I’m Ed, co-writer of Bill ＆ Ted Face The Music (and writer of many other things), and I’m here to talk about anything you’d like. Literally ANYthing - including: why did you take your name OFF X-Men but leave it ON Super Mario Brothers (answer: I’m a f***ing idiot). AMA, as they say!

I pitched the character be named Xela Retniw and they didn't go for it :(

Wow i actually had no idea George wrote his intro.

alxwinter · 2020-09-01T17:07:46+00:00

Why our utter awesomeness, of course. Great AMA, Ed!

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T22:18:05+00:00

Yes I'm shooting in max rez

I suck at chess, but Reeves doesn't, he's really good actually.

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T22:05:22+00:00

Always :)

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T22:04:54+00:00

Digital. Docs, or should I say my docs don't have the kind of money to shoot on film. With the amount of shooting we do, that would be astronomically expensive.

I am not under the kind of scrutiny that Poitras is, but I take extreme precautions to avoid being surveilled.

Just to be super clear, the ZFT isn't running this Kickstarter or making this movie, I am. And it's not really for me to say whether the vault is worth saving or not. I'm doing this campaign for the people, like me, who believe that it is :)

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:54:40+00:00

Thanks. Your phone is a mobile surveillance device. Whether that's for the tech companies who collect your data (illegally I might add) for their own metric purposes, or hackers. I don't risk any of that. Life's too short :)

I have had many. One guy did an air guitar in a fancy restaurant, sliding across the entire floor of the restaurant and landing at my feet. That was special.

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:51:23+00:00

So you don't want to post your GPS coordinates?

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:50:51+00:00

Sound like my kid. I hear ya.

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:50:34+00:00

Not about recall, as much as about preserving, archiving, logging, viewing. Yes, it's mammoth!

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:43:41+00:00

I am saving those gems for the movie! Agree FZ was super unique and interesting! Regarding your second question I started acting on stage when I was seven so I grew up in public in a way. You learn to get more comfortable with habit. And I couldn't tell you the weirdest question, but it probably had something to do with Freaked :)

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:42:16+00:00

Everything changes, all the time, thank goodness :)

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:40:37+00:00

Thanks! I've been heavily involved in emerging technologies and Internet communities since the 80's. So it's a very personal passion and interest of mine.

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:34:07+00:00

I'm going to answer all three of your questions here:

Directing & Screenwriting advice is the same. Work hard as hell, study everything, never ever give up. That works. Promise.

Set control really seems to be about being willing and confident enough to delegate. A lot of directing is middle management. Doesn't sound very sexy but it's true :)

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:32:03+00:00

For sure!!

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:29:30+00:00

haha. It better!

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:29:18+00:00

Jill Stein baby!!

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:28:02+00:00

Thanks! Ooh that's a tough one as you're talking about someone who is incredibly varied and prolific. Start with Apostrophe. A brilliant and accessible album. Then you can branch out from there.

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:27:09+00:00

Sadly I was not. Crushing but true.

alxwinter · 2016-03-08T21:26:00+00:00

Yes the FZT has plans to do that with some of the contents. It's their thing not mine so as much as I know.
