Rex Sikes' chats with director/blogger Jeffrey Goodman PT 3

Jeffrey Goodman director PT 3 - "After directing six short films and living in Los Angeles for seven years, Jeffrey Goodman returned to his hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana for his first feature-length project. THE LAST LULLABY, co-written by the creator of THE ROAD TO PERDITION and starring Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan, Heat) and Sasha Alexander (NCIS) was filmed entirely in and around Shreveport and financed by 48 local investors. LULLABY has played in nineteen film festivals around the world. It won numerous awards and went on for a limited theatrical run of ten weeks. Cinemavault is currently repping the film for foreign sales and a domestic sales rep is currently pitching the film to US distributors. Goodman maintains a close relationship with MovieMaker Magazine. He kept a blog entitled "Adventures in Self-Releasing" for most of 2009 as he chronicled his experiences self-distributing THE LAST LULLABY. And now he has a new blog for MovieMaker where he discusses the films that have inspired him. As a filmmaker, Jeffrey is first and foremost a cinephile. He never went to film school but rather took the Tarantino approach, watching as many movies as he could and deciding along the way the type of films he wanted to make. “With Lullaby,” Goodman said, “I wanted to do certain things that weren’t necessarily in fashion. I wanted to make a slow, quiet genre piece that was sincere (rather than ironic) and very human. And, in many ways, I wanted to make it in the naturalistic style that I associated with some of my favorite American films from the seventies.” As the reputation of LULLABY continues to grow in stature, Goodman is now at work on PERIL, his second feature-length film.
