Paul Dinello on the set of Strangers With Candy.

PAUL DINELLO
(writer-director, Strangers With Candy):

I don’t know exactly what I’ve learned as a first-time filmmaker because I’m not officially one yet. I’m only about three-quarters of the way through the process, but if there is one thing that occurs to me looking at myself sitting in front of an editing bay at 11:40 p.m. it’s this: who is that guy and what the hell happened to him? Please tell me that’s not me, that some ragged refugee just shambled off a rusted VW bug hastily lashed to oil drums in an attempt to flee a small failed Caribbean republic and has taken shelter in the comforting warmth of the Avid. My God, somebody get that man a cup of coffee, or a down pillow.
