Shawn Otto is husband of the liberal State Auditor Rebecca Otto. He also is the screenwriter of the dreary, depressing and award winning movie "The House of Sand and Fog." True, I've not actually seen it. But I think its fair to say that any movie whose title you can't say aloud three times without falling asleep may not be the runaway thrill ride of the century.
Reviews like this, all from people claiming to have liked the movie, don't help either:
An engrossing drama about the downward mobility of a recovering alcoholic and the yearning for upward mobility of an Iranian immigrant.
A rewarding tale of desperation and lost dreams.
A brilliant treatise on people who do all the wrong things for all the right reasons.
Are these reviews of the House and Sand and Fog or of the DFL Platform? Is there a difference?
Big news, Otto is preparing his next dose of box office magic:
Stillwater-area screenwriter Shawn Otto ("House of Sand and Fog") was putting together the deal for his directorial debut, "Dreams of a Dying Heart"
Along with popcorn and Junior Mints, theater managers are being encouraged to add Maximum Strength No Doz to the concession stand for the run of this one.
