Vancouver Lifestyles magazine features a cover story on the now increasingly important Vancouver film producer William Vince. The cover photo of Bill done up like Truman Capote is pretty amazing and the article is good background on how he got to Capote. I really like the idea of the dyslexicguy who didn't read or write until twenty years old staying up until midnight working on the script for a $20 million film:
"I'm the responsible parent who takes the bank loans out, makes commitments to all financial partners, agents, cast and writers, and has to manage the team. I have input into all areas using my financial, political and creative experience. If I don't stay with it at every point, I can't expect returns on the investment. For instance, last night I was up until midnight working on a script for a $20 million movie with a writer at Water St. Cafe. After it's made, it's my responsibility to our partners to deliver a quality product, my responsibility to myself to get my bank loan off the hook, get my money back, and maybe make a profit. It's a lot of risk, but then I own the film."

And thinking that the $7.5 million Capote will make up to $80 million means we'll be seeing a heck of a lot more of Bill.
