You're correct that Rooks directed in it (also starred in it), but Frank was a cinematographer on the film. It also *stars* William S. Burroughs, Ornette Coleman and Allen Ginsberg. Ravi Shankar (who also appeared) did the original music, and the music supervisor was Philip Glass. An eclectic bunch to be sure, but the film is a confusing out-there mish-mash. Looks nice, and a couple moments of rip-roaring hilarity. - ------------------------------------------------ DGF PHOTOGRAPHY http://home.golden.net/~tekapo
