L-R:  John Waters and the three honorees: Kirby Dick, documentarian, brought The Invisible War to the PIFF, it is about the rape of U.S. Military women by their “brothers in arms” and the terrible difficulties they encountered seeking justice; Parker Posey, “Queen of the Indies” and some mainstream work on TV and movies; Roger Corman, master filmmaker of tight budgeted and successful shlock movies but also mentor to beginning filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese and such actors as Jack Nicholson.

The “Leave Britney Alone” guy/girl/guy, Chris Crocker, who has had his Internet videos seen nearly 300 million times, was at the Provincetown International Film Festival where I took this photo of him June 16, 2012 at a mansion on a hilltop overlooking the tip of Cape Cod where the PIFF held its big press conference. His entry in the Festival is “Me@The Zoo” produced by Michael Stipe.  It is airing on HBO on June 25th.  It is a film about Chris and about the whole concept of Warhol’s “Fifteen Minutes of Fame” in the new age of the internet.
