The story I linked to was a hit job on the American Film Renaissance. Jim Hubbard, one of the organizers of it, called me to complain about a number of other things in the story–notably its description of the other chief organizer, his wife Ellen. Bryan Curtis writes, “[Ellen] Hubbard, who is middle-aged, has golden hair that was coiffed in the preferred style of a Dallas socialite—raised high, then dramatically swept back over the head.” Jim says she’s 31; here’s a picture of her. “It’s just insane how they try to marginalize you,” says Jim. I can’t quote what he said about the Salon reporter who covered the film festival.
