Ebert gives Chicago indies a good review.
September 17, 2009
Joe Winston is a friend of Eliz and Tom’s. He started out in Chicago public access with the smart, funny “This Week in Joe’s Basement”–now on Mediaburn. org. He and wife Laura Cohen just finished producing “What’s the Matter with Kansas” based on the Thomas Frank book by the same name. Ebert just gave them a great review. The film is playing at the Siskel Center through Thursday, Sept. 24th at 6:15 and 8:15. Joe just told me that Tom paid him the first money he ever made in television in Chicago–$100. Maybe we’ll bring Joe to class!
