Frustration: It's just part of the process
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.
Director Peter Judson 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.
"Nobody Wants Your Film," unrated. Running time: 1 hour, 32 minutes. At Laemmle's
Sunset 5, 8000 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, (323) 848-3500.
Tickets to the Los Angeles run of NOBODY WANTS YOUR FILM at Laemmle Sunset 5 (8000 Sunset Blvd. - 323-848-3500) are available online thru the NWYF website at:
