Love This film
20 November 2002
I had just finished film school and was working on a show at Warner Bros when these guys started making this film. I read the original script and couldn't imagine why anyone would want to make this film. They said they were using the basic story but rewriting it. Man- did they ever- I didn't read the new script but went to one of the screening they had. I actually had to go several times before I could get in. I was stunned at the movie- it was incredible what they had done with this film. I wasn't the only one who loved it, the crowd was really into it and a mostly studio crowd, that's saying alot. I know they won several film festivals and were featured on ET and E! These guys went to hell and back to make this film. It took them almost a year to complete and I was amazed at the fact they spent under $300,000 and shot on 35 while holding down full time jobs at the studio. I had no idea what they went through till I check out the website. They shot in 140 locations from Canada to Mexico- that is unbelievable for a first time project. Imp in the early stages of my first film and I use this film as inspiration. I still can't imagine how they did it for so little and made it look so good. Don't listen to these other comments - sounds like a bitter wanna be writer- I'll bet money neither one has every made a film-as far as I know the last screening was at least 1-2 years ago and this "poe" guy wrote his comments a few months ago- sounds like a personal vendetta- he must have written the original piece of dung - LOL. Applaud this first time effort-I would have never guessed it was the first film if I didn't know. This film is not GONE WITH THE WIND, but as an idie film- I'd give it an 8- factor in it cost under $300,000 and was shot ON LOCATION from Canada to MEXICO and it should get an Oscar. Check out the website on the main page - love the stories- I would love to see it again. You guys did the impossible and did it with style- By the way EINSTEIN- Curtis Armstrong is listed first because it in ALPHABETICAL ORDER. The "A"'s first then the "B"'s--- see the pattern- and as far as the cameo of Jonathan Silverman- KUDOS on getting him- and I thought the scene was funny as hell even though you must not have had a lot of time for coverage. This is a MUST SEE for any filmmaker- its indie filmmaking at its best- You'll be VERY impressed- I hope my first film is half as good as this one- Thanks for the inspiration- its keeps me going You guys should look at the fact that after 2 years- people are still talking about your film- A huge fan Carlton
