Award season screenings and parties have begun. Nancy Ross has a sound mixing room in her Laurel Canyon home, and the studios occasionally invite industry folks to attend a screening followed by a light supper. This week the film was David Chase's film debut "Not Fade Away" (December 21), which is working its way around the country on a promo tour after its New York Film Festival debut (review and press conference here, review round-up here). Next stop: Chase's alma mater Stanford, where he studied film. Thanks to his ex-manager Brad Grey, who runs Paramount now, Chase got to make this delicious and personal slice of authentic 60s life with just one recognizable star, Tony Soprano himself, James Gandolfini. He's excellent and moving as the hard-nosed old-school Italian father of a counter-cultural high school/college kid (John Magaro, pictured) who starts a band, first as drummer and then as lead singer/songwriter.
