Suffering Man's Interviews

Alan Cumming and David Boreanaz remained in Austin on Saturday after screening their new film “Suffering Man’s Charity” at the Paramount the day before, ready and willing to discuss what first intrigued them about the film.
“It was the intensity of it,” Cumming, who directs and stars in the tale of obsession and creative coveting, said. “I was struck by how unusual it was, how unformulaic. I knew if I didn’t do it, nobody would.”
The intensity of the shoot saturated the set, they said, resulting in a “very calm and quiet environment,” according to Boreanaz.
The mood at the festival was quite different, however, as the two joked about everything from their first meeting to yoga (then again, yoga is pretty easy to make fun of. Let’s admit it). Their joviality extended into the marketing of the film, as SXSW was flooded with “Charity” stickers, each one relaying some of the movie’s more memorable quotes (which can’t be printed here. Sorry folks).
But who can blame them? After all, Cumming has high hopes for “Charity’s” future.
“I want it to be a cult classic like ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show,’” he said. “I want the audience belting out the characters’ lines.”
Sarah will have more on Boreanaz's time at the festival this weekend.
