J Roland Kelly

This experience led to him reworking a group of short films he made in adolescence to produce Dinosaur! Which screened at film festivals in the spring of 2005. In 2009 after the release of J Roland Kelly Marshals Against Karl Rove he began work on Sleeping with Charlie Kaufman and in an interview with BeingCharlieKaufman.com, J Roland Kelly states that he created the film in homage to Charlie Kaufman because he was inspired by early drafts of Kaufman's screenplays that he himself had read when he first started screenwriting. In an interview with Xtranormal, J Roland Kelly describes Sleeping with Charlie Kaufman as "..basically this absurd, funny conversation between a guy and his girlfriend. He tells her he fantasizes about her twin sister, but she doesn't have a twin sister, so it's just another way of fantasizing about her… and is she offended. [It draws on] some La Nouvelle Vague & Mumblecore elements from the kind of films I was watching at the time." Sleeping with Charlie Kaufman held its premiere on June 3, 2010 at the Little Rock Film Festival.
