I just finished a truly independent film called NOBODY WANTS YOUR FILM about the struggle to make and then get the work to an audience.
I've set up a website for the film to try and link up to an audience through the web so I can eventually convince a distributor to finance a theatrical release of the film.
On the site you can see quite a lot of scenes from the movie. The film and website have many well known actors on/in it like Steve Buscemi, Sam Rockwell, Peter Dinklage, David Proval, Peter Stormare, Daryl Mitchell, Karyn Parsons, and Pruitt Taylor Vince.

ps: if you like what you see bring your friends to the site as well.
UPDATE #2 from 3/18/05:
Because of everyone?s support things have finally fallen into place.
We've nailed down a Los Angeles theatre:
Laemmle Sunset 5 starting on Friday, May 6th.
If you all show up and show your support during that first week of the run (really during that first weekend), then the run will be extended.
If this thing works in LA then other theatres in other cities will be willing to show the film as well.
Thanks again for your help and support.

ps: we have set up an update page on the site so you can all keep up with the progress of the film?s distribution if you want.
ps2: again if you liked the site and haven't done so already... try to get friends to register as well.
UPDATE #1 from 2/26/05:
TV ads will be running on Bravo in NYC & LA during the Independent Spirit Awards (tonight 2/26 at 10pm) and on Project Greenlight (starting Tuesdays 3/15 at 9pm).
As well some of you may have noticed our ads running during the slideshows before the trailers at the Angelika Film Center in NYC & Dallas and at the Laemmle Sunset-5, Fairfax, Royal, and Music Box in LA.
Looks like we may have an LA theatre in May to show the film and are working on a NYC theatre as well.
Thanks again for your help and support.
UPDATE: LA tickets online:
Things are steadily moving ahead. We are running ads in the LA Weekly, trailers are playing at the Sunset 5, posters are in all ten Laemmle theatres, and the TV ads continue to run Thursdays at 10pm-11pm during Project Greenlight in NYC and LA.
Tickets to the Los Angeles run of NOBODY WANTS YOUR FILM starting on Friday, May 6th at Laemmle Sunset 5 (8000 Sunset Blvd. - 323-848-3500) are now available online thru the NWYF website at:

I suppose this goes without saying but I'm going to say it anyway...
I'm a nervous f-ing wreck as this long experiment comes to an end! I hope all of you in the LA area will find that hour and a half out of your schedules to support this effort. There are sceptics who still need to be shown that this idea can work and that all of you that have shown your support in cyberspace will appear in real space and buy a ticket to this film.
But regardless, DVDs of NOBODY WANTS YOUR FILM will be available sometime in the mid to late summer through the NWYF website.
Thanks again for your continued support and remember there's an update page on the site so you can keep up with the film's distribution.

ps: I hope that most of you will buy your tickets in advance to ease my hysterical neurosis but of course you can purchase your tickets at the box office when you show up to the theatre as well.
ps2: If any of you have any ideas of theatres in your area that may want to show the film (wherever that may be) please, if you can, get those theatres to visit the NWYF site. As well, email me the info about the theatre you have in mind.
