They used a still from my film in the article, too! Cool. The article says that my film shows "where the genre might be headed". Hmmm... if you haven't seen the film, here it is on youtube.

Luigi film screening
My short Machinima film "Luigi's Burden" was shown this last friday at a Machinima film screening at Machine Project in LA. Here's an article about the show on CNET.

More Movie Posters
Hey! Instead of posting my own stuff, here's some foreign posters for American films to look at, again. Mostly Polish, again.
GODFATHER II
BLUE VELVET
CAULDRON OF BLOOD (This one's American)
SHORT CIRCUIT 2 (Never even saw it...)
TRADING PLACES (Seems weird at first... but makes sense when relating to the film!)
DUEL (Amazingly simple, yet so true...)
Yeah, some of these are pretty amazing! Soon I may post new, horribly designed movie posters, then my own version of how I would do them. Just to see if I can "walk the walk" or whatever... maybe... have fun!

Polish posters of American films
Look at how amazing these posters are! These are Polish poster designs for when these American films were released in Poland. Totally amazing! Why do they make such interesting poster designs? I don't know. But there are so many amazing Polish movie posters out there. The real question is, why are they sold on ebay for more money than I can spend on a poster? Damn...
JAWS 2. Not as well designed as the American JAWS poster, but it's the IDEA in this one that's amazing. This concept isn't even in the film but it still makes sense for JAWS 2, right? Weird.
ALIENS. I guess "OBCY" is how you say Alien is Polish. I would never know that this was for Aliens, but regardless, it makes me want to see whatever movie it's advertising!
ROCKY. A really interesting idea to visually show the themes of the film without showing Stallone's mug bruised and bulging. Whoever designed this must be some kind of genius.
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Dark, adventurous, dangerous, and freaking awesome all at the same time! Emphasizes his whip and death, instead of his full body for no reason like in the American poster.
GREMLINS. This is from Romania. Who would have thought that this film was even released in Romania? Totally bizarre, yet fun, funny, and confusing, all at the same time. Kind of like the film actually...
So I just think it's weird that most modern posters for American films are boring, obvious, and seemingly not well thought out. As long as every well - known actor in the whole film is on the poster, somebody in charge is happy, even if it looks like a vaseline dump.
The most powerful and effective American poster I have noticed in a long time is the teaser poster for Snakes on a Plane.
It's mysterious, yet it gets the jist of the film across, and it makes me CURIOUS about the film, which will make me want to go see it. On a last note one of the worst poster designs ever is for that semi - new Adam Sandler movie "Click". It is horrible. Just wanted to throw that in there. More poster posts to come in the future.
