Conventioneers - DVX Independent Spirit Award Winner - NYC Opening!

[Colione]

Hi Everybody,

I wanted to let you know about an amazing film that is opening in New York City October 20th.

The film was shot on a DVX with a the mini35. It was an ultra low budget film, and the epitomy of run and gun.

The film was shot during the 2004 Republican National Convention and it centers around Massey a Republican deligate who falls into an unlikely affair with a girl he knew in college Lea ... who is now a liberal protesting the republican agenda. Thrown into the mix is Lea's friend Dylan, who has dropped out of being a protestor to become a father, has recently been hired to be a sign language interpreter for President Bush at the convention. What follows will test their beliefs about politics, love and commitment and push the buttons on both sides of the divide.

The PR budget on this film is pretty much zero, and the promotion has been taken to the grassiest of roots. So if you are a lover of independent cinema, or you have a wonderful kind heart please go watch a wonderful film, or pass this information on!

For your viewing pleasure below is the link to the trailer.

Wow- that trailer kicks butt. I love the style, and the politics look nice and dicey! Wish I was in New York. Looks fantastic. Best of luck with the screenings!

Yeah- bring it to Toronto and I'll be there for sure. Don't know any new yorkers though, sorry.

Macbeth 3000's done and done- limited DVD's floating around- when I pick up my copies, I'll arrange an online sales thing, but not my problem at the moment, lol. I'm working on a new script though. Just entered round 2- second draft. THAT'S where I'm gonna need the luck!

Hope your screening is packed!
