Interview. Gregg Araki.

With Smiley Face screening at the IFC Center through Tuesday and out on DVD on January 8, David D'Arcy talks with Gregg Araki about stoner movies in general and about why this one simply had to be carried by Anna Faris.

Araki also looks back to Cannes ("When I'm on my deathbed, I'll be thinking about that screening") and ahead to his next film: "I'm working on a forward-looking project that's an internet series, but also functions ass a feature movie, along the lines of Mulholland Drive or Twin Peaks - sort of a multi-platform thing which can exist as a little series that you can watch on your iPod or your cell phone or whatever, but then it also can exist as a movie that you can watch in a big theater."
