I Thought I Told You To Shut Up!! from Charlie Tyrell on Vimeo.

Jonathan Demme (who passed on in April 2017) is revered for his directing work in “Silence of the Lambs,” “Philadelphia,” and the kinetic beauty of Talking Heads in “Stop Making Sense.”  We’re sharing another side of Demme in this short film he narrated in 2015: “I Thought I Told You To Shut Up!!” It’s a tour into David Boswell’s 1970s cartoon “Reid Fleming: World’s Toughest Milkman.” Directed by Charlie Tytrell. It’s wild, countercultural and cast a wide net of influence and Demme is just the man for this reprise.  Enjoy!
