The only way to travel....


The director and stars of "Once," a film that can best be described as an Irish musical, stopped in St. Louis on May 9 to talk about their film and introduce it at a special screening that evening. John Carney, the director, doesn't care for airplane travel, so the group is traveling from city-to-city by bus.
After the screening, Glen Hansard, lead singer of the Frames, and Marketa Irglova, his leading lady and real-life collaborator, answered questions and sang for the audience. Normally, at Q&A sessions, people start to leave right away and, by the end, the auditorium is pretty empty, but the crowd at the "Once" screening couldn't get enough.


I had a chance to sit down with John, Marketa and Glen and chat about the movie and how their real-life realtionships influenced the movie. The interview is available by following this link:

Many thanks,
