Bloggers: 1; Local Media: 0. Now that filming has wrapped, that’s my scorecard for the coverage of the Prairie Home Companion movie. Can you think of a single story by any of the local media outlets that actually gave you any valuable information? Enter podcaster-about-town Garrick Van Buren who has an excellent interview (audio) with Jon Steinhorst, a young filmmaker who worked on the PHC set. Steinhorst, whose tasks included manning a button on a bell and controlling air conditioner knobs, tells his unique first-person story of an aspiring director who gives up his summer house painting job to see a couple of his director heros (Robert Altman and Paul Thomas Anderson) work their craft.
