OT: Sam's movie "When Starlight ends"
Sad news for those (like me), who would have loved to see Sam in this movie. He was very passionate about the project, but it looks like things are not going as planned.

The movie will be shown at "The other Venice Film Festival" this weekend and all showings were sold out immediately. Sam also won the award for"best actor" of the film festival, but since he can't attend, the award will go to someone else.
Sam now announced on facebook (the link above), that neither he (nor the writer/director) have been allowed to see the version of the film that is screened at the festival and Sam had no idea it was even finished. It was put together by the financers of the film and Sam sounds very disappointed.
another weird thing about this film festival. They were thrilled that all screening of the movie were sold out so fast and for weeks they implied Sam would attend the screening. Now that they announced, that Sam won't get his award, because he can't fly to LA in the middle of filming S3, they blocked every single twitter account, who dared to say, that it is a weird rule to deny Sam his award just because he can't fly around the world to personally receive it.
