Jean-Paul Tremblay

Sincerity, particularly in the context of viewing David Gordon Green films, has never been a Tremblay strong suit, but let's have a go at it:

Studied media, race, politics, and culture under a wonderfully inspirational man, K. Anthony Appiah, until graduating from college with an undergraduate degree in, ah, fuck it. Had a music video air as part of the 1998 Resfest Digital Film Festival, even though it was shot entirely on 16mm film and was in no way digital (shhh). Interned for almost a year under this guy named Clinton, though don't go thinking that this implies an endorsement of welfare reform or that whole thing with Rwanda. Sold and developed a half-hour comedy series for MTV in 1999, but nothing ever came of that, which is kind of predictable, really. Independent of that fiasco, interviewed a whole mess of musicians, ranging from DJ Shadow and the Chemical Brothers to Moby, who, at the time of his interview in 1999, wasn't very knowledgeable about current news events, to the best of this writer's recollection. Makes one wonder about the merits of having him endorse MoveOn.org.

Notably, Monsieur Tremblay really likes "leftism", be it a political mindset, or the title of a fairly good mid-'90s album by the since-disbanded British dance act Leftfield.

Writing in the third person like this is fucking ridiculous.
