Here is the coolest promotional kick off commercial for IFC and FILM 4's feature on the DIY filmmaking movement that has taken place in the last few years. Still early in its lifespan, they are picking up on what we have going. We may think we are flying quietly under the radar doing whatever we want to do and owning most of our own material, but IFC, DVD distributors, large publications like The New York Times and Variety magazine, and film festivals across the country are taking notice. We are here!
We love that people have finally become aware of this movement. Even though they should lose a few points for still trying to use the phrase "Mumblecore," we sense they need to find a way to market what we are all apart of. But its cool. They tagged the 70's filmmaking gang the French New Wave - thats how we refer to it now. That movement produced filmmakers like Jean Luc Godard, and several others. The Hollywood group had its wonderful cinema changing time period in the 70's right afterward that was tagged The Golden Era. This one produced filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, and even Woody Allen. And now we have...well, um...Mumblecore (I guess).
Maybe its okay. So Brian, Princeton, Ryan, Alex, Paul, Joe, Andrew, Barry, Lynn, and countless others...Tag. You're IT.
