| A star is born--or at least that’s how we describe the strange and obsessional behavior lately of Alison Gibson (see this page for twisted details). She calls herself “a perpetual Cal student” (Alison was here in the ’70s, and she’s back again, in the ’00s), but only last summer did she join the CAA and see this page. Now she can’t get us out of her mind. “I can’t look at a title--of anything--and not start playing with it,” she laments. “I’m even starting to do it in Dutch,” which fortunately is a language she knows. Ms. Gibson is a video producer who just returned from China, where she was filming for a PBS special that airs next year. Before then, send us your verbal productions, preferably in English, of a title (of a book, play, movie, saying, whatever), changing one letter only and adding a snappy underline (“the hardest part,” says Alison), to Twisted Titles, California Monthly, Berkeley 94720. The title Title was scored by David Kelso ’69. |
