After alot of requests, So You Want Michael Madsen will be officially releases at NAB 2011 this year in Las Vegas...For anyone who hasn't heard about it, it is an award winning documentary about getting names for your independent projects...low and no budgets...It is very inspirational and if i will be at the Convention April 12th at the NAB store to sign copies also...

It will also be available shortly on my site and when it is I'll post a link...

Cheers,
Stan Harrington

Fantastic Stan!

This is such a well done, entertaining doc... watching you being put through the wringer and dealing with the Hollywood Machine is so much fun! Great interviews and insights for all those who are there making it happen! Genuinely proud of you...
 
Thanks guys...It really is inspirational and works particularily well because you hear it from the artists themselves...toi often filmmakers have their own war stories and may be biased in their recollections...we all do it...but here the celebs ansewr the questions thast everyone wants to know and hear...

Cheers,
Stan The Man
 
Doh, sorry for not reading your initial post better. Can't wait to watch it! I'll spread the word to my friends and co-workers.

Cheers mate!

Cool! My short film from Fiction Fest that's on my signature was shot on a rooftop on Hollywood and Highland. If we weren't in LA, i'd say "small world".
I'm out of town for the next week otherwise i'd visit you at the Stella so i'll probably just download it!
 
Cool...except it's not available on download...you can order one and it will arive in the post...

Cheers mate...FYI, I shot up there too for a couple of films...it certainly is a small world!!!!
 
It's 15% off at NAB for the release but yes, thats right...It's only in limited release too so if you want to wait it will eventuallly go down ...right now it is being marketed strictly as a training tool...

Here's a synopsis///

'SO YOU WANT MICHAEL MADSEN?' concerns the obsession, need and desire to get a name actor for independent and low budget films. It offers an insight into what it takes to get name actors or celebrities... whether they or if they will even consider doing a low/no budget film, how to go about it, the agent/manager question, and the do's and don'ts of the approach. It also discusses what the determining factor is in their choice to do a low budget feature, if they in fact choose to do one.

Filmmakers have their own war stories about the struggles of getting anyone with a name so in an effort to deliver it straight rather than third hand, feature interviews with the name artists themselves have been compiled, including EMMY* Winner, Holland Taylor (2 and a Half Men, The Truman Show), Golden Globe* Winner, John Saxon (Enter The Dragon, Nightmare on Elm St.), Paula Jai Parker (Hustle and Flow), Jim Parrack (Battle LA, True Blood), and Doug Hutchison (The Green Mile, I am Sam) to mention a few...other footage includes JERSEY BOY, Frankie Valli, and UFC Champ, Randy Couture.

The audience will also follow a quest by Stan Harrington to get Michael Madsen, the quintessential indy actor, for an interview for this $44 guerilla project.
