I don't know if you'll feel comfortable answering this, but I went to a screening of The War Zone at TIFF...a man heckled at the screen and I believe you went out and talked to him in the lobby. I was always curious about that conversation, and how you as a director handled the situation. Would you be willing to shed some light on it?

Thank you, I'm thrilled that you answered. That incident always stuck with me (obviously) and I'm glad that I saw it in a festival setting where you were present and participating. I even remember you asking the audience that question. I could tell how personal the film and the situation were for you, and I applaud you for A) putting out such provocative work and B) handling the reaction with sensitivity and grace. You rock and I'm still a fan all these years later.
