Opening today at The Belcourt is
Cold Weather, writer-director Aaron Katz's hard-to-classify indie film (described by some as a "mumblecore mystery"), which was one of the discoveries of last year's SXSW film fest. This week's Scene has
a full reviewincluding an interview with Katz. In the meantime, the film's composer, Nashville musician Keegan DeWitt (who also performs Tuesday night at Mercy Lounge), will perform briefly after the 8 p.m. show tonight at The Belcourt. DeWitt sat down the other day for a talk, starting with the most important issue of the moment.
From following you on Twitter, I know you’ve been following the Charlie Sheen saga, so this interview is actually going to be all about that.
Keegan DeWitt: [Laughing] OK, that’s fine. That’s fine with me ‘cause I’m fascinated by it.
Well, I’m ashamed to admit that I am as well.
[A friend and I] were joking around about it last night. Charlie Sheen right now is like a character that we would’ve created drunk on a patio somewhere, just riffing. You know, being hyperbolic, except for this is real … and it’s terrifying.
