What's the Hang-up with HANGER? Director Ryan Nicholson Speaks

Last week, I wrote about the unfortunate cancellation of director Ryan Nicholson's latest blood-drenched opus, HANGER, at the 2009 Philadelphia Film Festival (see picture at left). This concerned me because last fall, Nicholson's GUTTERBALLS was slated to appear at a film festival in my hometown of San Antonio, Texas, but failed to appear. Furthermore, Nicholson's Plotdigger Films website was also down last week.

So, being the inquisitive sort, I tracked down Ryan via MySpace and asked him what the hell was going on.

I am happy to report that all is fine in Nicholson's world. He immediately wrote me back and stated that "We had some technical problems with the sound synch and rendering issues. Better to fix everything perfectly than to show something half-assed." As for the website, Nicholson added that it was "down while we prep the store..." and that "when it opens up, it will kick serious ass!"

I love this guy's enthusiasm.
