My mini TIH Review (no spoilers)

raloriaI just finished watching Ten Inch Hero. What a great film! I loved it! And not simply because Jensen was in it, making Priestly the coolest guy with a mohawk ever. It was the story and the message and the characters. It all worked. I cannot understand how this film has gone 2 years without getting distribution. It's a crime that more people can't see this movie.
And I don't care that I've watched a pirated copy of the film. I'm just happy I got to see it. I'm totally against pirated films, but in this case I believe an exception needs to be made. Because, honestly, after 2 years it's unlikely this movie will ever see widespread release. It's totally unfair to everyone who worked on the film, of course, but if I had worked on it and there was no hope of it being picked up by a studio, I would be thrilled that people were even getting the chance to see it. Even if it is online through downloads. And if it ever is put out on DVD in the U.S. I will absolutely buy it!
Btw, since this is a flocked post I have something extra special to share with you. A certain Sean Patrick Flanery (from TIH) is here in WA right now. He's been filming another independent feature (a comedy) here along with Eric Roberts. I know the Extras Casting Director for the film and I'm signed up on the newsgroup she hosts for filmmaking opportunities in the area. I can also tell you that Robin Williams was here in Seattle shooting a film over the summer. *squee* So maybe....hopefully, some of the big names from Hollywood are starting to come back to the Puget Sound area to make films again.
Now I've just gotta hope that the film I'm on now will find a distributor. The plan is to have the film finished in June and send it to some of the bigger film festivals. Let's hope we don't suffer the same fate as Ten Inch Hero.
