Robyn shared some thoughts on Facebook about the late, great film director Jonathan Demme:

“We filmed Storefront Hitchcock on West 14th Street, New York, New York in December 1996. The previous spring, Jonathan had appeared through a trapdoor in my dressing room in Nayak; 18 months later he was making an in-concert movie of my show. Mega-Yaysville! It was a real honour and one heck of an accolade. New York is adrenaline city—filming Storefront Me there was quite the shot in the arm. For a location, Jonathan found an empty wholesale clothing store and rented it for the week. He used four old-school film cameras and parked outside was a 24-track mobile studio, courtesy of my then-label, Warner’s (thank you, Geoffrey Weiss!). This was at the very end of the celluloid/analogue age: if we’d filmed it five years later everything would have been digital, taken up half the space, and likely cost half as much. I’m glad that we were just in time to do it all the 20th century way.

“A few years after that, Jonathan himself was gone, sadly [02.22.44–04.26.17]. He liked people. He didn’t take anybody too seriously but had a lot of enthusiasm for what they were doing and a clear eye for their peculiarities: ideal for a movie director. He was no dictator—he lured performers into doing what he thought would work, and was always open to negotiation. He was very supportive and even gave me roles in two of his later movies: The Manchurian Candidate and Rachel Getting Married. When I asked why he wanted to use me rather than a professional actor he said: ‘Well, it’s all performance, isn’t it? The camera loves you, buddy!’

“I haven’t seen Storefront for ages; I don’t know if it’s still available other than as clips on YouTube, even. Watching the finished piece was weird, though. I’m almost the only living thing in it, and on the giant screen my head is the size of a double-decker bus—a metaphor, perhaps? It’s beautifully filmed, with unhurried camera work: the anti-MTV-90s-rock video approach. In it I can come across as both naïve and cynical but, hey I’m a Pisces. So was Jonathan. Thank you buddy—wish you were here...”
