The interesting aside of "King of Kong" is that Sundance didn't/wouldn't program the film because of "Chasing Ghost" (the other doc about the arcade geek subculture) so they played Slamdance instead where the film got picked up by Picturehouse and Seth now has a 2nd picture deal as well.
I think this one breezes by. Enjoy.
While the daily indieWIRE wasn't being sent over the weekend, we were still posting videos. Scroll down for our weekend posts. We're Blip.tv stars!!!
RE-POSTED FROM GOOD HARD WORKING PEOPLE'S BLOG
We are hosting all the episodes of ReelerTV on blip.tv which is allowing large file sizes and very convenient codes for embedding all sorts of file types.
Today we realized that they are featuring two of our episodes on the front page!!!
Episode 3 about Vitus is being featured in the "Don't Miss" column on the right. And even more exciting: Episode 2 about Chavez is being featured in the loop of clips from various different shows on the top left (it's clip 12).
I have no problem with Korean gangster flicks, but I have to confess I'm more drawn by Grace Park's presence because of my geeky obsession with Cylons and Battlestar Galactica. Judge all you want. Us fans have to wait for MONTHS to see more of our favorite outerspace family so films like West 32nd give us a chance to get that home-y feeling.
indieWIRE hosted an amazing party @ the Apple store last night that we HAD to go to. I saw so many friendly faces that I hadn't seen since Sundance. DJ Jazzy Jeff and the open bar kept me out way too late. Despite the early call and the torrential downpour, yours truly was staking his claim @ a press junket between the Associated Press (AP) and the BBC for a slew of films that are in this year's fest.
Today's video features Fred Durst (yet another Jacksonville, FL native) and Jesse Eisenberg. Both guys were very cool and honest. Despite my pleas, Stu wouldn't ask Fred if he was in the film biz for the nookie, and if so, is movie nookie is different than music nookie. I guess we'll never know. Enjoy the show.
ReelerTV talks with Limp Bizkit frontman turned director, Fred Durst and his star, Jesse Eisenberg from Durst's directoral debut in "The Education of Charlie Banks".
Another hurried, yet fun edit for ReelerTV. Fredi is a great swiss gentleman as well as a self-professed magician and Theo proved to be the atypical "star prodigy". Great fun all around despite the uptight, authoritative Tribeca FF peeps. Weird, they are.
We wrapped the 2nd video for ReelerTV rather quickly today.
The charismatic actor turned director, Diego Luna, was very eloquent and entertaining making this an easy and fun edit. Enjoy.
We did it. We got the first episode up in time for the festival's launch. Hope you enjoy it.
Bruce, "Chops" director, is living in my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. The band he follows in the film is from their as well.
Check out the teaser video we here at Good Hard Working People made for the Reeler. We'll be producing daily videos for S.T. VanAirsdale and the gang during this year's Tribeca Film Festival. And we swear, we'll have a slicker website up soon. In the meantime, check out our Blog.
Over the last two weeks Luci has been building a website for "All God's Children".
From the Good Hard Working People Blog:
"It's still a work in progress. Actually in some ways the site will continue to change as the journey of the film progresses.
One addition we hope to make soon is a trailer and a few clips from the film.
If you have any suggestions (especially for the links/resources page) feel free to contact us through the email address on the site."
