For anyone interested, here’s a page with a link to a podcast of his excellent Big Ideas interview in which he talks about the book and also about the Steven Haataja case:

Dave Jannetta’s film documentary based on Poe’s book Love and Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere, and by the same title, has been showing at various film festivals the past several months. In the spring it was a big hit at Hot Docs in Toronto, Canada, and this past weekend it was a sellout at Michael Moore’s Traverse City Film Festival.

Dave Jannetta with Michael Moore:



The doc will be shown here in Chadron sometime in the fall. Looking forward to it!

EDITED to add that films shown at Michael Moore's festival are there through invitation only.

Dave wrote on his L&T Facebook page:

"Incredibly excited to announce that Love and Terror was selected for the 2014 Traverse City Film Festival! This festival, started by Michael Moore 10 years ago is committed to showing 'Just Great Movies' and it's an honor to be selected!"
