The Transformation of Gerald Baumgartner (2009) is a tremendously quirky dark comedy wrapped up in the blanket of life (or better yet, an afgan with those annoying holes your toes poking out of). Gerald (Randall Malin) is an uptight man, seeminly with obsessive-compulsive disorder, that leads a very structured...

The Iron Boy (2006) is a gem of a short film from Australia. This eerie and dramatic film is wonderfully shot with dark undertones, and the spooky soundtrack compliments it perfectly. Read the review and watch the film at: http://www.dainsmoviereviews.com/2009/11/iron-boy-film-review.html

Random Lunacy: Videos from the Road Less Traveled (2007) is a great documentary following the life of William David Pearlman (more commonly know as Poppa Neutrino) and his family.

New York, NY.- October 14, 2009: In development for over eleven years, X: The Human Condition has been designed to embrace the expanding possibilities of multimedia in entertainment. Now, the live, dynamic concert performance by the music group X: THC, enhanced by emotionally charged film visuals, previews its uplifting and stimulating shock to the senses at "The Depeche Mode Halloween Extravaganza", taking place at Don Hills, 511 Greenwich St., NYC, on Friday, October 30th at 8:00 pm. Admission is $10 in advance, $15 at the door. (21 and over).
X: THC has partnered with the Jed Foundation and AFSP to donate a portion of the profits from X: The Human Condition to help these two non-profit organizations in their work, dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, self-injury and suicide. They exist to encourage, inform, inspire and invest into treatment and recovery. The inspiring music of X: THC combines the multi-layered hypnotica of smoothly grooving electronic beats, warm emotive alternative indie rock, coldly induced new wave post-modernism, lush, heartfelt, romantic blue-eyed soul & classic songwriting, with an otherworldly experimental soundscape.
X: THC breaks down the walls between musical genres, challenging categorization, while communicating performance through multiple sensory applications, known as "synesthesia".
The live music and film multimedia experience examines the human condition, pulling you in to an alternate reality...
Hypnotically delicious, it is a trance-inducing trip inside the human subconscious, combining hypnotic, surreal soundscapes with phantasmagorical, emotionally charged visual storytelling to create a unique and inspiring multi-sensory music and film experience.
X: The Human Condition alchemically fuses together influences of luminaries such as Tim Burton, Michael Gondry, Antoine St. Exupery, Darren Aronofsky, Guillermo Del Toro, Jean Cocteau, Rod Serling, The Brothers Grimm, and Joseph (John) Merrick, to create an imaginative, terrible beauty, both real and unreal, where the mind can make a hell of heaven, and a heaven of hell...

I just got word that TOOTH FAIRY will be included in a 3 hour Halloween TV special produced by Dark Carnival Film Festival and HorrorHound Magazine! It will air on October 24 at 8pm (EST) on Time-Warner channel 991, which is a local independent network that plays in Ohio and southern Indiana.
Considering that Tooth Fairy is playing in both family film showings and horror showings, it's perfect for a TV Halloween special!
Yay!
Paranormal Activities (a film made for $10,000 that ran the festival circuit and eventually got picked up by Paramount) reached a million requests for it to open in people's towns. Paramount used Eventful to set up a website in which fans can ask for the movie to open in their towns. Paramount promised that if they get a million requests, they will open it nation-wide.
Eventful will set up a request website for your film too, if you're willing to shell out $30,000 -$250,000. Or, you can donate $100 to Arin Crumley's OpenIndie project so you can do a showing in a town if you get 100 requests.
