DB:
I just told you Mad City was a haven for the pure in heart.
Last October, in an outburst of cinephiliac passion, Peter Putzel, aka Wilhelm Scream, boldly proposed to FilmStruck. The courtship had been ardent but aboveboard. (No patty-fingers, if you please. The proprieties at all times.) Still, Peter could confess his love only hypothetically.
But FilmStruck, carried away by his sincerity, committed to a lifetime cohabiting relationship.
The wedding was presided over by our Criterion Channel cohort, the Reverend Jeff Smith. You can witness the entire touching ceremony here.
Thanks to David Byrne (no kidding) and his FilmStruck team for their visit to Madison.
