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 YouTube New Wave is here - mainstream accessible, well made indie films by filmmakers who promote their work

See two examples of YouTube New Wave (term coined by filmmaker Chris Sharpe) indie films below. Previously releasing indie films - features - on YouTube was a fringe, hobbyist activity, done by part time filmmakers with no interest in developing a mainstream audience or careers.  But now well made indie films by serious filmmakers who promote their work are getting a lot of views - over 100,000 - on YouTube.  Here are two: my movie - fiction feature - Cosmic Disco Detective Rene, and Jason Horton's Who They Are feature documentary.   *
