Fenton Bailey talks with Yahoo! Movies about James St. James and Michael Alig‘s reunion, sending a camera crew to capture Michael as he reintegrates into society, and his advice for Michael.
Fenton talks sending James to NY to see Michael:
“It’s a story that has interested us, and we think it continues to interest other people too,” says Bailey. “Alig’s story has reached a kind of fever pitch recently with his release. There’s something very archetypal about it. So we thought maybe we should send James and see what that would be like.”
On the footage of Michael getting out of prision:
“We’ve decided to capture [this experience],” he adds. “We don’t have any solid plans for the material yet. Whether we recut the original documentary, or do it as an online original series, I’m not sure. But I think it is indeed interesting to see someone regroup after 17 years. It’s really like a time-capsule experience, isn’t it?”
Fenton’s advice for Michael:
“He should not go to clubs, drink, or do drugs, He is a Class A addict, and he needs to stay sober.”
