an

Just finished an independent film called NOBODY WANTS
YOUR FILM about the struggle to make and then get the
work to an audience.
We've set up a website for the film to try and link
up to an audience through the web so we can eventually
convince a distributor to finance a theatrical release
of the film.
On the site you can see quite a lot of scenes from the
movie. The film and website have many well known independent
film actors on/in it like Steve Buscemi, Sam Rockwell,
Peter Dinklage, David Proval, Peter Stormare, Daryl
Mitchell, Karyn Parsons, and Pruitt Taylor Vince.

ps: if you like what you see bring your friends to the
site as well.
UPDATE: Theatrical run begins:
Things are steadily moving ahead. We're running newspaper
ads, trailers and posters are up in all the theatres,
and the TV ads continue to run Thursdays at 10pm-11pm
during Project Greenlight in NYC and LA.
I suppose this goes without saying but I'm going to
say it anyway...
I'm a nervous f-ing wreck as we prepare for this release!
I hope all of you will find that a hour and a half out
of your schedules to support this effort. Aside from
our distributor, there are sceptics who still need to
be shown that this idea can work and that all of you
that have shown your support in cyberspace will appear
in real space and buy a ticket to this film.
But regardless, dvd's of NOBODY WANTS YOUR FILM will
be available sometime in the mid to late summer through
the NWYF website at:
http://nobodywantsyourfilm.com/dvdTshirtsMB.php
Thanks again for your continued support and remember
there's an update page on the site so you can keep up
with the film's distribution.
ps: I hope that most of you will buy your tickets in
advance to ease my hysterical neurosis but of course
you can purchase your tickets at the box office when
you show up to the theatre as well.
UPDATE: LA Times Review & dvd on sale now:
With over 300,000 visitors to the NWYF website during
the past year, and with many choosing to have their
user names included into the credits of the film, we
have so far seen a very large turnout for this dvd release.
Newsweek magazine actually did a segment announcing
the NWYF dvd release and posted our three trailers on
their website at:

LA Times Review
Frustration: It's just part of the process
By Kevin Crust, Times Staff Writer
A curio created in the editing room, "Nobody Wants
Your Film" is a genuinely original work that won't
be for everyone but will certainly resonate with aspiring
filmmakers and those interested in creating art in a
world of commerce. Consisting of footage shot on the
set of an independent film and e-mails stringing together
a semifictionalized story line involving the difficulties
of gaining distribution, the movie's strengths lie in
revealing interviews with cast and crew members as well
as surreal - at times beautiful - visuals.
The director includes conversations with indie stalwarts
such as Peter Dinklage and Sam Rockwell as well as more
seasoned actors such as David Proval. Abstract but absorbing,
the interviews vary from locker room jocularity to heartfelt
expressions about craft and capture all the banality,
frustration, passion and exuberance that go into making
a movie. "Nobody Wants Your Film" is both
the cautionary tale implied by its title and an inspiring
note from the indie underground. The glory may lie in
getting your film seen, but the struggle and the numerous
rejections cannot negate the importance of doing the
work. |
