HENRY Redding HUNTER by Michael Koshkin
When I met him, he was wearing an eye-patch. He didn't explain it. He'd driven from New Orleans to Brooklyn on adderall and truck stop speed, and back to Austin on a whim that a whiskey-stained couch was available for a few nights. He never left.
Instead he found a little loft with a spiral staircase, began recording music obsessively, and to this day, has not gotten one piece of furniture. He is an insomniac, the founder of Whiskey & Apples Records and soon of The Owl, an opium din-like warehouse venue that will host music, film, and art parties.
He rarely answers his phone, drives his car, or leaves his house. He doesn't wear the eye-patch anymore, but his right eye still quivers when you mention Los Angeles.
His shows are energetic, twisted, intoxicating. He makes a cold room feel warm. And when he leaves, the room feels cold again.

Darren Aronofsky's - The Fountain

This one is a little more sci-fi/fantasy than Pi or Requem for a Dream, but it is getting great Kubric-esque reviews from the test screenings... Set to release in theaters on Friday the 13th, October...
