Director Ed Burns with mic in hand at the Apple Store in SoHo for a directors series co-hosted with indieWIRE during the Tribeca Film Festival. Burns' latest, "Purple Violets" is screening in the festival's Spotlight section as a world premiere. Burns spoke about his beginnings with "The Brothers McMullen" and how his career evolved from its professional beginnings in 1995. He also made sure to speak with everyone who wanted to chat one-on-one following the formal Q&A--what a nice guy!
