Oliver Stone to Receive Director’s Award

~ Lincoln Spector

I’m writing this on my phone so I’ll keep it brief.

I received the press release yesterday afternoon: Oliver Stone will receive the Founder’s Directing Award at this year’s San Francisco International Film Festival. He will be honored Wednesday, April 27 at the Kabuki.

A film of his will be screened. Which one has yet to be confirmed or announced.

I can’t say I’m excited about the choice. The last film of his I liked was “Born on the Fourth of July,” and that was a long time ago. I’m not sure at this point if I liked it for anything except it’s politics.

I really hated JFK.
