FAT MONSTER FILMS presents "O2" ... Every. Breath. Counts.

On the other hand, I don't like the idea of the voting being a popularity contest. If the films were anonymous and everyone would just have to vote purely on which one was best we would probably get a much better sense of which one was a better film.

We are constantly evaluating the fests and the voting system in order to ensure complete fairness. We have changed the way voting works before, and if/when we feel that it needs to be adjusted again, we will do so.

As for a "popularity" contest -- a massive thread probably means that many people will be AWARE of the film, and that they will WATCH the film, but that doesn' mean they'll vote for it! Pre-voting hype is fun and all, but once viewing opens and people start commenting on the films, we usually see the popularity of certain films' threads skyrocket -- the better the film is, the more likely people are to go in and comment, which makes the thread more popular, which raises awareness, which gets people to watch and vote, and basically the whole thing takes care of itself.

It's like this: Hollywood hypes the living snot out of many films, and they do so in order to get a big opening weekend. But once Friday night hits, the reviews are out. And while some might be swayed to go see a movie by a film's ads, lots of people are swayed by the reviews as to whether to go see it or not. And ultimately, people go on IMDB and vote how they felt about a film based on whether they liked it or not.
 
Luis Sinibaldi has retained FAT MONSTER FILMS to handle his marketing and branding for his HD monitors. We are rolling out a major campaign that will leverage the public's affinity for cute animals.

What part of Cute did you not understand?

And I believe the motto was "When you think of Monitors Think of Carrion, because everything else is just a Cute Little Animal Crossing the Road"

hahahahhahah

Barry, I know what you mean by the voting, and I know you guys keep striving for the best method. Thank you.

My thoughts on DVXUSER CREWS and POPULARITY

Don't be intimidated; be motivated. If what FAT MONSTER, or the MOD SQUAD or JDS or the handful of other killer talent that is starting to emerge raises the bar, then so must you.

Shoot for the stars.

this is all true but can't help but be a small bit intimidated when you hear "JACK DANIEL STANLEY" or "FAT MONSTER", but none the less we Texas boys strive on learning from our Sages along the way (I think thats the right word/spelling)

Note to self in order to bring down the god heads of JDS and Fat Monster I must shoot the night sky for my next fest entry...Stars and only stars...CHECK!

I myself have no issues with who is working on the movie. It's the voting process that bothers me.

This is why I believe that movies like Winter Lilacs slip through the cracks. Their thread received nothing but praise yet it didn't even place.

I think we need a separate judging panel myself. Why not see if a movie review site will judge for us? Just a thought.

Either way, this is a great community and I'm happy to be a part of it.
I also wish Fat Monster all the best!

New Casting Announcement

New Casting Announcement

Earlier this week we lost one of our cast members (Eric Trosman) who was flying out from Maryland. One of the challenges when producing ultra low budget productions like this is definitely casting. Eric was coming out to work for us basically for free (we had a plane ticket for his travel). Unfortunately, his work commitments made it impossible for him to make the trip.

We've been in this place before (losing our lead actress the day before shooting Where The Heart Lies.) Fortunately, we live in the middle of what is one of the biggest pools of acting talent in the country. Even more fortunately, we have Jack Daniel Stanley on the crew and he went through his mental rolodex and recalled Todd Lowe, who he studied acting with (they both got BFAs in Acting/Performance from University of Texas).

Todd plays Zack Van Gerbig on Gilmore Girls and you've seen him in The Princess Diaries (Julie Andrews, Anne Hathaway), Redline (Nadia Bjorlin, Angus Macfadyen) and Where the Heart Is (Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd). You'll soon see him in the new HBO series True Blood with Anna Paquin.

We're delighted and honored to have Todd join our cast.
