? Out in the Silence is a new documentary film by director Joe Wilson chronicling a three year chain of events following his somewhat controversial marriage announcement in his hometown paper...I swear watching C. J. in this clip is almost like looking into a mirror (in a metaphorical sense of course... and maybe minus the rural town angsts ). C. J. was one of a number of Oil City residents who contacted Joe following his announcement... and to be honest, I really found his tale quite shocking (especially for the sheer lack of tolerance or understanding on the part of town residents). Anyhow, this movie is currently in the screening phase with shows in Maryland and Pittsburgh coming up in a couple weeks. I'm really hoping for a DVD release soon though, I really find these types of small-town America documentaries strangely fascinating ...
