A Primer Appreciation

The Onion’s AV Club elevates Shane Carruth’s Primer into the pantheon of cult films. You may recall the Richardson writer-director-star won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2004. And then, poof, he disappeared. I wrote a story about him and the movie, and  I remember Shane telling me he had big plans for a big epic picture with oceanography and pirates (I’m not kidding about the oceanography, and I’m almost positive about the pirates). But I haven’t heard from or about him in years.
