BOSTON, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Independent filmmaker Ed Burns is in Boston this weekend to screen his latest offering, "Nice Guy Johnny."
"Johnny," the tale of a 20-something would-be sportscaster (played by Matt Bush) who learns life lessons from his uncle (played by Burns), has a lot in common with Burns's first stab at filmmaking, "The Brothers McMullen": Both were shot over 12 days on Long Island with a budget of $25,000, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reported Friday.
