time to time. He's an independent film maker based in Portland, Oregon
who's worked on movies that you have probably seen. For example Kelley
has the credit for Sound Design and Supervising Sound Editor for "Good Will
Hunting", "Psycho" (the remake), and "To Die For" among others. For
the complete
filmography you can look on Kelley's web page, located
here. The movie Birddog was screened to an audience at the Circle Cinema on Thursday the 26th of October this year. Kelley was there and answered questions until everybody had run out of things to ask. Your local secretary (Brian Jackson) was there, and he will try to pass on some of the interesting points about this movie that came up during the discussion. |
