a Guy Maddin film with Guy Maddin.

Shooting an interview with Noam Chomsky was one of the highlights of my life. Chomsky tells it like it is and has done so for half a century. The right wing neocon fundamentalist pseudochristian corporate greedmongers don't like him a bit.

Shooting an interview with Tommy Chong was one of the more unusual moments of my life. Chong tells it like it really isn't but with enough weed who cares. The right wing neocon fundamentalist pseudochristian corporate greedmongers don't like him a bit either.
Bill shooting an interview with Virginia Madsen, who was in town with Billy Bob Thornton plugging their new film. It is difficult to hold a camera steady when in the presence of a babe like her.
Bill and George Romero. With the rise of Christian Nationalism in America and Muslim fundamentalism abroad, George Romero's zombie films take on new significance.
