John Oak Dalton

"Not 'Hollywood Independent' - writer John Oak Dalton is the real Real Thing." --Cinema Minima."Very weird and unpopular b-movies and comics."--Blogalicious. "After watching the film I am left to wonder if he had some childhood trauma he is not telling us about."--IMDB user review. "Screenwriter John Oak Dalton wanted to be in Hollywood. Instead, he's in the rustic kitchen above the Germania General Store, stirring a pot of boiling hot dogs." --The Harrisburg Patriot-News.

Between Dada and D'Amato

I must be real, I'm in a book called "Fervid Filmmaking!" I am mentioned in the article about Sex Machine, a movie I co-wrote with Christopher Sharpe, reviewed in this tome featuring "cult pictures of vision, verve, and no self-restraint" (and I can attest that I have at least one of those). This book does state that I am a novelist, so I wonder if they got me confused with the actual author John Dalton?

This is conspicuously sitting on my coffee table, in case you come by. Until later I am at johnoakdalton@hotmail.com.

Unknown said...: I thought sure you were the novelist as well as the author of this fine film. Please write a novel so I don't look foolish.

(And if you like the book, a few more words in public, like where people can buy it, would make you my new best friend, even if you are writing for Henrique Couto.) ;); 10:40 PM
John Oak Dalton said...: I keep trying! I find it easier to write screenplays but would like to make the jump.

Strangely, the first time I heard of the other John Dalton was unfortunately when I had to take my wife to the emergency room one night. I opened a copy of Story Magazine that I was able to grab while I was waiting and strangely, saw my own name.

I enjoyed and book and I've followed your stuff for a long time, thanks for the shout-out!; 11:32 PM
