An Interview with the Writer
This interview of writer Eitan Loewenstein was conducted by legendary Icelandic playwright, Jón Atli Jónasson over the phone.
Jón Atli Jónasson: Mr. Eitan Loewenstein, it is nice to make your acquaintance.
Eitan Loewenstein: Indeed it is.
JAJ: First, the most obvious question I must ask. What motivated you to write The Most Expensive Short Film ever?
EL: I was motivated by the same things that motivated Shakespeare, Chaucer and Steinbeck: Truth.
JAJ: And what truth is that?
EL: There's only one kind, that's why they call it "truth."
JAJ: So, why will this film be so expensive?
EL: Well, there's nearly $300 million of truth in it. Truth is expensive. The more expensive a film, the truer it is.
JAJ: So, by your reasoning Titanic was a more truthful movie than damn near any documentary?
EL: You got it.
JAJ: That is the dumbest statement I have ever heard.
EL: I don't have to justify my art to you, you write plays no one's ever heard of.
JAJ: I'm very well regarded in my native...
EL: (annoying voice) I'm very well regarded in my native...
JAJ: Stop that!
EL: (annoying voice) Stop that!
JAJ: Why did I agree to do this interview?
EL: Because you envy me! You want to stop writing monologues about geothermal energy and make some real money like me.
JAJ: Your are a typical American movie idiot.
EL: Well, you're the first Icelandic person I've ever heard of. So there!
JAJ: I'm done with this.
EL: Go suck an iceberg.
Jón Atli Jónasson slams down the phone.
