ACCEPTED OR NOT? LAS VEGAS INDEPENDENT FILMMAKERS SCORE BIG WITH SUNDANCELas Vegas, NV — February 9, 2005-- Vision Dynamics Entertainment, a rag-tag group of young independent filmmakers, announces that an uninvited visit to this year’s Sundance International Film Festival was a huge success in promoting their latest feature film entitled “The Indie-Pendant.” Despite a few hang-ups with Park City Police, the aggressive group of filmmakers promoted their quirky movie to thousands of Sundance and Slamdance-goers during the last weekend of the festivals. The group’s original plan was to drive up and down Main Street, showing the film’s trailers and finished scenes to patrons walking on the sidewalks. However, Park City ordinances apparently prohibit the right to promote multimedia material without a permit. Police swooped in on the group, which were the only filmmakers promoting their film in this manner. After some reassessments in their operation, the group decided to wrap themselves in their promotional handbills and walk the streets to attract interest. Multimedia Director John Paul Franco filmed the entire ordeal, and has turned it into a six-minute documentary. The documentary is now available online at www.vdefilms.com/indiependant “THE INDIE PENDANT” is a quirky comedy that combines the controversial subjects of Internet piracy, untalented Hollywood producers and screenplay theft. The film also gives viewers a first-time look at today’s independent filmmaker, and the struggles this small minority faces in dealing with the “Hollywood Machine”. “VISION DYNAMICS ENTERTAINMENT” is a Las Vegas-based independent film and music video company that has already produced fifteen music videos and three feature films. Kelly Schwarze, Director, and Co-Producer of The Indie-Pendant stated, “The irony of our visit to Sundance was that we were the only ones promoting our film, period. Our film wasn’t even in the festival. I know it’s illegal guys, but damn it’s your ART! Wouldn’t it be worth going to jail for? We had a blast, didn’t hurt anyone, and received a large amount of publicity from looking really goofy.” |
