Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  What did St. Louis icon, Steve Mizerany, have to do with this movie?

Q.  I remember trying to rent The Last Temptation of Christ at Blockbuster, but they refused to carry it.  I then saw a thing on the news about pickets at another video store, so I busted through the lines to rent it.  Are there still religious groups harassing video stores?

A.  The NCAC (National Coalition Against Censorship) and PFAW (People For The American Way) say that censorship by religious fundamentalists is thriving.  Case in point is the boycotting of America's third largest video chain - Movie Gallery.  Religious groups have gone as far as to claim that Movie Gallery employees can contract HIV and Hepatitis B from the movies they rent!  Click on the following links for more information: (Links open in a new browser window.)

Q.  Most movies cost tens of millions to make. What's your budget?

A. Our budget is $500,000.  We shot on High Definition 24 frame digital video under the Screen Actors Guild Low Budget agreements.
Go to SAG Low Budget film contracts.



Q.  What is your marketing plan to sell the film or its distribution rights?

A.  The basic plan is to showcase our film at the best film festivals possible to get the best exposure.  Depending on the audience reception of our film will determine what paths we pursue.



Q.  Will your movie ever be offered in theaters, video stores or on TV?

A.  We hope so. Considering the amount of crap in theaters, video stores, and on TV, you would think our award-winning movie could find a legitimate venue. The problem is that the distributors that have talked to us all say the movie is very good. That the acting is superb and the production values are much higher than the $500k budget and 18 day shoot schedule we had. But they also whine that it's too risky to put up promotion and advertising money on a controversial movie that has only TV stars instead of movie stars. Then they make the offer that if WE put up the P & A money, then we could get as much as 6% of the net profit. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MOVIE THAT SHOWED A NET PROFIT. Titanic has never showed a net profit and never will. Hopefully we meet a distributor whose integrity and intellect match our own.
