Gonna play 9 major US cities this year (w/ out spending a lot of money), & 11 next year

Here's the plan so far:

Date Number One theatrical screenings
Ultra-low budget D.I.Y. US tour, part 1
July - November 15 (or so), 2006
Cities (exact order to be determined):
Washington, DC (again)
Baltimore, MD
New York City, NY
Chicago, IL
Los Angeles, CA
San Francisco, CA
Seattle, WA (again)
Austin, TX
Dallas, TX

Number of screenings per city, exact dates & times, venues, related special events, are all being figured out this month.

In addition to those cities, we are playing Kensington, MD on June 24th (see SCREENINGS at wilddiner.com for more info).

In '07 I will be playing 11 additional cities, part 2 of the Date Number One US tour. More info. on '07 screenings will be available in the coming months.

The film will also be submitted to several festivals around the country. So it is entirely possible that you may be able to see the movie in a theatrical setting this year even if your city is not on the above list.

And if none of that works for you, the flick will be available on DVD through the wilddiner.com STORE starting in July. And perhaps on VOD this year (I'd like to get VOD set up w/ Green Cine). But theatrical will be the best way to see it (comes w/ the director for Q & A fun). DVD will have extras. VOD will be convenient & relatively cheap.

Anyone who lives in the cities mentioned above and wants to help out w/ the tour, let me know (e-mail me: wilddiner@aol.com). Specially if you are a programmer/booker at a screening venue. And actually pretty much anyone else who wants to help is welcome, 'cause I'll need a lot of publicity assistance if nothing else. Thanks!

The case for using AI for indie film reviews (if tech is developed to be able to write good reviews)

Regardless of how it is presented to the public, everything in US film (and probably worldwide) - Hollywood and indie - is about money.  If you have the money, you can make and release films, buy ads in publications, and get reviews.  There are 200+ reviews for a mediocre Hollywood movie now at Rotten Tomatoes site - for the new Fantastic Four movie. At the same time there were less than 10 reviews for an indie movie that was playing at IFC Center in NYC last week. Outside of even IFC runs, there are 100s of indie movies - fiction features and doc features - that come out on VOD and YouTube every week these days that do not get reviewed and do not get any articles written about them. With some effort I and many other indie filmmakers are able to get some reviews for our movies. However, the vast majority of new indie films are not reviewed. Film is art, it is easier to make and release films now than it was in the past, and all films deserve reviews and articles about them. ...
