One of the most amazing sequences of Annie Hall is when they go back to his fictional (but very close to reality) childhood http://youtu.be/G7L5FKh3EMM In so many of his films you come to understand what influenced him, what repulsed him, and what drove him to be a very independent auteur film maker.

We almost did with Bill Murray Xmas special. We would be interested but I think it needs to feel like a huge event." Maybe Woody would be that kind of an event. I still think a sale to HBO for this kind of a live performance is the first stop to try and get an advance of 1M and 1M production costs? Then sell to Netflix second for streaming rights international? • not sure even if it's Woody that these numbers are achievable because his films are so brilliant yet limited. Another way to go is to do the live show as a exclusive short off bway run, or on bway run, and then as a film for Sony Pictures Classics who distribute his most recent films.
