Here’s a photo of me conversing with Alexander Payne at the Nebraska Coast Connection salon on Monday, Sept. 9 at the Culver Hotel in Culver City, Calif. I was there with my book about the writer-director, “Alexander Payne: His Journey in Film.” Payne was the featured speaker that night and many of his comments had to do with his new film “Nebraska,” which has now garnered strong audience and critical praise at Cannes and Telluride. The New York Film Festival is next.

I will soon be posting that story on my blog.

I will be the NCC’s featured speaker at the March 2014 salon. NCC is a long-standing networking association of folks from Nebraska or with strong Nebraska ties who work in the film and television industry. Its founder and guru Todd Nelson was nice enough to invite me out. It was a good time.

Alexander Payne: His Journey in Film
https://www.facebook.com/AlexanderPayneExpert/

The work-in-progress page is devoted to my acclaimed book about the Oscar-winning filmmaker and his work.

“This is without question the single best study of Alexander Payne’s films, as well as the filmmaker himself and his filmmaking process. In charting the first two decades of Payne’s remarkable career, Leo Adam Biga pieces together an indelible portrait of an independent American artist, and one that’s conveyed largely in the filmmaker’s own words. This is an invaluable contribution to film history and criticism – and a sheer pleasure to read as well.” –Thomas Schatz, Film scholar and author (The Genius of the System)

The book sells for $25.95.

Available through Barnes & Noble, on Amazon, for Kindle and at other bookstores and gift shops nationwide.
