BIG BOOK FESTIVAL

No, I'm not going to write about books here, unless film-relevant. I attended a meeting with "Brokeback Mountain" book author, Annie Proulx. She had spent several years in the forested area of Wyoming and located the action there. In the movie she wanted every detail retained. Yet, Wyoming lacked the infrastructure needed for such an enormous venture. So pictures were taken of Wyoming locations and... almost copies were found in Canada where the film was eventually shot. The locations were spot on. Wyoming residents thought it was Wyoming.
