CENSORED

Last evening I walked down to Allentown Symphony Hall to see my movie poster in their window. I found that they disgraced my poster by putting a note on it that reads: “For Mature Audiences Only, no one under the age of 18 will be admitted”. Who in the hell do they think they are? [...]

New Poster

After months of deliberation we finally came up with a poster that I love and I hope you do too. The poster design for InSearchOf has proved incredibly challenging.

Where are we

It’s been an interesting couple of days. I have no idea which way is up, which way to turn, what makes sense, what I want to do. Everyone has their opinion. One person can dash hopes, dreams, but should it deter you from your mission? FUCK NO! I must say that is is a bitter [...]

Our film InSearchOf has the potential of screening in San Francisco but it going to take the audience vote. People in the audience will vote for which film they want to see via text messaging. This should be [...]

The last guy I think was expecting to get our answering machine, but when I answered he was a little flustered. Can someone please tell me “what a small movie means”? Everyone seems to love the [...]

Movie Poster

I’ve been debating for some time now what should we do for a movie poster for In Search Of. I’m feeling that the current midriff poster is a little too poppy and really doesn’t give you the feel for the film. I’m having a difficult time coming up with a good idea that grabs people’s [...]

VOD/DVR

I’ve been reading a lot lately about web movie downloads as an option for indie filmmakers to get their films out into the public. The problem is there isn’t much compatibility between distribution outlets such as iTunes, Amazon, Netflix and the hardware such as Tivo, Xbox, etc. They all seem to be proprietary which really [...]
