[...] in a screamingly funny essay over on Keepapitchinin, and follows up with an equally entertaining essay on Orestes Utah Beane, the writer of the play and film. Seriously, go read her posts, they will give you a much better [...]

Totally fun story. Your telling was so colorful, I could picture everything about him as if I knew him.

…Bean…..Bean…. I know that name from somewhere! I wonder what his less outlandish relatives thought of him.

Great story. It is fun to see more on characters we have come to know.

What a great story!

We call our middle son Bean. Everyone does, as a matter of fact- I’m not sure some people know his real name. He has a knack for awesome outfits- from glitter mary-janes with velvet pants to today’s ensemble- cowboy boots with shorts and a pirate shirt and a cape. Perhaps there’s something to a name…

If I recall, BYU Studies had an issue about Mormon Cinema within the last year, and it included some information about Bean and his Corianton movie, including some stills. Like some current Mormon filmmakers, he remained unrepentant to the end (tongue firmly in cheek).
