“Egleson, who now teaches film at Boston University, spoke with Boston Hassle by phone to discuss the upcoming screenings and his career, including his efforts to put together an independent production in an era where local filmmaking was nonexistent, the “lovely, wonderful burst” of creative output that followed Billy in the Lowlands, how the Teamsters working on Eddie Coyle inspired him to make stories about local people, and why distribution issues have been the prime reason for his work’s obscurity.” – Brad Avery, Boston Hassle
