You never know what’s going to come out during one of those question-and-answer sessions at the Circle Cinema.

Last Friday night, an overflow crowd that spilled out of the screening room listened as Davis Guggenheim, the Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker of “An Inconvenient Truth,” spoke about his newest project, “It Might Get Loud,” a love letter to the electric guitar with Jimmy Page, the Edge and Jack White as its stars and that is now playing at the Circle.

Guggenheim was asked to take part in a Skype videoconferencing Q&A with the audience between opening screenings of the documentary. He obliged and spoke for nearly 40 minutes. At one point, he brought up his college days at Brown University, class of 1986, and his roommate and fellow graduate.

Unknown to the Circle staff, Guggenheim’s roomie was none other than Tim Blake Nelson, Tulsa actor/writer/director and one of the Circle Cinema’s board members.

Very cool. Small world.
