Well, what started out as an extremely boring evening turned into a rather star-struck one! My parents dragged me to Feature 2008, a fundraiser in support of Film Streams featuring Omaha born and raised Oscar-winning director Alexander Payne and acclaimed actress Laura Dern. I originally thought spending an evening with my parents was going to be dreadful, but I turned out to be mistaken. About five minutes before the presentation, one of my mom's best friends who works for the Holland Center (where the benefit took place) yanked me backstage and introduced me (above, right) to Alexander Payne (above, left) and shoved me next to him for a rather blurry picture (above). Payne's various projects include Citizen Ruth, Election, About Schmidt, and Sideways. Knowing that a genius of film grew up here in Omaha really makes me feel as though I can achieve anything, no matter where I'm from.
