Interior
A retired FBI agent fi nds himself thrust into the middle of a vicious battle over control of a well-known river and its surrounding lands in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Fictional elements are interjected into actual historical fact to produce a taut thriller that is as current as today's headlines. Sleepy Ontonagon County towns cope with the consequences of the most recent of the many economic disasters to beset them over their lifetimes. Will they dry up and die, or will new development save them? Nature finally takes charge again, which makes that question moot.

After wartime service as a horse breaker for the army and a gunner on a Liberator bomber, Peter headed to Africa and a richly varied career as an agricultural officer, national parks ranger, big game hunter, animal wrangler and rancher. He worked on the sets of several big-name movies, including Hat...
The Mystical Filmmaker
This lively cinema dialogue - in the form of a cross-Atlantic email correspondence - investigates the idea of The Mystical Filmmaker. It is a complement to the films and fiction of Peter Whitehead, and exposes Whitehead's marvelous gift for finding myriad connections between a host of subjects that are "in play" in a living conversation. Many filmmakers are interesting in an interview setting, where they can tell stories and be the raconteur - but there are very few who are so engaging in the context of an epistolary-dialogue. There is a vivid dramatic unity to this correspondence, which is not "just a bunch of letters" written over a rambling period of time - but is, rather, a complete and ...
